RXP-X runs then quits

[JTAK101]

I have a 2008 RXP-X I just flushed the intercooler last week, ran the ski this weekend, and if I was holding it at 30mph steady every 20-30 sec or so the ski would loose all power and the rpms everything would just come to a halt for about 2 seconds then go right back up to 30.. this went on the entire ride at any speed... If I would hammer down on the throttle full tilt it would want to run but evently die, and take a couple mins to fire back up... Anyone run into this before??
Background info:
Ski has 125 hours
Rebuilt supercharger at 89 hours
Plugs at 89 hours, and I pulled the plugs and they looked fine

hmm maybe didn't get all water out of intercooler?
Change the plugs anyways.. sometimes they can fool yah.

Fuel Pump possibly

Fuel Pump possibly

Could be this, or maybe a bad injector. I would definitely change out the plugs and see if that's the problem.

You caught my interest with not getting out all the water out of the intercooler.... I flushed it out, then cleaned the fins (where the air flows) then blew it out with compressed air, and reinstalled... I could see it possibly having some water droplets... Why would that cause this issue though??

[JTAK101]

Yeah I will change the plugs even though they looked okay... I thought injector to at first.. but it idles fine, I would think if it was a bad injector it would have a rough idle.

Isnt there always moisture in the intercooler, I mean the air its sucking up cant be that dry

I thought the same thing myself. Especially in florida with these hot 100+ degree summers.

[JTAK101]

Right especially when your on the water, I mean its sucking up that air and we are already in 100% humidity down here... But seems odd that I just had it out now its acting up... It might be a coincidence and its something fuel related... Going to take it out tomorrow and see if it throws any codes

If there is water in intercooler still or too much moister it will bog down.. and foul plugs ...... check intercooler and change plugs simple.

IC's probably sprung a leak.

So should I just pull the intercooler back out and keep blowing it with compressed air? Will grab some plugs today.

I pulled the intercooler back out, hooked it up to my dryer hose and ran the dryer for 45min.. it pushed out quite a bit of moisture and more gunk... I then blew it out further with compressed air, changes all 3 plugs, and changed a ignition coil that had some broken insulation, took the ski out today, and had the same problem...

Take Speedskixps advice.
Take out your ic, attach the water line to a water hose (don't turn it on all the way) while plugging the other end to see if it has sprung a leak. If it is leaking you will see water in the air passages where it shouldn't be! If it is, time to replace!
**If it is leaking, your manifold is probably full of water too. Be sure to drain it!!
