Wondering, is this one of those Apex PCM Chevies?
That would be a little bit different from the usual, they are pretty rare. This page has a pic of one towards the top right: http://www.mbbw.com/engines/pcm.htm |

If your distributor is an HEI unit with integrated coil, then you won't find an external coil or resistor. Assuming a non HEI distributor, find the coil and locate the + input. Trace the wire back to the ballast resistor. Not all applications run a ballast resistor, but most do.

Hi Jonny Quest, Cannot locate the resistor. Do you think my 96 with EFI has one? I remember my 89 had one. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
Thanks |

Thanks,I will check those items. Cap,wires and plugs new this year. I'm wondering if the coil gets hot and does not put out enough volts for spark.

I would check the following:
- VOM to check 12V to ballast resistor - wires to coil and ballast resistor - coil wire to distributor - Distributor cap & rotor Heat and moisture can play havoc on electrical connections. JQ |

96 Nautique PCM 5.7. This is the 1st full season with this boat. It's always started and ran fine. Yesterday after running the boat on and off for a couple of hrs. I was idling at the dock
and the motor stopped. Would not restart. Checked a plug wire no spark. Checked for loose connections,found none. The boat sat for maybe 10-15min. Started and ran fine.?????? Thanks |
