Mercruiser Ignition Sensor.
by John from Mashpee, Massachusetts on December 11, 2015
No Spark, TBI injector not firing. If you got a MEFI3 look in your distributor under rotor for the problem. These little modules provide the timing signal for the ECM to trigger the coil and fire the fuel injectors. Mercury has a service bulletin out on these: 2000-14 anf 200014R1. This replacement from Sierra did the trick!. Engine fired right up runs great.
