    you can get the EV SW on the web with the necessary connector to analyse pst and current faults . Mind you this issue looks more electrical than a CPU logic issue. good for ETEC and....FICHT link from the ETEC user group...

    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    If they they are identical ( part #) and you know the T&T relays are OK . have you tried taking a T&T relay and swapping it with the failing relay. I doubt the oil sensor is faulty because the engine does run when you get it going. this is why having EV diagnostic software helps...

    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    see old post of what can happen. not saying it is but... in any event when you have a dead condition some voltage testing is in order and that all depends on you trouble shooting skillls.. for example the ignition key receives 12V from the engine and returns it (see PDP...

    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    ok sounds morre like an intermittent issue. any chance the start key is flaky...? It seems strange that the ignition and starter loose power only if I leave the key switch in the on position for a couple of seconds or so. the #67 PDP has a history of solder joint issues (cold solder on the...

    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    without at least getting a dump of the fault codes with EV diagnostic software it is anybodies guess. I certainly would not invest in a new ECM before knowing what is wrong ... it could even be a simple cooling problem in the ECM , or a blockage, oil pressure sensor etc.... if...

    Lower unit filled with grease

    most of those petroleum products should loosen things up . then purge it again a few times refill with gear oil which should remix with any residual grease . dump the oil after few hours and refill.

    When an outboard is "hard to start" what is usually the cause and what is the solution

    could have been just a dirty carb orifice now cleaned up a bit after a good run. Time will tell in any event .. .to be safe ... a new to you engine should be looked over carb wise , then gear oil for contamination (water) ..... impeller change may be in order if the age is...

    Evinrude 8hp lower unit seals

    obviously meant pure water comes out before any OIL & corrected in his post #7 I did miss word it in the end I said water would come out before water the second water should be oil.

    2005 115 Johnson PLSOR: how hot is too hot, and how much clunk is too much?

    140-150 sounds pretty good ... experts here will confirm how old is the impeller ?? here is a typical post-ficht ETEC guide....for a115 ho (v4-v6 engines) IDLE temps with 70° water: Typical temperature at IDLE speed should be 160°F ± 20°F (71°C ± 11°C). Typical temperature displays at WOT...

    1974 Johnson 25 hp backfire issue and other

    Unlikely because the unburnt fuel -oil does not store inside the cyl it gets pushed out the exhaust on the subsequent upstroke and load of fresh fuel oil mix..... at worst ... residual fuel oil in the outgoing down draft of exhaust may be ignited suddenly. Backfire is a result not a cause...

    1974 Johnson 25 hp backfire issue and other

    most folks do not have ultrasonic cleaners or know about them so don't get hung up on this. back fire is propably bad ignition work so focus on all electrical issues. coils, wires, timing etc... the usual stuff.

    Sticking solinoid?

    Question: what are resistive volts and how are they identified? travelling from A to B along a given path volts will drop of proportionnaly to the amount of resistance they face. this is electrical fundamentals discovered by MR. Ohms who wrote the book on today's commonly used...
