I have a 1999 70 hp 4 stroke that cranks but will not fire. The engine light is giving code 14 witch indicates temp sensor. The manuel is giving the resistance values for the temp sensor but on an ohm's meter we are getting an OL reading. This should indicate the temp sensor is reading as overheated thereby preventing it from firing. However we had 2 other sensor's on hand so we checked them also and it gave the same OL value.<br /><br />The mechanic I was working with is not certified thefore does not have the computer. Tomorrow or monday I am going to have diagnostics run to see if we can pinpoint the problem but my question is...It seems like really long odd's that we would have three bad temp sensor's or did we misread what our reading should have been?<br /><br />This blows BIG TIME! I had 5 guy's supposed to be at my place at 6 am for a fishing trip we have been planning for week's. I have owned the boat for three years and she has ALWAYS without fail started! Since we are driving 4 hours to go fishing I decided to just make sure it would start....GRRRRRRR!
