    whats the deal with my motor

    I've got an 08 250 pro xs and in the last two years I've had multiple coil failures, something happen to the fuse block and it was replaced, my compressor went out a few months ago and last weekend my pcm crashed. Did I just get a piece of junk or has anyone else had this much trouble with their engines?

    Did you get an indication of precisely WHAT in your PCM went out?

    The dealer didnt tell me exactly what went out, they just said that the motor wasnt getting spark on any of the cylinders and there is some type of bulletin that has been sent out about the PCM.

    Probably going to need some more information to be of any assistance. Feel free to give me a call.

    Some are, some aren't. Racing division would have a "separate" bulletin for anything that applies to their engines.
