The water flow from the engines is normal, the temp of the water is cool. Any ideas as to what is happening. Oh the fuel is about 3 months old alos. Some said this could be the problem, but thats hard to belive."

"What year are your motors. This sounds more like a bad O2 sensor.

Symptom if the O2 sensor goes out:

1. The engine runs perfect
2. After a few minutes at idle the check engine alarm will sound.
3. If you turn off the engine, then restart to reset the computer, the alarm will go off. If you give it throttle right away and start cruising, the alarm never sounds. If you leave it idling, the alarm sounds again in 2 or 3 minutes.
4. Once you throttle back to idle, the alarm sounds again.

Sound like your problem?
