Hi all, I'm running out of ideas on a 2002 MerCruiser 5.7 MPI with ECM 555.
It has a crank no start condition and so far I have checked the spark - good jumps 1/2 gap, checked the fuel pressure good at 40 PSI, injectors are firing.
A scan shows no codes and the temp and map are good. I did notice a 0 RPM showing when I crank the engine over and I'm puzzled by this. If I disconnect the crank position sensor I get no spark so it looks like it is working and the ECM is getting the signal but why no RPM on the scan tool when cranking?
The engine will kick from time to time when cranking and I have had a few backfires. It also seems like it is firing out of order as it kicks back sometimes. Sounds just like it has some crossed spark plug wires but they check ok.
Thinking the engine might be flooded I pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked the engine at WOT and still no go.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Dale
