Mercury MX 6.2 cuts out
#21
Registered
To the guy with the 6.2 skipping.Over time the crank position sensor that is mounted right behind the harmonic balancer may get a little too close to the reluctor wheel due to the plastic cover warping a little over time. Take a # 10 washer and place it between the metal bracket and the plastice cover to space it out apx. .020.This fixed some of our 6.2 mercs. hf...

The 6.2 has two main connector/harness. One is a big round plug, power [ black ] that sometimes getting its way out.That's the one you want to put a s/s hoseclamp on tight.The blue cable [ for the ECM555] connector is more secure.

Ok thought I had this issue fixed but.......
I've tightend the battery terminals, connector at starter where the big fuse block is also checked main wiring harness for tight connection along with the 2 plugs on the ECM. I've hooked it up to Diacom software which gives no faults and it still sounds the alarm and the engine stalls for just a sec not enough to kill it, I've noticed today while idling around if I use the trim a lot it wants to do it more often, so I'm pretty sure it's voltage related, Ive replaced battery and the alternator is charging any ideas?? I've got both an ignition and fuel pump relay on order should be here tomorrow to swap and try, I've never noticed it cutting out past 3,800 RPM's only at lower RPM's in the idle to say 2,800 ish.

Change the rotor, or check it with an OHM meter. They are notoriously bad, they loose contact between the stainless steel and brass junction. Big GM problem, most GM car dealerships are aware of the condition as bulletins have been sent to all GM service departments.
