I've been dealing with this issue for two seasons now and thought I had it resolved until it happened yesterday morning.
I have twin Volvo Penta 5.7GXi's with just over 700 hours. Both motors run well, burn no oil and perform well. They were last tuned up in 2017 (planning to do that later this year).
The starboard motor always fires right up, the port motor occasionally will die as soon as I release the key. Cranks fine, seems to fire up fine, but dies as soon as I release the key from the start position. It is throwing no codes and all appears to be normal based on the readings from my Fox Marine Gateways. Last year I tried a new IAC, no change. I cleaned the MAP sensor and that seemed to do the trick, until yesterday morning.
For shits and giggles, I tried to start it last night and she fired right up. Same as this morning - fired right up. Any ideas what to check?
It hit me this morning I wonder if it's my ignition switch (which would be a major PITA to change, given it's location and lack of access...
