Like the title states I have a 2007 Merc that wont start.
It started fine when I took it out of storage and connected to the hose and is idle for a good 45 min. I decide to head to the boat ramp to finally put it in the water for the summer. At the ramp it started up, I was able to reverse and then when I put in the forward it started to run rough and quit. It never wanted to start up again.
I thought it was the plugs, so I ordered new ones and replaced them. Still just cranks, no sputter no nothing.
I checked the fuel pressure on the high pressure side and I get 50psi at the fuel rail when cranking.
I checked all the fuses( that I could see), and breakers and all is good well there.
I get a chirp(like I always did) when I turn the key to ON.
Oil is new and up to level.
Water pump works.
Gas was stabilized during winter( seems ok since it ran in the driveway.)
a New fuel pump assembly was put in two summers ago.(2014)
all new lines from the fuel tank to the fuel rail was also installed in 2014.
Battery seems to be good. I killed it once, but its charged back up now.
I'm getting a hand tonight to test the spark, and if the cylinders are getting fuel.
any pointers as to where to start looking, something tells me the injectors are not shooting, as if the boat is in a safe mode.
I'm at a lost.
Thanks.
