    ECM for 1999 Mercruiser MCM 5.0L EFI / 305 CID

    Mercury Marine EPC (electronic parts catalog) shows this engine to have MEFI3 but it could have been updated to MEFI4 because MEFI3 has been NLA (no longer available) for a long time, MEFI4 is also NLA for many years.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

Now I recommend that you repair the wiring to the key switch, The screws that you used won't stay tight ---- the thread pitch is too wide ----- When those wires get loose you risk voltage drops and spikes. This is the main killer of...

    Unknown Short Circuit

    That's the blocking diode. If the diode is shorted internally, the engine will continue to run after the key is turned off.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    Every Volvo dealer I've worked for has been willing to print a copy for someone who walks through our door. None of them would be willing to transmit it electronically. we sign an agreement to not do that. I'm guessing if you ordered the manuals from Volvo they would include a copy. Might want...

    Magnum or No?

    Decals and ECMs are just a couple of examples of engine manufacturers setting higher prices for basically the same product, based only on how much that product sold for originally.

    Magnum or No?

    Magnum was more of a marketing term and didn't really mean much depending on years.
