After a 1/2 hour or so of running at middle to high RPMs, my engine just quits. Not a reduction to RPM, but totally quits. The temperature gauge will be between 120 and 130 degrees. The oil tank is full. Fuel is not empty. Seemingly ready to run.
When I try to restart it the indicator lights go thru the regular series...The warning bells rings, then all four indicator lights extinguish in order, as they should. However, it won't restart and the "CHK ENG", "HOT" and "NO OIL" indicator lights all "relight". During these episodes the motor will not turn over at all.
Within a few minutes, the indicator lights will act properly, and the engine will restart. Based on the time delay, the issue could be heat related, but the gauge (120-130 degrees) doesn't seem to support that diagnosis.
I've given up p***ing in front other vessels
.
Model number of engine is E250FPXSTA. Year is 2002. Serial number is 05008965
Anyone had a similar problem, or have any ideas on a solution? Is this common?
Since my initial post, I read that there may be some restriction in the cooling hoses that serve and/or exhaust the EMM. I have checked those. There is no obstruction. Both flow freely. I ran the engine (for only a few seconds) and the intake hose produced good pressure. I blew into the EMM, and the exhaust side flowed well.
