Hi all,
I have a bizarre thing happening with my 08 mercruiser MPI 5.0l. It will start perfect first time but then won't restart. It is doing some really weird things in the driveway as some days it will start 5 times in a row with no issue and the very next day it will start once and then not start again.
My fault finding to date has consisted of:
-checking both batteries which have been tested and are perfect
-voltage through the ignition fuse if fine no leakage and starts with over 10V although I haven't been able to test the voltage when it won't start yet.
-I have replaced the distributor and rotor which was in very poor condition completely covered in corrosion.
I have no other ideas of what could be wrong as some days in the driveway with the muffs on with the water on it starts perfectly over and over again and it won't cause the non-starting issue and other days it will start once and then won't start again.
I'm really confused on what could be going on here and my mechanic has no idea either.
Any ideas?
