7/16/23 My 2014 Mercrusier 350 Mag ECT fuel injection engine shits down after say an hour of perfectly good running. It sputters a couple of times, pops then fails to crank. The engine turns over but there appears to be no spark. Sometimes after a run and sitting idle for a while, it just fails to start. Once it sits for say an hour, it cranks and runs fine.

It has been hooked up to a computerwith no error code showing. My Mercrusier Mechanic states he must be present with the motor shuts down or will not start.

My next move is to install a new crank position sensor. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Most likely a electrical issue.

Are you in fresh or salt water?

Don't throw parts at it you can induce other problems. If it was the CPS then there would be a code.

Failing to crank can be neutral safety switch or key switch

Cranking and not starting can be key switch, or bad connection, fuel or spark

Check the battery connects both ends for clean and shinny metal.
