Recently after experiencing some engine trouble with my 99 ficht 200 I popped the cover off to get at my water seperating filter and put new plugs in.
After removing the filter I noticed a plastic male electrical plug end and wire in the bottom of the housing, still attached at one end. So i rooted around through the wiring and sure enough, found the female end.
Decided to look on the other side of the engine and guess what I found....another male plug end unplugged. and sure enough found the female end.
My questions are
1. should I be nervous that the last time I had the boat serviced they fouled up? are there times and instances when the wires should be left unplugged?
2. Should I plug them back together? will it run better without them or leave it alone.
3. Could this have caused my check engine light to come on in the first place? I have put about 25 hours on the boat since its last service and only had the light come on recently for the first time.
I am tempted to plug them back together and see how it runs after putting the new spark plugs in
