Help starting my flooded Mescruiser 1997 454 magnum mpi vst system.

[JimmyD150155]

Hi,
Just bought a used sea ray 26 footer and within a week it broke loose of the mooring and beached. Engine was flooded, I flushed fuel tank, engine and hydraulics. At this point engine cranks over and I am getting good sparks in the plugs but I am not getting fuel to the cyl's.
Any advise on trouble shooting the fuel system appreciated.?
Regards
Jim Donnachie

Hi Scott,
I believe so but as everything got flooded there may be pockets of water. I blew out as much as I could with an air compressor but did not open any relays or connection blocks. Also sprayed with a water displacement spray like WD40.
Thanks
Jim

You need to dry out any water that got into any wiring/plugs and computer or control modules.
