If you have access to a multimeter you can perform a couple of simple wiring tests . With the battery disconnected and the black /red wire lifted off your fuel pump negative terminal set your meter on OHMs.
Now separate the laser ECU plug in connector . With one meter test lead On pin 2 of the plug with the locking ring (the one going to the engine harness) read the lifted black/red wire going to your fuel pump . Should read low resistance .1 to .3 ohms .
Now read between the large stud that the Positive red battery cable connects to on your motor and the red wire on your fuel pump terminal . again this should be a low ohmic reading .1 - .3 ohms
Next read positive red battery cable to the negative fuel pump terminal where you lifted the black /red wire off of . this will be a higher read due to the resistance of the fuel pump motor windings . 6 ohms +/-
These tests will prove wire continuity of the pump wiring . I found a bad connection on a fuel pump wire a few years ago and had to trim the wire back a little and put a new ring eye terminal on to fix the problem . (broken strands of wire inside insulation )
Inspect the #2 pin contacts in both plugs for burning , corrosion , or bent before Reconnecting the ECU plug and terminate the black/red wire on the fuel pump . Now reconnect the battery for making voltage tests . The red wire on your fuel pump terminal should be "Hot" all of the time .
With meter set to DC "volts" black meter lead to engine ground and red meter lead to red wire on fuel pump terminal meter reading should equal battery voltage .
Now when you turn the key on and fuel pump starts read the voltage across the fuel pump terminals . Since you have previously tested the wires if voltage is still low most likely cause is a bad fuel pump driver in ECU or bad pin contacts on pin 2 of the ECU plug in connectorLast edited by H2Okie; 06-16-2021 at 01:54 PM.

send it to 'em.. bobby v. has run justa 'bout every combination of all tha production ecu's (includin' tha three PM's) on every horsepower (mix n match) and found tha hp rating didn't mean squat.. if they were good they would run on anything.. if they were bad they were BAD....

Tired pump with a solid 12 volt keyed source and still had the 35psi and motor fires 2-3 sec then dies. Next step like Rock said find another ECU 175 HP

Its too lean. How is the enrichner circuit hooked up? To solenoid or to the choke on the key?
Also, ohm the head temp sender and the IAT...if either of those is bad it will not start right cold. Check those prior to getting a new ECU...

It sounds like when you're turning the motor over with the Key it "starts" , you let go of the key and then it stops ? Is the +12 v purple wire staying hot when you go from "start" to "run" with the key sw.? If the purple goes down so does the ECU.
I wonder if your enrichment circuit is working but when you stop cranking the extra fuel stops and so does your motor
If your are not getting enough fuel when starting if you disconnect the manifold air temp sensor it will cause the ECU to increase the fuel delivery by 10%
If you disconnect the TPI the ECU will increase fuel delivery by up 40%
Mercury advises against running an engine with sensors disconnected but say you can do it on a short limited basis to troubleshoot problems
If you try these things and the motor keeps running it definitely was not getting enough fuel . Just remember to connect everything back up

The yellow wire with black strip coming from motor harness is cut and taped up.

With a volt meter, put the meter black on an engine ground and the meter red to the positive side of the pump. Turn the key on and read the voltage as the pump is running.... it will run only a couple seconds or so. If the voltage is low, check the fuel pump fuse contacts for corrosion. You can also ohm out the wire from the pump to the positive terminal where the battery cable hooks to the engine as said earlier. Should be real close to 0 ohms. If the voltage is good, remove the negative wire from the fuel pump and put a jumper wire from the negative terminal on the fuel pump to an engine ground and check the voltage across the terminals on the pump with the pump running. Do this with a fuel pressure gauge hooked up. Voltage should be at least 11 volts or more. If the voltage is lower, most likely a failing pump. If voltage and pressure are good, then fuel pump circuit in computer or the wire from the pump to the computer has a problem. Again, you can ohm out the wire and it should be close to 0 ohms.
I have seen wires that ohm out alright, but can't handle the amperage and drops voltage.... so be aware of that."One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors". Plato .

Might have found the issue hold off for now... Thanks

Yeah haven't had a chance to look and test yet, but keep us updated. Especially if you find an issue that is not the ECU!

Ok got it fixed and running and idling normal..
The problem was.... Ready for it..!!
Dam water in the fuel so when I primed the fuel system for the first time (New motor for this boat) it primed the vst and water separator filter with a very high% of H20 and of course wouldn't fire correctly. I learned this by looking at the plugs to see if they were getting gas nope they had clear H20 mostly on them, I then drained a little fuel from the vst drain plug into a clear cup and omg looked like piss or beer.. I've since drained everything and replaced the fuel/ H20 separator filter and drained gas tank and replaced with new gas/oil mixture and bam !! Running like a beast..Last edited by Keaten; 06-22-2021 at 06:22 PM.
