    Question 98 175 Fastsrike Fitch NO spark

    Have a 98' 175 Fitch that was running at idle and just died in the lake and would not restart. It has no spark . So 2 things, 1st being is that I have seen where apparently you can order software and a plug for this motor, Can anyone point me to where I can get this for this motor? The 2nd from what limited troubleshooting that has been done it seems to point to the EMM. BUt my main thought is that I do want to buy the software and plug for this motor. It's one of those for better or for worse it's stuck with my friend and he is stuck with it... Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    Did it have a check engine light? Most likely its the ignition module if you did not get the light.

    This motor that is put on an older hull, so it doesn't have a digital dash or anything like that.

    They are $20 on ebay get a small systems check gauge. The computer cable and program is cheap on ebay also but you will have to run it in demonstration mode since you have no dealer number. The program will still read the EMM and show you any trouble codes.

    Ive gotten in the software from Ebay, but I can't seem to get the serial port configured correctly. Any suggestions on where I could come across these settings? so far I cant find them from the software. BTW It's EVDiagnostic with a seperate dos program for the Ficht

    Get a serial to USB adapter from best buy or something. That is the old program the newer one is windows based and works much better but that DOS program should still work with your motor.
