Hi guys,
Recently bought a used 2004 TLDI MD90 from a friend, he said everything was running well on his boat when he pulled it a few months ago. I got the controls, wiring and gauges from him as well.
Got it installed on my boat yesterday and took it out for a sea trial today. She fires up instantly and idles fine, an occasional slight rpm surge, but she is running LOUD (maybe normal?) and vibrating alot, pissing water just fine and not overheating but with the noise/vibration I was worried to get too far from the marina
I stuck her back on the trailer and came home to do some more research.
I am trying to check the codes or pull the engine hours via pushing the key in on the ON position for 5 seconds, but it is not doing anything. When I first turn the key to ON, all 3 of the dummy lights do light up and turn off in a second or 2 as expected.
I also noticed I am not getting any chime when I turn the key to on.
The person who installed the motor was not very familiar with TLDIs so not sure if he possibly hooked something up incorrectly to the tach? the tach did work and show RPMs while in the water
Any ideas on why I would not be able to pull the codes, or at least check the engine hours? Also why no chime on key turn?
