Ok...we are just about done with out boat!!! We have a 2001 115 Evinrude Ficht Injection Ram motor. It will work fine for a short trip like 20 minutes, then all of a sudden when you try to accelerate it will bogg and stall out when trying to reach a higher speed (which is terrifying) or if you pull back on the throttle and slow it down in time before it stalls you can go at trolling speed forever but if you try and accelerate it makes a horrible stalling noise and dies. We don't have any problems starting it off the hop but once the 20 minutes of fun is up and goes south and it stalls we can't restart it. We have changed the spark plugs, water /fuel separator filter, fuel filter ect. No codes are showing for mechanic and no lights are on! Anyone have any clue???? Could it have something to do with our throttle? Heat sensor? We need help!

no codes is good... but the ECU_EMM can'T tell you what it does not "sense"
like clogged injectors .or filters etc...

Not a FICHT expert but I read a lot .. almost sounds like fuel starvation or restriction .

have you checked all filtering and that little tricky filter in the VST return line from the injectors ??

you may have one or not.... early diagrams did not show it (part#7) neither did it show one on my 2005 ETEC VST but there is one !!! . if you haven't and do check it be VERY CAREFUL BARBs ARE BRITTLE $$$$ break one and you need a new VST !!!!

you may also want to check VST inlet float & needle operation

when your problem shows up try pumping the fuel bulb if the issue clears check the lift pump may need a look at incl. fuel pick up !!

btw... see vst issue ..

2001 Evinrude 115 HP FICHT injection pump issue - low pressure

When the motor is cold, PSI as measured at the schrader valve is mid 20's. With the engine idling, pressure slowly falls off, over 10 minutes or so, to 5 PSI, at which point the motor usually coughs and dies. Does this sound like a bad injection pump ?? Pressure at the lift pump, as measured...
