2006 Dauntless 220 with a Mercury Verado 225:

I’ve been having a sporadic issue where the engine will rev on start or after coming back into neutral to the point where I can’t shift into F or R because of the increased revs. I also get a beeping around the time it might happen with no status on the LCD screen.

Turning off the engine for a bit will usually allow me to start and get back into gear.

My BW/Verado tech has never heard of it, couldn’t replicate it, and sees no error codes in the system. Thinks it could be a failing throttle ECM.

Any one ever experience this?
