Been on the water a couple times now with this new to me 2017 z1, it starts fine then after a little bit I turn it off for swimming and it won’t fire back up. The fuel pump makes no noise when this happens. I tried swapping the two relays that are similar, ones labeled fuel pump, and no dice. Today I just kept it running after a hard start until we were ready to take it out. I got it home and after sitting for a bit the fuel pump primed fine and it fired right up. What is this most likely going to be? I’ve read there’s several parts to these fuel pumps but I can’t find much more in depth info. Here’s a pic of the regulator(?), could that be going out intermittently or would it be something else? Thanks

It also threw a pressure less than expected code -

ipm983 today I hooked up the hose and ran her, fired up but died within 5 seconds a few times in a row. Then I disconnected and reseated that cable from the opposite end and it started up and stayed running just fine. Looking like that may be my issue as well. Pretty crazy this is the newest boat I’ve owned and never had such silly issues on my older bow riders. Thank you so much for your help hopefully this solves itComment

Haven’t gotten the new wire yet. Went out yesterday and the boat stalled twice and two times it hesitated while under power. Not too sure if that’s symptoms of a wire going bad. It’s $80 shipped which a little high for something that might not even fix it. Dealer said they’ve had 3 cases of the wire needing replacement on tigesComment

I’ve had very similar problems on mine the last couple of weekends. Went into limp mode, throwing a code for fuel pressure, I had enough replaced the fuel pump(which included the regulator), pressure sensor, and filter. It ran fine until I hit a storm the following weekend, during the crazy rough ride back to camp it would just go from running fine to 0 RPM, probably close to a dozen times, which it also threw the same code as yours, but didn’t go into limp. That same wire, to the pump, was stretched kind of tight, so I added about a foot to those wires, rerouted it, and it ran perfect all weekend. My thought was that rough ride was pulling on the plug to the fuel pump, and losing contact. Fingers crossed it’s good now, I’m kind of out of options otherwise.

Zackdogg thats terrible man, sounds worse than mine but same stuff. Keep this thread updated please. The reason I doubt it’s the wire is because I ran my boat off the hose and disconnected the wire myself to see what happens and it’s not a sudden cut of the motor, it’s a more gradual stall that doesn’t happen right away. My wire also already has plenty of slack. I ordered the new one anyways. If it continues I’ll let the dealer figure it out since the weather here in New England is pretty terrible for the month of August it’s looking like.Comment

ipm983 my dealer said they don’t replace the wire they just use napa part #EC113 so if anything they seem to think these issues come down to the connector. I opted to get the whole wire from your link. Will be here tomorrow. I wana replace the fuel filter too before going back out.Comment

Also a sudden loss of power while throttled up doesn’t seem like something that would stem from a bad fuel pump connection since that does give a more gradual loss of power not a sudden oneComment

I had a very similar issue on 2011 Z1 and was finally able to trace down to a rusted fuel filter that would move enough to start sucking in air instead of fuel when I went to throttle up. I replaced this with a plastic filter for $7.00 from Orielys and have been good ever since.Comment

I had the thought that instantly dying should be spark, not fuel. The 2 reasons I thought it may have been fuel were I was in a gnarly storm, so maybe it sputtered or something, and I just couldn’t hear it, I only noticed when it actually died, I can’t say for sure on that, but it did seem to die instantly. 2nd it did throw a code for fuel pressure less than normal, or something close to that, making me think it was fuel. At the same time, I took probably close to 10 waves over the front, while the boat was filling with rain, something could have gotten wet that I don’t want wet, and did who knows what to something. I do know that I lengthened those wires, and it hasn’t done it since, but I also haven’t been caught in those kind of conditions, and hopefully don’t for awhile, so I may never know what caused it, or if it’s coming back.

I replaced the wire on the fuel pump with the indmar factory one $80 shipped seemed steep, but I’ve only been on one voyage since August weather seems like fall here, and I had zero issues. It actually ran and idled much better than before. Fingers crossed it stays that way, trying to get on the water a couple more times at leastComment

Unfortunately this is now back, first ride out today and the fuel pump only primes intermittentlyComment
