Hey guys,
I've got the Indmar 320 Assault engine in my '03 SSV, and I'm having a issue getting it to fire off when the engine is cold. It cranks strong, but takes 2-3 sets of 7 seconds cranking before it'll come to life. Once it's running it runs and restarts pretty well. I do notice it surges up a little bit at idle, maybe once every 2-3 minutes it'll go from idling at ~800rpm and jump to ~1100, but it's not so noticeable.
My original thought was spark plugs, distributor cap & rotor. No luck. Replaced the temp sensor for the ECM and the idle air control valve. Still no luck. Replaced the fuel/water separator and checked fuel pressure at the TBI rail -- 30 psi. Any ideas on where to go from here?
Appreciate any help. I've been lurking around here a bunch, searching for someone with symptoms similar to mine and most of our boats seem to develop problems starting hot due to vapor lock, not cold.
