Thanks Ripcuda, I think I can perform these tests, but they require going to the lake. Hoping the weather permits one more trip. Only thing I didn't understand is the meaning of "throttle binding". Really appreciate the help. If anything else I should do, please let me know.

Hello, I have a 2001 Challenger 1800 240 EFI M2 Gen 1. When I start the engine cold, it idles at 1100 RPM (as specs). After running it for a while and getting the engine warm, when I reduce the throttle to idle, it idles really high around 1800 - 2000. Even if I shutdown the engine for 10-15...

Thank you very much for your response. I purchased a timing light to go ahead and start with my diagnostics and make sure if I am getting spark as you asked. I was about to start checking my grounds and connections first. But, I figured I would try to start thee engine before I do anything. To...

Hello Everyone, I have a 2001 Challenger 1800 240 EFI M2 Gen 1. I recently got this boat fixed and had 2 trips only on it. Previous issue was that boat was starting every time, but then dying after 2-3 seconds and the reason was because not all cylinders were firing because of a bad trigger...

Just to finalize this thread and give anyone needing to change their reverse cable an update. Part number was: OEM: 204170135 This part is discontinued and not easy to find, but I found a company that sells similar one. Company name is SBT. Here is a link to part: Reverse/Shift Cable for...

Any tips on where to get this from? Part number? Can I use any generic control cable as long as the length works? Any tips on installation procedure are appreciated.

I wanted to update everyone that the problem has been resolved. The mechanic just called me 2 days ago to come pick up the boat. I went yesterday and tried it and it was performing well. I asked him what he did and he said that he changed the trigger assembly and the wire connections that it...

Thanks again for all useful tips. I haven't fixed the issue yet, but wanted to share my update. The mechanic just got back to me and diagnosed that my trigger assembly needs replacement. He was not getting spark on all the pistons (I think only 3) and went through the ignition troubleshooting...

Hi Tim, thanks for your quick response. I am hoping to get access to the boat by end of this week so I can do the suggested tests. If the throttle plates are not moving properly, I shouldn't see smooth voltage transition of TPS, correct? I didn't do a compression test because I was focused on...

Hello Everyone, I have a 2001 Challenger 1800 240 EFI M2 Gen 1. I have this really weird issue, I can always start the engine, not right up, but after few tries. The engine starts, runs for 2 seconds or so and then dies. I fixed few things which were bad, but still have the same issue, but now...
