04 90 hp merc.<br />the problem is that when at idle the engine will spit back thru exhaust (like a cough sound )and then the engine dies,it only does this at idle and runs great any other time,it also isnt a cold issue,,,even after running awhile it will stil die the minute i go into nuetral (with a cough)kinda like a backfire in a car without the bang,,,,,LOL<br />thanx in advance for any help

Some times a sneeze is caused by a lean condition.Could be accompanied by a stall.

do a sync and link...be sure to set your idle rpm to 600-650 in the water in gear
