How to Choose the Right Sea-Doo Model?
Considerations for the 2002 GTX 4-TEC Models
For those considering purchasing a 2002 GTX 4-TEC, here are some important points to consider:
Reliability and Common Issues
The 2002 models were the first year for the 4-TEC engine and had several issues that were addressed in later years. Two specific problems unique to the 2002 models include:
- Transition ECU: This ECU was rushed into production before DESS (Digitally Encoded Security System) was fully functional, leading to the addition of a "DESS amplifier" inline between the DESS post and ECU. This ECU also had issues with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) settings.
- Crankshafts: The crankshafts were not forged properly.
ECU Replacement
The original ECU, part number 664130, was often replaced under a "soft campaign" with part number 664131 in early 2003. The updated ECU still had some DESS issues and used a DESS emulator inline, although it wasn't always necessary.
Pump Replacement
If a pump is failing, it is possible to replace or rebuild it yourself. Purchasing a third-party complete assembly can be a cost-effective solution. The 2002's were the 1st year for the 4TEC and had a bunch of issues, a lot of which were fixed over the years.
Pricing Advice
When evaluating a 2002 GTX 4-TEC, consider the potential maintenance and repair costs associated with these early models. Check for the updated ECU part number and inquire about any previous crankshaft issues.
