Volvo Penta EVC C setting Idle RPM

[@kozmeticnisalon208]

HI. Can I mounting on D4 or D6 senzor for oil temperatur? On housing for filter oil is already hole for senzor

Hi ted i have a twin motor, evc c. 110 d3 and port motor is at 980 rpm and sb at 680 how can i bring down the idle please?

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

I do have a video on idle speed calibration. 980 sounds much higher than the normal range 0f 600-700 I'm thinking the controls need re calibration.

@@tedsmarinerepair8956 ok thanks, i will try and send a video. I have had a mechanic adjust manually at the cable end but he says its at its limit and the lowest he can go on the thread

[@albertoafonso9055]

Hi Ted, thanks for your videos! I am from Brazil and could learn a lot from you! I get a fault code in my Volvo Penta D3 EVC-C saying MID 140 PPID 395 FMI 6. It seems to be a circuit break but not sure if it is wires or in the EVC it self. I would appreciate your help! Thanks again

[@rgibelyou]

What should I think about if my display shows it is dropping out of calibration mode when I turn the engine on?

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

After you turn the key on and the system boots up (LCD shows data) then you enter calibration mode. If it fails you may have a control issue. Check for codes.

Hi I hv a Volvo Penta 500kva (TAD1641GE) RPM is fluctuating in seconds 1500 to 1400 and back to 1500. Engine is hunting, and ita without load. We checjed all fuel lines, injectors, all sensors. Any suggestions?

Good morning Ted, I am having troubles with my Volvo D4-260 EVC-C with CHECK THROTTLE LEVER FAULT. I have had a Volvo technician out many times as the problem is intermittent. The Volvo technician had many theories changes a few things, reloaded software and still the problem exists so I had an electronics specialist come in and he noticed when he would wiggle the communications cable from PCU to the HCU at the HCU he could make the error come and go. We used a test cable between the two and still the problem exists. Can anything be done to correct this issue? All pins look clean with no sign of oxidation. Any thoughts? ERROR codes on display MID 164, PPID 392, FMI 4 Thank you in advance.

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

That fault is low voltage feedback from the throttle lever Potentiometer in the remote control. I would start by swapping the cables from the port control lever and starboard levers. Then see if the fault jumps to the other engine. if not then swap the cables at the HCU's - this way you test the throttle potentiometer first and then the harnesses from the HCU to the potentiometer. You can also try an autoconfiguration after swapping the cables and then recalibrate the controls.

[@FranSan-k9c]

The technician has changed out the potentiometer and the cable to the HCU. He now believes it is the HCU itself. is this a possibility or probability? Cost of new one is almost $3000 and I don't wish to simply throw out that much money if it doesn't correct the issue. I have already paid almost $5000 with nothing to show for it. Your help is greatly appreciated.

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

@@FranSan-k9c From your description and the fact that you had a VP tech with a Vodia tool working on this was the right choice. Intermittent issues are a nightmare. And Unfortunately the failed item was the last and most expensive part. And yes, HCU units do indeed fail. Please Do NOT try to buy a used one - it may cause more grief. Also, If a Volvo Penta dealer installs (and programs) the HCU, it will come with a 2 year warranty. After the new one is installed and working, I would ask if I could use it for a demo "bug" for my classes (if possible). I would be more than willing to pay for shipping. Please let me know if this something you would be willing to do. Please email me at [e-mail] for my contact information.

[@FranSan-k9c]

I thank you for your help and yes I would be glad to send it to you for your help. It may be a week or so out from this point. I am having an electronics specialist hep at this point (much less expensive than a VP tech) but will have VP complete the upfit if necessary. Thanks again.

Dear sir, I am facing Check EVC system 1 on both engine plus Limited steering Limited Rpm. I have engaged local Volvo Penta representative to do diagnostic and check at least 4 times but problem still there…. Please help 🙏🙏🙏

[@rgibelyou]

Hello Sir, My activate station helm light is always lit on my evc-c3. I took the evc single installation control panel off and saw a sticker on the back that didn't match the part number in the volvo manual. The part number 21310162 is what it should be and instead the sticker shows 21310173. The only place i see that part online is from Russia. The part does look exactly the same.

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

Hello. How to tune EVC C Idle speed down. On my d4 engine 700. I would like 600. Thank you

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

I believe the lowest setting available is 700rpm on a D4

hello i want to ask, i work on tugbut boat and the engine is volvo penta D16 MH, for now the condition of my engine is in trouble, when the engine is operating the handle suddenly turns off, and can't start again please help

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean when you say "the handle suddenly shuts off" does the engine shut off, does the reverse gear come out of gear.....?

We have D6-330 a-e with evc-c the 20 Amp circuit breaker trips we upluged the pcu an the breaker stopped tripping you can smell burnt electrical. Is likely to be just a bad pcu are shorted wiring down stream?

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

It is possible. Power contines through the PCU to the HCU(s). I would leave the PCU plugged in and unplug the x2 connector to the HCU. Try again if the breaker trips you need a PCU. If it doesn't unplug the x2 @ the HCU. If it still trips its in the harness going to the HCU.

i have a D6350 lately it is becoming hard starting when hot. [after running at cruise] starts ok when cold. any ideas? thanks

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

Several possibilities (no guessing on this one). You need a tech to run a diagnistic check under the same conditions with a Vodia scan tool to determine what parameter is the cause.

I have a 2005 5.0GXI which idles at 900rpm to 1000rpm on the hose after advancing the throttle and returning back to neutral. The engine cover sticker says 600rpm. I changed the IAC and checked to see if the throttle body was sticking. Cant figure it out. I wonder if there is something like this causing the IAC to increase the rpm?

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

Possible failed tps. If it fails the Ecm doesnt see closed throttle and holds rpm at higher than idle to prevent stalling during a throttle chop.

[@outattheisland]

@@tedsmarinerepair8956 Ok, thanks for the reply. I did replace that recently with a new unit but have had the same issue. Motor runs really smooth and starts right up but RPM is just not where it should be. Love your content and insight on these marine engines. Will continue to like, comment, and subscribe.

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

@@outattheisland Is the idle rpm normal on initial start and then become elevated after opening and closing the throttle? Is this repeatable?

[@outattheisland]

@@tedsmarinerepair8956 yes, thats exactly what happens. Initial startup is perfect. Idle settles to normal and stays there but as soon as the throttle body is advanced and then released it doesn’t return to the normal idle and stay at 900-1000. Ive replaced the fuel pressure regulator, pulled the fuel rail, lines, and injectors cleaned them thoroughly. I did find paint chips in one injector so after cleaning I replaced the fuel cell as well. I did new fuel lines to the tank and fittings.The engine runs great but the idle is just not at or near 600. I feel its something with the ECU. The only sensor I pretty much haven’t replaced is the crank position sensor but would it even run as perfect as it does if that failed? Yes it is repeatable any time its started and I cant find or hear any vacuum leaks that would allow more air into the engine.

[@tedsmarinerepair8956]

@@outattheisland It does sound like a TPS fault due it idles fine on start up. If it had a vacuum leak it would have a high idle on intial start. You need a scan tool to check what the TPS voltage. It could also be a poor ecm ground. Check the ground wires on the back of the flywheel housing. Remove, inspect, clean and reinstall them.
