    Default 1990 4.3 wiring diagram

    Changed motors due to a cracked block, same engine but don't know where a single wire goes, if someone knows where a 4.3 wiring diagram would be, be much help. The color of the wire is solid light blue, it's joined in a sleeve with a white wire with a blue stripe on it, that's connected to the back of the distributor. Boat will not fire. thx for any help.

    Can find those exact colors in this manual. http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Servmanl/18/18E4R2.PDF
    Not used for TBIV base timing mode.purple /white and tan/blue are not used in this manual. Only one I have available
    Do you have 12V at the + side of the coil?
    shift interupt (alpha )
    bad/shorted tach (grey wire)

    In the future Butch, start a new thread of your own, don't hijack someone elses thread for your question.
