"Just in the past couple of days, I have been having difficulty in turning over my starboard 5.7L EFI Merc. From the control console, I'll depress the start button, get the normal beeps and then the engine will (I hope I can relate the sound somewhat), go ugh. I hit the button again and it will ugh,ugh and still not start. I will do it once or twice more and it will finally turnover. I check the battery voltage and its steady at 13 -13.5 amps. Yesterday I replaced the ignition sensor in the distributor, but on the first attempt to start it, it followed the same sequence as above.
This just came out of nowhere, it was working fine all season, up until this past weekend. Any ideas? Where should I start to troubleshoot? Any help would be really appreciated."
