    5.7GXI-A won’t shut down with key (it’s not dieseling, it just runs) Need Guidance!

    VP used the mando ALT for the A and note the jumper. You would need to get yours rebuilt or replaced. Before doing either, do check how much the ALT is putting out when running, it should be close to 14.5V Later models they changed the wiring so this won't happen.

    350 MAG MPI died underway, won't start back up. No Alarm/Code?

    If the muffler went into the intake it will do no harm, its a piece of foam and will just burn up and go out the exhaust. With a backfire, need to check timing

    Pesky little varmints. Watched it for about and hour, just set there looking around. Got down a couple times but only to go closer to the house (out of sight), then would come back to the same spot. Going to get a different vantage spot

    Mercruiser 3.0 early to mid 1980s - Another No Spark

    Its not the coil The purple wire coming from the choke is a resistance wire and feeds the coil when the key is ON (engine running). The yellow/purple should come from the outside terminal on the starter solenoid. This wire supplies a full 12V to the coil when starting Did you replace the...

    Drive Ratio

    Just realized this is a VP, so instead of a slave solenoid, you have an assist relay. Probably easiest way is to remove the relay and jump across pins 30 and 87
