Hi,
I posted this problem before, but the symptoms have changed. Anyhow, my 2002 RX DI was drowned and the person that did it rolled it over the wrong way and flooded it. I got on it right away and did the things that I saw in the video; I took out the plugs and cranked it until I stopped seeing water, then I sprayed the cylinders with WD40, replaced the plugs and ran it. I also filled the tank with fresh gas.
The ski runs fine on the trailer but as soon as it is in the water, the rpm drops to 3000-3200 rpm and won't go any higher. It is almost as though the ski is getting too much back pressure.
At first there was a "maint" display it had 3 short buzzer with 3 lites, indicating a bad TPS, but this went away on it's own. I took it to a dealer who reset the "maint" with a VCK and he said that there were no codes in it.
I have looked all over the ski and can't find any lingering water. I checked the injectors and they are both shooting gas. The only odd things that I can see is that after running for a few minutes one plug is wet and the other is dry, almost as if it is not getting any fuel or is very lean. The throttle responds almost normally at a low pressure, but after about a third of the way to full, it sounds like it is bogging down, like getting too much fuel or that it is running on one cylinder?
Any ideas on what to check next is a big help. I have a manual, but can't find anything except to start testing componenets.
