Per a couple of previous, I have a literally brand new ECU for sale for a Volvo Penta 5.7gxi that is on my 2007 Cobalt 212. I had purchased the ECU for $2,200 brand new a few weeks ago and it unfortunately it didnt fix my issue and it has never been used (Volvo would not allow me to return the part ...

Soooo, the final chapter to the saga above took a little twist and thought I would post in case anyone else ever has this issue. After purchasing the new ECU from Volvo penta for $2,200 it turns it out that wasnt the issue. The ECU had been shutting down...however, it was shutting down due to a ...

Yea been trying to find a salvage engine part one somewhere. Found one in texas but they wanted $1700 and a new one is $2200....so I figured for an extra $500 I might as well go new. Such a bummer with so few hours on the engine...ugh!

To close this out in case anyone else has this issue after a month of troubleshooting....unfortunately the computer chip in the engine went out. And of course Volvo has that part overpriced at $2200 right now. The engine only has 300 hours on it. I hope this doesnt happen to anyone else!

Yea I checked the kill switch right away. It is pushed all the way back so it was straight up and down under the dash (attached pic). I was hoping it was that, ha!

Update...I switched relays and the fuel pump is running. But there is no spark before the distributor cap so it looks like the problem is there is no power to the primary coil and not sure what else. I would appreciate any ideas anyone has, haha.

there was a single beep after the engine cut out...not sure if that means anything specific. I cant find any "beep code" online for the Volvo Penta 5.7gxi

Thanks so much for the info, very much appreciated! Hmmm, so it must not be the kill switch because it is pushed back and not forward. Yea, its definitely in neutral as well. So much for the easy fixes, haha. Not sure what else would just make it shut down suddenly and then not restart. Im kind of ...

My 2007 Cobalt 212 has a kill switch under the dash (pic below). The metal piece that the lanyard hooks on to doesnt move at all....it just a metal piece that comes down. Im assuming you hook the lanyard around that but how does the kill switch activate? My kid was using the boat and it just cut out ...

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of summer. I was out in by 2007 cobalt 212 yesterday and was going about 15mph when the engine just shut off and then beeped one time. When I tried to restart it the engine cranks but wont turn over. There is power (battery charge is fine), spark plugs are new ...

I have that same issue as well...It doesn't seem like mold to me though? Interested to see what results you guys get

Thank you! I will reach out to them! A new repair kit (the $500 one) was installed in 2016.....so maybe they can work with me for something...

$1200 option
