My ETEC had issues running above 4000 rpm. Finally took it to my mechanic that found when the motor was installed on the boat the fuel line, oil line and shift throttle cables were somehow twisted and kinked causes many issues. The one that I never saw was the issues with the oil line. This motor is an 2009 with only 90 hours when I purchased the boat and motor in the summer. Up until now I was worried I purchased a motor with major issues. The mechanic told me I was fortunate I did not ruin the engine by starving it of oil. I never got an oil alarm, only fuel alarms
