Just on the off chance I drove to a used boat yard nearby. Had a really good conversation with owner and her mechanic. They are not like several boat yards near me where they thumb their collective noses at you if you do not have $100K to drop on a new boat! Upshot is that in two weeks I will...

No luck at all. After connecting those wires the engine now turns over but no initial TBI spray. Connecting the diagnostic software will not connect even tho it has the correct port as I discovered how to do that. So back to my plan to try and sell at a big discount and if that fails I will junk...

What I am hoping is that my diagnostic software will now work. Pouring with rain today so will have to wait.

So in testing the 50 amp breaker I discovered that sometimes it worked and mostly did not. Was open most of the time by the look of it. So have another on order. Probably will not solve my issue but does explain why some wires were hot and then not.

Will get back at it today.

One thing that does concern me is the fact that the wires going into the two ECM connectors seem quite loose.

I removed the tape looking for breaks and joins. Where do you see the burnt wire and the clipped wire?

The blue tape on one of the splices is where I looked at the splice. No corrosion at all. If there is a particular area of wires you want me to take a picture of I will of course do that. I did not get any voltage at the MAP sensor socket at all with ignition on.

Very frustrating in not being able to tell the scan software what port the cable is plugged into on the laptop. I have tried plugging it into all available laptop ports!!! Still no joy. About to look at MAP sensor wiring. Also will try and solve why the engine will not torn over now when it was...

Busy bleeding the brakes. Will try that if weather allows.

No luck at all with this engine. I cleaned the negative connections to the engine after not getting an earth connection at the alternator. The negative connector on the DCL then worked as it was not before. Running a scan was useless with a steam of failures to connect. That could be because the...

I think you are correct. When I scanned the ecm all I got was a stream of failure to read messages and I bet thats because of no power to the ecm.

Only power to one of the pins. Also the engine does not turn over now whereas it did before.

The major ground connection to the Engine is good. However after installing the ECM I now have no voltage to the fuel pump relay. I did before. All fuses are okay.So one step forward and 2 steps back. I did notice that the reset switch terminals are quite rusty and one of them its difficult to...
