Hi all,
I have a 6.2 Mercruiser with DTS & a B3 drive in an '07 260 Sundeck. Raw water cooling with new manifolds & risers last year. We use a non-ethanol fuel. Lots of oil in the crankcase. Engine running just fine, however, occasionally upon start-up it will run 5-10 seconds & cut out. I hear the alarm beep once as it quits. Starts easily initially & then restarts very easily.
Once restarted it runs fine. Stalled once coming into the berth but restarted again quickly.
Mechanic unsure at this point & neither of us are fans of simply throwing parts at it.
I'm thinking a fuel delivery issue but it's a guess.
Is there a plug-in port on the engine we could check for activity on alarms & shutdowns ? Perhaps something similar to a car engine ?
Are there absolute conditions the ECM will see & shut it down ?
Thank You for any help you can offer.
