PLEASE help 502 mag mpi efi dying out after run
New to forums.. Please some info. I on boat now and getting annoyed!
1996 SR1 271 502 mag efi/mpi. New boat for me
I pretty good On cars and most motors and issues but.... Here my prob
Bought boat used know nothing about history.
Starts right up runs great at all rpm's run all day fine... After sitting no matter if twenty mm or two hours fires right back up revs fine take off 25 yards starves out and quits????????
Will refire instantly but can't throttle up. After 8-10 restarts it will
Be fine?????? Changed all filters fluids and cleaned the VST filter?
Seems like a mechanical pump feeds VST mid back of engine? Seems to be fuel related but cannot be 100% sure till
More test... It's just really annoying and making me mad. After it
Re starts it's totally fine runs like new.... And this repeats all
Day long WTF UGHHHHHHHH

i cleaned every ground and battery terminal when i first got it..i am not ruling anything out but hate the guessing game.
thanks so much for fast replies guys..... i tried open enginge hatch everytime... no help..its so so weird ran so good all day i can go full speed or idle around for hours..once i shut off for either 20 min or 2 hr same thing fires right up then can idle or take off fast go about 20yrds and starves out..then back to the 10-12 key starts till it back........ gut feeling with my car knowledge is saying fuel issue.. i dont fully understand the system can someone break it down to me
line goes in by sea pump but its not a mechanical pump like my 454 just looks like round diaphram,,,,then up to vst tank with a float and chamber leacing to pump chamber with filter on bottom...... so the part by the sea pump feeds the vst.... so is that pressure regulated or no? ..
far as the fuel lock i tried taking gas cap off when it was happening and it made no difference..also no problems when filling the tank but not sure if fill vent is related to tank vent when under load?? man i am boggled.. just want to find exactly what it is and fix so i not guessing and doing this when i go out..
gonna try homeade code reader monday afternoon.. also anyone know if codes are stored even when batt switch is off or do i need to reproduce the problem again before pulling codes??? THANKS FOR ANY IMPUT IN ADVANCE!!!

boat ran fine on a full tank of fuel and once the fuel went down to 3/4 and you were on plane it was ok cuz the fuel in the tank covered the crack in the pipe..

When you try to restart the boat, do you hear the fuel pump "prime itself" for 2-3the seconds before starting?
If you have an electrical meter, sitting the battery should read 12, running, it should be 14v. . . M m
