2005 115hp 4 stroke outboard runs perfectly for 10 km then looses power and goes into limp mode. If engine is turned off then back on again will run normally for 400m - 2km then goes back to limp

Do you have any suggestions? Motor has been into local workshop twice and still problem exists.

Sounds like something is overheating and the engine computer is trying to prevent more serious damage. Your workshop must have changed the impeller and flushed the cooling system, so you will have to look deeper. It could be an electrical component that is failing or even the ECU itself, or, perhaps a sensor is sending a bad signal. Have you checked for error codes, that would be useful. Beyond that, it will not be possible to diagnose the problem from Fixya. You heed a better workshop.

SOURCE: diagnose 'check engine' warning alarm

might be some electrical problem, because, Suzukis are mostly controlled Electronically, it may represent a malfunction!!
try contacting an electrition!!

My girlfriends car has just started with the same problem, a limp home from the garage, a sleep over night and als well next day, for a while... I spoke to Mitsubishi and they have told me the TPS (throttle positioning sensor) is on the accelorator pedle assembly. There PN for this is MN125791 and its circa £88 + VAT. After exhausting all other options I may attempt this replacement and will advise the results.

SOURCE: 2005 Lincoln LS in Limp Mode. I can start the car

You have a very bad COP Ignition Coil,that is spiking the PCM (computer)
The spike comes back on the TPS Sensor,then the PCM doesn't see the
throttle signal your foot sent thru, the pedal actuator (gas pedal) ,so it puts the
car into ETC Failsafe,and you can only go 6 mph.

If you got no ETC Failsafe, on the bottom right side of the dash, tell me what you do have
I need all the codes,if you have a MIL Lamp on ( the one that looks like a wrench)

In your case the turbocharger is responsible for engine losing power.
The car goes in "limp home" mode!!!
After scan the EDC-15P engine control unit with a VAG or KTS -BOSCH diagnosis tool you will find this: Fault code: P1557-Turbo Boost pressure control exceeded
1. Engine stopped and ignition switch off. Check all pneumatic connections and hoses between turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control, boost-pressure control solenoid valve, vacuum reservoir, EGR control solenoid valve, intake-manifold flap solenoid valve, EGR valve with throttle - part of intake manifold. Also the vacuum connection between tandem pump and brake booster. If you find something wrong replace parts. If not go to step 2.
2. Extract the hose of the turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control part of turbocharger. Instead of the original hose you must place another 1 meter long hose with the same inside diameter, and then you check to inspire yourself the air from the other one extremity of this hose. The mechanical connecting rod of the turbocharger actuator must have a smooth and whole motion. If you can do that with your mouth, then you must replace the boost-pressure control solenoid valve. If you can not reach this with your mouth, then you go to step 3.
3. This is the most difficult work. The problem is that the soot particles deposits inside the turbocharger plugging the variable nozzle geometry mechanism = adjustable vanes of the turbine. If the turbocharger actuator is not able to adjust the turbine vanes the charge air pressure increase too much and ECU (engine control unit) go in "limp mode" = engine protection software. As a result the "limp home" mode engine still running until you turn the engine off (ignition switch off) and back on when the "limp mode" is deactivated, but the fault still remain in ECU memory!
4. You must be able to extract the turbo from the engine and then to disassemble the turbocharger, clean inside adjustable vanes mechanism and refit all.

Testimonial: "THANK YOU VERY HELPFUL ITS THE VANES WHAT ARE SOOTY ITS HAD ALL NEW PIPES AND THE ACTUATOR ARM MOVES OK SO ITS GOT TO BE SOOT BUILD UP IN THE VANES."

2010 150 Evinrude E-Tech. Motor was running great then just shut off. Will not start again.Could it be it needes to be reset, all 4 lights at tach light up showing good.

first bit of advice
do not use e-mix fuels in outboard engines
WHY
because ethanol separates from the fuel if not used continuously so letting it stand between outings is not good
secondly ethanol is hygroscopic which means that it absorbs moisture from the air that is going in via the tank vent and that results in corroded aluminium parts and rusted fuel tanks and outboards operate in a very moisture laden environment
now for the problem
being a late model engine , it should be a 4 stroke and like any 4 stroke engine , check the timing belt/chain, crank/cam position sensors , ignition module
it is important to check all harness connections as salt water rapidly causes corrosion in electrical connections and components
have the service agent do a scan for fault codes remember this
Suzuki out board 2 stroke motors were used in the early suzuki 4x4 cars and modern 4 stroke engines are simply car engines on end

I have a 2006 Yamaha 4 stroke 40 hp outboard. If it sits idle for a month or more it will not run smoothly. I can not seem to correct this problem?

1. NEVER run gas with ethanol in the engine.
2. When you start it put one half can of anti fogging fluid in gas and run it for 10 minutes.
3. When you are going to store it turn the gas supply off while the engine is running and let the engine run out of gas. That way there is no varnish build up in the carb.
4 change the spark plug twice each season.

Water got into the engine oil of my 8 hp 4 stroke when on the boat only as troller

Water gets in your engine through the exhaust with the boat speed! Lift that engine when not in use!

Runs along fine then looses power but if you shut it off and restart its fine again

Momentarily Sluggish Acceleration

Are you loosing power to the ecu when the car is shut down? most cars with an ECU that controls timing, fuel, or boost can be forced to relearn the car if the ECU looses power (called a "limp" mode). I'd look into this. Also are you getting any check engine lights? considering the description of the problem, this would help to diagnose. Try getting the car started and running normally, then turn the car off but do not kill the power to the car, just stop the motor from running...Fire the engine back up and try to give the car a good stomp on the gas and see if you get the same sluggish problems...my 2 cents... Good luck future auto DIY's

200hp suzuki outboard goes into protective mode at higher rpms

You either have a bad temp sensor, insufficient amount of oil, or more likely a water restriction. With suzukis, especially the newer 4 stroke models, they have a tendency to not have the greatest flow of water to the intake, they have screens in the intake that are easily blocked as well.
