Bad for everyone....  (this is Q2, not Q3)

Remember, the street values how you do vs your peers....

wow.  I think its telling when MC Q2 describe "Better-than-Expected Financial Results" to include "Net sales down 37.5%" and "Diluted Adjusted Net Income down 69.2%"

I used to joke that Flat is the new Up, but now Flat would be a miracle

My money is on industry wide.

I am fighting bad injectors now on a 2002, 5.7 Indmar MPI and this will bring the thread up to date on what I found.  The rescue boat I'm working on has been sitting 2.5 years so many gremlins lurking.  I drained the fuel, flushed the tank replaced the fuel pump, and flushed the rails. I started right up and ran poorly.  I pulled the injectors and the screens were full of rust. I had them cleaned and checked locally and they were returned with a test sheet saying they all are within spec.  It ran much better, but I could tell it wasn't right and it loped at idle a lot and would eventually die.   I did the trick of pulling the injector wires while driving the boat at moderate power and 3 cylinders weren't hitting.  I moved the injectors around and the dead cylinders moved with the injectors.   I decided to replace the injectors but I couldn't find what to order.  I searched the net and called the dealer.  I called Indmar and got the right guy on the phone.  The injector is a Rochester part number is 19244617.  They are a 250 cc or 24 lb/hr injector as mentioned above. He said somewhere along the line GM changed the diameter of the hole in the intake manifold and I may have to ream out the holes a bit.  He said this can be done with the manifold left on.  Use a shop vac while reaming to pull the cuttings up. 

The boat motor uses fuel injection technology from the early 90's.  Because boat motors don't have mass air flow and exhaust sensors for feedback they don't use modern systems.

One of the companies I talked to in the process was RC Fuel Injection; they were very helpful.  They offered to check my injectors and advise me on the correct flow rate.  When I got the part number they could provide a close injector.  I ordered a full set of these. They are 23#/hr injectors. It is considered a performance injector and was less than replacements from the auto store. We will see if they fit and if it fixes the problem.

The screen problem we are talking about is on the 2011-14 Malibus with the touch screen to the right of the steering wheel. They all delaminate and eventually fail. Malibus solution is to sell you a new one for thousands of dollars and it will also fail. Malibu has made no effort to change the way the screens are made so this will not happen even though its not that hard. Third party companies have stepped in to fix the problem. I'm not aware of any consistant problems with newer screens.
