Good day folks!
Greetings from tropical Indonesia!
Need your assistance on our D3-160A-B here. Just finished working on the D6-350's so now next up is our little 14' mahogany cruiser and she is having problems.
We got the boat with only 2hrs on the clock years ago, after she was sitting for nearly 2 years unattended.
Anyhow, after we rebuilt her and get the engine going, we have had 'SYSTEM ELEC FAULT' on the EVC (this was around about 2014, a year after we got her) and she has been running absolutely fine with no problems, and can go up to top RPM, even with the fault on the EVC.
This season, she would only incrementally go up to 2700 PRM, before she drops her speed, and goes into 'Limp Mode' and maxed at 1500 RPM. Turn off the engine, start again, and I can push all the way to full RPM however would only last about a second before she drops RPM again. Max is at 2700RPM where she will cruise stable and not go into Limp Mode.
We have checked:
-Diesel Primer ( no air, or leaks, push button does not soften up indicating any leaks present)
-Changed filters (Racor, Fuel Filter)
-Checked engine Oil-All OK
-Checked whole EVC and HIU connections and cables- All OK
-Battery seems to be OK aswell
-Cleaned the diesel tank ( was some dirt on the filter so we cleaned up the tank)
We did have Vodia check it out, cant locate the results screenshot however it is for sure some electrical issue. It somehow detected that one of the components (either EVC or HIU) was overheating thus it goes into Limp Mode. However in reality, they were not overheating.
When the problem appears, we shut down the engine, restart, and she can go full RPM, however after a couple of seconds, returns to Limp Mode.
Anyone had any similar experience? Despite the System Elec Fault code appeared, she still ran effortlessly, so it is a little bit of a mystery.
Appreciate your thoughts,
Thank you
Christopher
