Ok, this motor is in my boat so I can't tell you precisely what year since with boat manufacturers the model year does not always tell you when the engine was built. The boat is a '98 Nautique with a 5.7L Ford/PCM motor, Multiport EFI. Fired it up for the first time this year ... engine starts fine, runs fine for about 1-2 seconds, then cuts off as if you had turned the key off. I tried to read codes off the ECC port ... no luck. Not even sure the port works. This seems like it could be one of any number of ignition part problems. Does not seem like a fuel problem to me but I've never had to debug an EFI fuel problem so. Thought I'd ask out here to see if one of you Ford guys have any ideas or how to start narrowing this down. Thanks,
