I had my 600hr check in August. I told them it was getting hard to start/idle. It also would rev up and or die when throttling back to neutral. I put it back in the shop last week. They told me it didn't show any bad codes. They cleaned the injectors @ $400. I fished Friday and Saturday. It seems worse now than before. What's next? Please PM me

Check out your IAC (Idle Air Contol) valve. This controls your idling and can cause those symtoms.

Well it turned out to be loss of compression #1 and #6. It had 97 minutes of run time in the 5000-6000 RPM range in 659 hours. I don't feel I ever ran it real hard.The rebuilt the powerhead. It was in the shop for 11 weeks.
