I have a Mercruiser 3.0LX
Engine Serial #OD 428548
Digital Distributorless Ignition.
At idle it does not miss. When moving at 1500 rpm's can feel the motor miss (sometimes). When giving it more throttle it continues to miss more and gets to about 2000 rpm's and sometimes backfires. If I give it more throttle about 2500 rpm's it dies. Is this an ignition problem and if so where do I start or is this a carburetor problem. Was told this could be a coil problem. If so, is there a way to test the coil? Also told bad was told could be bad wires or bad plugs.
Has new plugs - AC-MR 43LTS. with gap of .035" as called for on top - of the air cleaner.
