Questions and answers
Engine spins over but no spark to the spark plugs. i have replaced the crank and cam sensors
Possible causes for a MerCruiser 496 MAG engine spinning over without spark after replacing the crank and cam sensors include:
1. Faulty or Incorrect Sensor Installation – Ensure the crank and cam sensors are properly installed and connected.
2. Blown Fuse or Open Circuit Breaker – Check and replace any blown fuses or reset circuit breakers.
3. Loose or Corroded Electrical Connections – Inspect and clean all wiring connections, especially around the ignition system.
4. Bad Battery or Low Voltage – Test the battery and charge or replace if necessary.
5. Lanyard Stop Switch Activated – Ensure the lanyard stop switch is properly engaged.
6. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) Issues – A malfunctioning PCM could prevent spark delivery.
7. Guardian System Activation – If the engine detected a fault, it may have limited ignition function for protection.
If none of these resolve the issue, consulting a Mercury MerCruiser dealer for diagnostics is recommended.
