Hi all,
I am new to the forum. I have a 2001 Crownline BR with a 350 Mag direct fuel injection engine, Alpha drive. The engine has run perfectly through the years and never a problem until this year on my first day out on the lake. After a 30 min cruise at 2500 - 2800 rpm I shut it down for a couple of hours to float and swim. It restarted normally then acted like it ran out of fuel. The boat came up on plane and then just died. The engine would re-start and idle for a few seconds and stall. Eventually, it would not start. I removed the water seperating fuel filter and it was only half full so I am sure it is a fuel delivery problem. After sitting 24 hours the engine starts and runs perfectly. I borrowed a diagnostic tester from my local marina and no codes. The elec. fuel pump cycles 3 seconds after the key is turned on. I no longer trust the engine until I can get this problem figured out. Any suggestions?
