I have a 2007 VP 5.0GXi-G. While motoring at high idle, the smooth-running engine abruptly died. It restarted a few times, but would not stay running. As this was the maiden voyage of our newly-acquired boat (shake-down cruise), I was not yet familiar with all the systems and what could cause a stall - nor did I have all the tools on-board. I was towed to the dock and I took it home to troubleshoot.
While fighting the stuck fuel filter on the fuel cell, the low pressure pump connector just rolled off. I looked at the connector, and the engine side of the connector has a broken lock (connector not locking down). I looked at the pins on the low pressure fuel pump and there is corrosion. I can fix the corrosion on the pins, but the broken connector on the engine harness needs to be replaced. I looked at the price of an engine harness at Volvo, and we're talking a boat buck ($1000), so that's not gunna happen. Is there a source for the 2-blade low fuel pressure pump connector on the engine side?
