"I had an issue last year with one engine that starts fine and idles for several minutes then shuts down. Once I get out on the water I can run at load and the engine runs fine and once the engine is hot it will idle fine. During my research last year I found one of the injectors wasn't firing all the time. noid light confirmed electic signal is fine. I put some fuel system cleaner and after some time the problem did go away. When launched this season everything was fine, I idled up and down the waterway and once out on the lake ran at speed for about 1/2 hour. I haven't been able to use the boat much and now I have the same problem again. Starts fine, runs several minutes then dies, but will run at speed and once hot idles fine. I checked the injectors again today and they are both firing fine. Is it logical to think that one of the sensors is sticking and sending a signal to the ECM to shut down. That's the only thing I can think of why the problem went away last year and is now back again. If that's logical what sensor might it be. I dumped two cans of Sea Foam in the gas and put some directly into the fuel intake on that engine. I plan to go out for about an hour run tomorrow and see if that might clean thigs up, but I would like to know if anyone has had this same problem and what the ultimate issue was. Any suggestions appreciated."
