Throttle jumps in gear while in neutral??

[LennoxConner]

Our Volvo KAD44 port engine jumps i gear while on tick over! This happened while i was on the pontoon and suddenly the boat started moving about while luckily still be well tied up. The mechanic has changed the throttle potentiometer but the problem seems to keep on coming back especially when mooring!!. We also have an intermittent drop in revs from 3250rpm fluctuating 2250rpm while cruising. The mechanic has also replaced many of the connections on the engine too. I would appreciate any thoughts on the matter as this is a very dangerous fault that needs a permanent fix?

As I said in a previous post SPM unit .
Signal processing module , it’s an additional unit fitted to the edc loom from the throttle control to eliminate your problem

Put him on ignore. He deserves it and you won't be tempted to respond in the future.

+1 this is defeating the object of a forum, To discuss a topic on a level that ALOT of people can read and learn at the same time.

We are a community but some are extremely selfish and only comment and come across as friendly when they are in need of help, Once there problem is resolved they refuse to help others and turn their backs until the next time.

It's a give and take game on here and if folk dont want to play the game by the "Unwritten" rules then they need to move on and away from communities like this!

It's so bloody irritating!
