I've been having a problem when the engines are totally warmed up and I come up on plane ... after a short time the RPMs on the Port engine start dropping off, it literally drops down about 200-300 RPMS. Then after 3-4 more seconds I get a "2215 IMV Press Low" error on Port. I looked up 2215 and found (assuming I am not mistaken):
2215 Fuel Pump Delivery Pressure — Data Valid but Below Normal Operational Range — Moderately Severe Level
some further reading, again my data may be incorrect, seemed to indicate that this error could be caused by a problem on the high pressure pump, a fuel sensor on the fuel rail, or an internal fuel link into the fuel system line.
Note: The Racors were replaced just a few weeks ago, the fuel isn't old in the boat (and it's treated) and there is no obvious fuel leak I can see in the bilge. I ran the boat after replacing the Racors with no problem but today (2nd or 3rd time out after doing the Racors) I had the problem resurface.
I'm wondering if:
a) all my thoughts so far seem correct
b) any simple ways I can further diagnose/troubleshoot (or does it need to go to the mechanic at this point)?
c) anything else it could be that I'm not thinking of?
any and all advice appreciated.
Sincerely,
Capt. Jason
