Greetings everyone, just found this site while trying to diagnose a problem with our 2005 RXT. Took it out for the first time this year yesterday. It started and ran just fine right off the trailer. First 10 min I was letting it warm up and just making sure everything was OK keeping it below 4000 rpm. Finally decided it was time for some fun so headed across the lake at about 45-50 mph and it was runing great for about 1 min. Then power fell off like I had clogged a fuel filter or a couple of injectors. It would idle and run to about 3000 rpm but was missing badly. I was able to idle back to the dock and got it out of the water. On the trailer I was able to start it again and it was running on no more than 2 cylinders. I pulled the injector connectors one at a time and pulling cyl 3 made it run even worse. Pulling cyl 2 killed it. pulling cyl 1 made no change at all. I figured fouled plug or clogged injector.
I got back to the house with it and tried to do a quick diag. Pulled the plugs and they all looked ok so I unpluged the connectors for the coils #2 and #3 put the plug in coil #1 and grounded the plug just to check to see if there was any spark (with all the plugs out) I cranked it over and got spark. I pulled the key and shut everything down and was going to try the same thing with the other 2 plugs but when I plugged the key in there was a much longer wait for the "beep" and it was a single long "beep" but there was not dash read out or gauge sweep like usual. I was not able to start or even turn the engine over.
I have checked all of the fuses and took apart and re connected every connector I could find thinking there might be a bad contact or something. No luck. I can't even get a readout so I can't do a self diag. code check. The local shop can't get to it for over a week. Anyone have any ideas?
thanks for the help
