  • Page 70: Theory Of Operation

    IGNITION Theory of Operation When the ignition key switch is turned to the “RUN” position, battery voltage is applied to both the Electronic Control Module (ECM) through the purple wire and the main power relay through the red/purple wire. As the ECM receives the “RUN” signal, it internally com- pletes the ground circuit of the main relay, for a short period of time, energizing the fuel pump for start-up.
  • Page 71: Ignition Component Description

    IGNITION Ignition Component Description Fuses The electrical wiring circuits on the outboard are protected from overload by fuses in the wiring. If a fuse is blown, try to locate and correct the cause of the overload. If the cause is not found, the fuse may blow again. 1.
  • Page 72: Charging System Alternator

    IGNITION Charging System Alternator Battery charging system, including the regulator, is contained within the belt driven alter- nator. At cranking speeds, electrical power for the engine is provided by the boat battery – minimum recommended size is 490 Cold Cranking Amperes (CCA) or 630 Marine Cranking Amperes (MCA).
  • Page 73: Electronic Control Module

    IGNITION Electronic Control Module (ECM) The ECM requires 8 VDC minimum to operate. If the ECM should fail, the engine will stop running. The inputs to the ECM can be monitored and tested by the Digital Diagnostic Terminal 91-823686A2 using adaptor harness 84-822560A5. The ECM performs the following functions: Calculates the precise fuel and ignition timing requirements based on engine speed, throttle position, manifold pressure and coolant temperature.
  • Page 74: Flywheel

    IGNITION Flywheel Flywheel has 54 teeth under the flywheel ring gear which the crank position sensor uses to provide engine rpm and crankshaft position information the ECM. 59070 Flywheel Crank Position Sensor Crank Position Sensor Crank Position Sensor monitors 54 teeth on flywheel, thus determining crankshaft posi- tion, and sends crankshaft position angle and engine speed signals to ECM.
  • Page 75: Throttle Position Sensor (Tps)

    IGNITION Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) The TPS transmits throttle angle information to the ECM which varies the injector pulse width accordingly. Should the sensor fail, the warning horn will sound. RPM will be re- duced by the ECM. TPS settings are not adjustable. TPS settings can be monitored with the Digital Diagnostic Terminal through the ECM.
  • Page 76: Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor

    IGNITION Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor Two (2) temperature sensors are used to provide temperature information to the ECM. One sensor is mounted in each cylinder head. The ECM uses this information to increase injector pulse width for cold starts and to retard timing in the event of an over-heat condition.
  • Page 77: Port And Starboard Temperature Sensors; Air Temperature Sensor

    IGNITION Port and Starboard Temperature Sensors; Air Temperature Sensor An ohms test of the temperature sensors would be as follows: Disconnect temperature sensor harness and check continuity with digital or analog ohm- meter test leads between both connector pins. With engine at temperature (F ) indicated, ohm readings should be as indicated 10%.
  • Page 78: Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map) Sensor

    IGNITION Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor The MAP sensor is located on top of the air plenum. The ECM regulates fuel flow, in part, based on manifold absolute pressure. The MAP sensor becomes more critical in engine running quality as the engine is operated at higher altitudes (i.e. mountain lakes). Should the MAP sensor fail, the ECM will default to a value of approximately 14.7 psi.

  • Page 223: Fuel Pump Description/Operation

    FUEL PUMP Fuel Pump Description/Operation The fuel pump is a crankcase-pressure-operated, diaphragm-type pump. Crankcase pul- sating pressure (created by the up-and-down movement of piston) is transferred to fuel pump by way of a passage (hole) between crankcase and fuel pump. When piston is in an upward motion, a vacuum is created in the crankcase, thus pulling in on the fuel pump diaphragm.

  • Page 307: Oxides Of Nitrogen - Nox

    EMISSIONS Oxides of Nitrogen - NOx NOx is a slightly different byproduct of combustion. Nitrogen is one of the elements that makes up the air going into the engine. Under extremely high temperatures it combines with oxygen to form oxides of nitrogen (NOx). This happens in the engine’s combustion chambers when temperatures are too high.
  • Page 308: Stratified Vs Homogenized Charge

    EMISSIONS Stratified vs Homogenized Charge At certain operating conditions, DFI engines use a stratified charge inside the combustion chamber to aid in reducing emissions. All other models exclusively use a homogenized charge. The difference between the two is: Homogenized Charge A homogenized charge has the fuel/air particles mixed evenly throughout the cylinder.
  • Page 309: Stratified Charge

    EMISSIONS Stratified Charge A stratified charge engine only pulls air through the transfer system. The fuel required for combustion is forced into the cylinder through an injector placed in the top of the cylinder (head). The injector sprays a fuel/air mixture in the form of a fuel cloud into the cylinder. Surrounding this cloud is air supplied by the transfer system.
