    2006 Mercruiser 4.3 oil sensor alarm

    Will suggest with key ON, motor not running use a voltmeter on the water pressure switch or oil pressure switch and see if the 5V reference voltage is at 5V. The sensors have 3 wires (5V Ref, Ground, sensor). Reason to measure is to find out if the 5V Ref is being pulled down lower then 5 If...

    4,3Gi different fuel pressure?

    Just a thought We really need more info on the issue. Things like does your fuel pressure stay at 11psi as the motor increases RPM thru to WOT? If it does then its probably injectors, if it doesn't then it's in the fuel supply. You could remove the TBI and change to a carb. Cheaper fix and...

    4,3Gi different fuel pressure?

    This probably won't help, but Merc 4.3 used 852956A1 injectors for all models but also was at 30 psi And those cross reference to Mallory 9-33106 Standard TJ17 - Sierra 18-7685

    4,3Gi different fuel pressure?

    Guess to answer the question of why its only 11psi, is we would have to say is that's how it was designed. The injectors used in most cases as to what pressure limits.

    Mercruiser 7.4 Oil Pressure Alarm Goes Off Randomly?

    Don't know which 7.4 you have but yes your motor probably has 2 sensors. One is a sensor for the gauge, and the other is a switch for the alarm. Same can go for the Temp gauge and switch. The drive lube bottle can also cause the alarm to turn on. Many times it is the lube bottle. Next...
