    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    Yes, I tried tapping, removing every connection, cleaned all fittings, even removed power supply box. I found what looked like a tip of a screw protruding through the back side of it and looked like it was against the metal frame which holds it to the engine. Ground it off and covered it. I have...

    I pulled the 10A fuel pump fuse. Engine will start with quick switching the key, but still fails to start when I delay in the on position of the key. When I went to buy the boat, a couple of weeks ago. This fuse was blow as we tried to start it. I replace the fuse and it started right up then...

    Yes, i read everything you sent. Tomorrow, I will search and check the power relay. I think I may have seen it under the ECU when I lifted it up looking around last week.

    That main power relay looks suspicious. Do you know where it is located at?

    Thanks again. I'm not giving up yet. Doesn't seem like something would get hot in 2 sec. to shut down ignition ; but I guess that is possible. I haven't investigated the key switch itself yet. Perhaps I can find the 'inbound + power to the switch" and see if is dead when the shut down occurs? I...

    I'll review what you have suggested. I believe I've registered ok, but I'll check that also. Remember, my ignition times out when I leave the key on, so I don't know if that effects anything with the diagnostic hook up?

    What is the T&T you are referring to? I purchased the diagnotic tool and now can not get connection between ECM out let plug and my computer. I do have the dio system downloaded ok.

    OK, I got the diagnostic adapter with out bootstrap. I uploaded the progam into my laptop ok. followed start up procedure several times and can not connect between ecm and computer. I get the message no connection, check key or check cable. Made several attempts at that. NO luck. Any help would...

    Thank you. I will get one. What do you mean by CPU logic? Are your revering to the ECM Also engine seems to wind up past 1200. Sounds more like 3500 plus. probably more. So I guess that it is not in safe mode?

    Thanks again Crosbyman. When I have the failure, I still have trim up and down. It only seems to effect the ignition and starter. I can jump the starter solenoid when failure happens and starter will engage, but no ignition.

    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    I've checked the PDB. All fuses, solder, relays. My wife could feel the the ignition/stop relay fail as I left the key in on position. It would click on at first and click off a moment later with a no starter result. As suggested to me I'm trying to find out if the oil sensor should be open or...

    Should my oil sensor read open or closed with an ohms check with engine off and then started up?

    Thanks Crosbyman. Yes, that is what I'm trying to do. I have checked the water temps and they all appear to be cool. (around 135-150 F on a water hose) I did not check the temp at the ECM, so I'll do that today. It seems strange that the ignition and starter loose power only if I leave the key...

    2000 E150FPXSSM LOOSES IGNITION ON START UP

    I know this has been brought up before but here is my problem. After cleaning all the terminals (even the ones under the Ecm, and all the connections and changing the fuel filter this problem occurs. Alarm horn goes to steady blast if I hesitate on the on position with the key in the control...
