- This is part 1 of a new series of videos in which I will go over the early (1990's) Volvo Penta EDC engines. This video is a brief overview of what makes this an EDC engine and some of the components on the engine. Let me know if you have anything you would like covered for these in future videos.
Please make part two 👍 would like a full run down of the electronic system. And how to determine a faulty EDC
Thanks Ted, very interesting. Please keep up the good work!!!
Looking forward to part 2
I'm getting a 3 -3 code volvo kamd 44 Edc motor I changed temp sensor code will not reset.any suggestions. Compressor does not shut off after warm up.thanks George
Ted, I have a KAMD-44 and a few weeks ago the instrument panel as well as the Control panel at the helm began powering up without a key being present. I have to turn power off at the batteries to kill power to the instrument panel and control panel. The engine starts and runs, but I seem to be experiencing some minor issues that may be associated with the EDC. The engine seems to smoke more, and the shifting seems a little rough at times. The EDC is not providing any diagnostic faults. Do you have any ideas?
what is the difference between the KAMD 44 and the KAD 44? I have a KAD 44 (1999)
Hello Ted, working on one of these engine right now. There are two lugs on the starter side of the engine down near the starter. The "EDC connections" as you stated in this video. What powers these up? So here is my issue the starter relay in the black box on the top of the engine wasn't getting power on the signal side of the relay. I traced that wire down to the positive lug on on the "EDC connections". The previous owner put a jumper wire from that lug to the battery. This caused the battery to drain and killed them. I put that wire on the switch but I'd rather fix the problem then to use that jumper wire. So basically I just need to know how what supplies power to that lug. Thank you very much. I truly appreciate the help. And especially this video.
Hello Ted,
Did you ever repair the shaft seal from the diesel injetionpump on this side were the seawater pump gets it place?
The shaft on my kamd44 is leaking a little bit oil.
Thanks for your very guiding TH-cams
Best regards from Germany

Great info
Ted, Can a faulty RPM sensor or corroded flywheel generate a no start condition?
Hello.
I found your TH-cam channel and appreciate it greatly. I have a boat that’s new to me with twin fairly low hour Kad44s, and not surprisingly, I’m having an electronic issue that I can’t seem to solve. I found a couple of videos on this engine and you mention a series, which I can’t seem to find. Did you continue on with videos covering this engine? FYI, here is my issue:
Kad44 won’t turn over at key
I select station, neutral lights come on, but when I turn the key I get a click from the solenoid and the neutral light goes out. Starter is new, batteries are good, and I can fire the engine and run it by jumping the solenoid or the start relay. I’m not getting any codes. It’s acting like the batteries are dead or something is shorting out when I turn the key. Because the neutral light goes out immediately when I turn the key as the engine bumps, I feel like the issue is in the shift circuit but swapping shift actuators between engines does not change anything. Fuses and plugs appear to be good. Swapping relays and key switches also does not help. Continuity is good from the key switch to the EDC unit and from the EDC to the start relay. It would appear that the EDC is immediately killing power to the start circuit for some reason. The Port engine is fine.
Thanks for the videos and any help you can share on this. I have five charter boats and have a long and pretty successful history of keeping them alive. I was warned about this first generation EDC system, but the boat is immaculate and I’m hoping to get a year of light use out of it before repowering.

Hey Matt, what ever came of this? Super curious! Looking at a potential project with kamd44's
Was this season ever continued?
What are you looking for? I may be able to do a video on it.
Hi Ted. Like your first video.
I would love to understand how the turbo and compressor works together while driving in different rpms and how the magnetic clutch works. I have two kad44, but believe they are pretty much like the kamd 44, except the stern, right?
I have a problem with my turbo or compressor (or something else?). Between like 2400 rpm and 3000 rpm the throttle goes forth and back and after a while with my lever on full throttle I managed to get up and keep it steady over 3000 rpm. Is this a problem with the magnetic clutch?
Regards
Robin
@robinhaglund5994 I would need some more info to help determine the issue. I am available for consultation. Please email me at marinedoc01@yahoo.com
I have 480HP Volvo Penta 2006 black smoke coming out from starboard engine on will I speed over 9not ? We change turbo charge. We check oldall the exhaust system. All good ? What else I can look for?
Check boost and exhaust back pressure @ full load
@@tedsmarinerepair8956 thank you we enjoy your channel.
That’s a mefi 2 don’t it?
