2002 ski nautique

1. Put the can of starting fluid down!

2. As soon as you put power to the keypad, you should hear the relay activate the fuel pump. If you don’t hear it, it’s a bad relay. NAPA usually has them. It’s a quick change. Get a couple extra and keep on the boat. Those relays are a high failure item. Those relays are located on the back of the motor next the ECU.

Yes, they are clicking and the fuel pump is kicking on... any other suggestions?

Hmmmm...I didn't go back through the entire thread, but has the boat been running since you got it?

Lawnmower on its last leg, thats what the starting fluid is for. The boat had been sitting for about 7 years.

I siphoned all the gas out and put 15 gallons of 100% gas in it.

Changed the oil and filter

Cleaned the cap, rotor, and plugs

Drained the full element

And checked the relays and kill switch

And I am getting spark at the plug

Pumps were running, still wouldn't fire though. The spark did not look very strong when I checked it. Is it likely that the spark is not strong enough to ignite fuel but is enough to ignite the starting fluid?

Ok, I will get a tester today. Does anyone have the part numbers for car, rotor, wires, and plugs for 2002 ski with 5.8 GT40?

Ok, so I have replaced cap and rotor, and plugs. Im getting 39-40 PSI from Schrader valve, getting spark, and still this thing won't fire. Not really sure what else to check. I pulled the HP pump filter off and there was only a little gas in the bottom of it, so I cleaned it out and filled it with gas, then put it back on, thats when I got 40 psi... you think the LP pump is bad even though I can feel it running? That is what fills the HP correct? Even if it was bad, shouldn't the motor have at least fired until the HP ran out of fuel?

Hey, why don't you take the injectors out and clean them and see if it starts 

Quick question, can I use the Napa fuel pump thats like 60 bucks or do I have to buy the 260 dollar one from nautique? There is a Carter fuel pump on Amazon that looks familiar for like 56, just want to know if anyone has tried it for the low side pump.

P 4389 might be a better choice but it has no plug, I’ll have to look but somewhere I have the plugs part number as well. I have one on a gt40 but it has not been run yet

I? Old one is working, for some reason it's not pulling gas from the tank, but when I kick it on with the hose unhooked I can feel it sucking.

Well you could or you could just hard wire it-thats what my dealer did on my 95. Let me find the number on the plug you can probably order one when you order the pump. That way it would look factory if you want.

Since yours was sitting for awhile and the injectors clogged you could try taking it apart and see if you can fix it not really complicated,those little vanes get stuck in their grooves,here is the service bulletin-

I thought it was over too, but apparently when I pulled the HP canister off, cleaned it, and filled cannister with gas it ran... until that HP canister ran out of fuel. I can see 3 lines and an electric part going in to the top of the tank through the trunk. Cant figure out how to pull them out of the tank though? This boat is becoming a big headache.

Both pumps are working, I ran the boat from a 5 gallon tank, it continued running 15 minutes after the tank was empty. After the tank emptied I hooked up the main fuel supply line while the boat was still running and it ran out of gas. Also my gas Guage is stuck on "E", even though there is at least 15 gallons in it. Could that affect anything? Should I start a new thread? Or just continue on this one? There is a ton of information here.
