    Why does my 4.3 L engine have water in crankcase and all 6 cylinders?

    Check your exhaust risers for leaks. Quite common for leaks to occur into the engine after a few years.

    I agree there are some differences. I will try and sort those out. My socket is not quite the same orientation as that shown in the you tube link.

    So looking in the relay connection socket #85 is a good solid ground. #30 is a good solid 12 volts plus. #87 shows continuity with coil and regulator. #87 to #30 shows voltage when checked with multimeter. #86 shows nothing at all which is the narrow pink/white wire to the ECM.

    If the ECM is shot the boat is just not worth it.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI No Spark Issue

    Tried a new relay and nothing. I am getting a healthy 12 volts plus on the terminal that is supposed to get 12 volts however it is not switched across to the pink wire to the coil. I am resigned to the fact this boat will not get in the water this year or possibly ever. A lot or work to get the...

    Wires are in same clip at coil. How about detaching the signal wire at the tach which currently I have easy access to.

    One other thing to add. In the workshop manual it mentions a bad tach connection can cause a no spark situation. I believe I have a good connection here but not sure.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI No Spark Issue

    I did jump across the relay inputs from the red power side to the purple/white wire that leads to the ignition coil before but get no spark when cranking. IU believe thats because the white/pink wire goes to the ECM as a "wake up" connection and that is not powered up in this jump scenario. I...

    I should add that the fuel pumps do work when cranking engine over.

    I have ordered a new relay. I used the fuel pump relay but that to is old and did not work. Good point about test light and multimeter. Will do some more testing today.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI No Spark Issue

    Yes .However with the relay in place I get zero volts at pink wire connector at ignition coil with ignition on.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI No Spark Issue

    Long shot here but here goes. My ignition relay appears to test ok however when I turn on the ignition there is no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. So is a bad relay the certain cause of this? I do get power at 86.
