I’m methodically trying to figure out why my engine has started running rough and down on power. 496 mag/375hp, 625hrs. I’ve replaced the plugs, wires, and now coils. After the coils I think it got a little better but still not 100% and still had recent rough start..I just swapped out the CPS today. Installed one for a 496 from Advanced Auto. I was hoping/expecting it to fire right up..of course not. Cranked, catch, backfired die..backfire was new. Starter would not turn it again as my battery charger wasn’t turned back on after being on hard recently. 12.2v though. I’d have expected it to still turn. I digress..anyone know if it’s OK/NOT OK to use the automotive Crank Sensor? This one was $80..the Mercury is over $300.
