Totally different motor but I had a Corroded Fuse that caused that. Find the fuse that controls that and wiggle it with the key on next time it does it.

Well, I figured out why I had no beep (would crank but not fire off).
Ended up being a loose spade connector on the S kill switch. I pulled dash off and traced wire from kill switch and still didn't beep. So I took key panel off again and started playing with connections behind kill switch. AND there it was. I recrimped the connectors and she's good!

NOW, I figured it out!! The D$mn switch!!!! Worked some times and works perfect others. Only found it bc I was playing with the key when it didn't buz and then it buzzed while playing with key.

POST # 26 the engine serial provided by OP has the VST fuel system. the engine is listed as 1996.
At first he reported a 1998 engine as in 1998 there was no VST fuel system for those year models. Hope this helps whomever. IMO might be best someone refer you to a Mercruiser trained mechanic and or shop with a trusted name. No offense to you. Good luck

If it is vapor lock, then try doing a search either here on OSO in the upper right hand corner of each sub-forum page (or google online) for vapor lock Mercuiser 454/502 Mag MPI as there's lot's of info for this issue. One trick of many is sending the fuel return line back to the fuel tank vs back to the water separating fuel filter adapter housing from OEM stock.
Hope this helps, good luck.
