    ECU Flashing

    Your motor uses a MEFI-3 or 4 (probably 3) ECM and if can be reflashed. To do it, will need something like MEFIBurn Will need to erase the program and build a new file. Need AFR gauge and install O2 sensors in the exhaust to tune. Either that or send out to have a approximate tune loaded

    What does this marking mean on this new to me outdrive?

    No ignition spark or fuel at the injectors into the throttle body when cranking. Please help. 4.3 ltr Mercruiser EFI
