I have a 1996 nautique with a PCM 5.8. It has been sitting for 2 years now, and my issues is that it will start run strong for 2 secs then die, i cleaned the fuel filter, sounds like the fuel pump is running, never tested no pressure yet. I changed the plugs as well. I noticed that there is a full tank of fuel, but i can't imagine it would be fuel condition as it run strong for that second. Should i just try changing fuel pumps? thanks
 
electric pump? if so, check the oil pressure switch in the electrical supply line going to the pump.

throwing parts at an engine really isn't the way to fix it...troubleshoot, repair and then verify.

BTW, Welcome to ME.com!
 
For the electric fuel pump in the fuel cell, can i just connect 12 volts right to the pump, that should let me no if the issue is the fuel pump or voltage to the fuel pump? I will also rig up a pressure line to make sure that i stay within spec and not droping after the engine starts
