I have a pair of 4.3 GXI's that had very little use for about 4 years when I bought the boat. the exhaust heat sensors on the back of the risers sensed an overheat situation and I wound up replacing manifolds and risers. The computer "de-powered the engines as programed to do but now the engines will not get over 2900 RPM when max should be 4000-4400.
Could the computers both still have that overheat code in them?
