    87 mercruiser 3.0 clicks but won't crank

    Here is the wiring for the start circuit. The slave solenoid has to large wires on it, Red purple and Yellow/Red. If you cross those two terminals its the same as talking a screw driver and crossing between the main starter post and the small left post. If your unable to get anything by...

    Trouble Code 0336 with new motor

    Found a source of the GI wiring but it shows the EST distributor and not the HVS. With that I don't see how it can be correct. It shows pin J2-32 with a Purple/White wire which feeds the coil and the injectors. Also has 2 relays, one main power and the other is fuel pump.

    No HIgh pressure schrader valve Vp GSI ??

    Not a VP guy but I have never seen a shrader valve on a motor with TBI, only MPI. You would need to use a fitting like the Merc 91-806901

    5.0 surge and stop, fuel or spark or what?

    When it starts to stumble look down the throat of the carb and see if its flooding (probably isn't just checking). If not flooding I would suggest putting a fuel pressure gauge connected at the carb. Need to make up a Tee fitting with connectors and fuel line, or use a adapter fitting and...

    Trouble Code 0336 with new motor

    I'm thinking you may have just found your problem. Won't get to excited yet, but a man overboard safety switch should kill the motor, and the only way to do that is remove power to the coil (in most cases). I'm a Merc guy and not VP, but this is pretty simple stuff to do, so thinking they...

    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 EFI fuel leak

    It will be a pain. The bracket that holds the entire cool fuel is bolted to the motor mount. There are two nuts one on each side. Remove the hoses. The fuel lines need to be removed from the pump, and the cooler. The pump end is threaded, the cooler end has a socket head screw pin (item 9) which...

    Signs of a failing Oil Pressure Switch

    I think you have either a key switch that is not making a positive connection, a 10 pin connector with connection issues and /or in conjunction with a oil pressure switch that is intermittently making connection. The oil pressure switch passes 12V and the ground is always there.

    Changed 2012 Volvo 5.0 to 5.7 will not idle

    Contacted Bob myself to get the low down so if anyone else passes by the thread they can read. He says the EGC's are made by E-controls and he knows of no one which works on them. The market is small so until it increases folks won't get into them as yet. Guess the answer to your issue is you...
