502 efi issues please help w/ suggestions?
93 502 efi, motor always fires the first time idles fine say putting in @ the ramp or tied up or whatever.... Put it in drive idle out of say an idle zone that's 5 minutes long go to get up on plane starts getting some RPM's & it will just cut out & stall. Go to restart & won't fire, play the waiting game tryin periodically to start it & eventually it fires put it drive & give her some throttle gets on plane runs great the rest of the time?
I'm clueless, when it stalls & won't refire it's like it's not getting fuel & it has done this multiple times? Then randomly turn the key & boom starts & runs fine....

I Had mine do that to me once, it started, idled, then died after a few minutes. I am adding a boost pump tomorrow. do you have the raw water mounted fuel pump or just the one pump?

It probably is vapor lock, with a low pressure system like a carbed engine once it starts it will no longer vapor lock. But in a fuel injection system you can maintain pressure without actual fuel volume (foam basically) and the rails will have too much air in them to allow the engine to run on the very short injection pulse. If you still here the pump prime each time you turn the key on, find the shrader valve on the fuel rail and release some fuel/vapor into a rag. If it comes out in little spurts key on a few times till you get liquid fuel and it should start.
