Merc 2.4efi issues

Last time out lacked power never got on plane. Then couldn't idle in neutral without using the gas pedal. Never happened before. Any ideas ?

Cheers

Thats what I was thinking, check you have 39psi fuel pressure test with the engine running and not running.

Make sure the little hose to the MAP sensor is clear, oil pools up in the bottom of it. And the nipples on the intake to the map sensor and reg get blocked up with crap too.

What electrics are on the motor? Analogue or digital? Is there a throttle position sensor on top of the intake?

Two weeks ago started fine on the trailer. Yesterday wouldn't start.
Where is the Map/intake sensor ? saw a couple of spots where the oil pools.

Thanks

Dont worry about the 3rd pic, that looks like the oil feed line, supposed to be oil in that one!

Post a pic of the ECU and the front of the horn.

Have you got fuel pressure at all and with the engine running?

Disconnect the boat loom and see if you have spark and all the injectors are pulsing.

Also do a compression test.
