Mastercraft idling rough and told you such last year to no avail - LOL.

Anyways took her out last couple of weeks, still rough idle (same as last year), but ran fine. Quick out of the hole pulling up all size slalom skiers last couple of weekends.

Then went slalom skiing this past weekend and about drowned my wife as no quick get up and go, but once up speed not an issue.

So rough idle and no quick get up and go. When you hit the throttle it is sluggish and then finally picks up speed, but top speed only 37 and should be about 47 mph.

What say you sir as I have my guess, lets see if we are on the same page as I need to fix it this weekend -- as if Momma ain't happy nobody is happy ans Momma wants to ski.

Now let me see if I have this straight.

Maverick has "rough idle and no quick get up and go" and his wife ain't happy.

Not enough bumpers on the lake yet. Give it time. I'm confident he will rise to the occasion.

Next time you launch the boat, leave the trailer attached to the truck, not the boat - you are lucky to be able to make 37...

Steve it is EFI Chevy 350. Thanks

When I say rough idle, I do not mean pulsing up and down, just like it is missing, thought this might help clarify the rough idle comment.

I think mine and your system is about the same. I would guess, you either have a "Intake Air Temp" sensor that is inop, or a "Water temp sensor" that has gone bad. They will give the ecu a bad signal and the system will stay in "Inrichment" mode. I can send someone there with laptop if you want. How is Mathew and Bass boat going? I will call you in while.

Bass boat going fine, bet there are not more than 5 hours on it since the rebuild. As he has not been at the lake a lot recently, but was there this past weekend to participate in the Children's Harbor fishing event and took out several of the children fishing. Asked if he caught anything and he said no as he never fished as he was trying to ensure the kids did not hook one and other when they casted their poles.

Thought it might be a sensor, but was also thinking the spark plug wires might be the issue. Call me when you have a moment and hope the Cathouse at lake Martin is busy.
