1997 GTI - Problem with shuting down

[Seadog88]

Hi I have a 1997 GTI and am having a problem with it stutting down and won't start again until you disconect the plug between the motor and MPEM.

This happens only when you jump wake waves and it seems to me that for a split second it gets air into the pump or something and then it shuts down the engine and all power.
It starts up as soon as you unplug and reconnect the plug. I do hear the 2 beeps and away she goes and will run fine until you jump waves again or do a power S turn.
I'm a new comer to PWCs and to this form.
Any help would be great.

Hi & welcome to the forum.
It sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Try unplugging then plugging back all connections that you can get a hold of. Use some di-electric grease on them. I had a similar problem and it was a bad connection in the front Ebox.

Many thanks for your advice.
I was thinking on something like that but just wanted to see if anyone has ran into an issue like that.
I'll check that in the morning.
