I have a 96 PCM GT-40 and completely out of the blue the motor won't continue running. We were using it before lunch, parked it at the dock to clean before putting in the lift, wouldn't start.
The engine cranks, fires, revs briefly (if I pull the trans button and push the throttle), but dies in less than a second like the gas was cut. Visually my tank is over half full (the float is sticky so I don't trust the gauge cold) so I know I have gas.
I am not hearing the fuel pumps spin up when I put the key to the "On" position, and all three of the circuit breakers appear to be on the closed position.
My guess is the relay for the fuel pump - any other thoughts before I start throwing parts at it? |

You can rent a free fuel pressure guage from autozone that will tell you if there is any pressure. You can use an electrical tester to see if the pump is getting any power, you can rule out the relay. |

Did you happen to disturb or remove the safety kill switch when you were cleaning? |

Mike - Thanks for the slap in the face with the blindingly obvious!
At a glance the kill switch looked like it was on, but just a little cock-eyed - but it was enough.
I re-seated it and she fired right up.
I owe you a beer! |

No problem, it happened to me too so don't feel bad. It is not shown in the PCM Service Manual either so I had to do some trouble shooting before it became obvious.
Enjoy your summer!! |
