    seriously need some experts help on this one, no water exits manifolds

    You have MPI motor and without the motor getting up to temp it will be supplying more fuel then it needs. What that can cause over time to other items in the motor (sensors, excess carbon build up, other stuff) is unknown. Like running a motor with the choke partly closed Might not do...

    Oil pressure gauge wiring

    Yes lights only. so its just a switch connection that the ECM switches a ground ON I don't believe that will work. Found a wiring diagram for a Optimax and its labeled "light". Merc colors try very hard to not mix them into doing different things on another motor That may work because Merc...

    Electrical Issues after replacing trim switch/sensor 7.4 EFI/MPI

    Thanks, MEFI 1 with VST The MEFI 1 is not very smart, but could be a voltage issue. Check with it running to see if your getting 14.5V from the ALT with motor above 1500 or so rpm. Can scan for codes using a 12V resistor LED or multimeter with a tone function. Insert paper clip, turn key ON...

    I Bonds

    The Bonds are high because the Fed rate is up. Buying them doesn't mean folks continue to get the rate, as Fed goes up and down so does do the Bonds. Highest rate savings account is still Marcus at 1.2%, local is still 0.1. Marcus raises rates as the Fed rate goes up and many times in the...

    Motor has 2 different means to power the coil Key in ON/RUN sends 12V thru resistor directly to the coil. Reaches coil with around 9V Key turned to Start sends 12V to starter solenoid. Solenoid energizes and connects power to starter and also sends full 12V bypassing the resistor (Green wire)...
