Re: 1996 Volvo penta 5.0 engine issues
"still need to check the fuel filters for contaminants"... that should have been the FIRST thing that was checked/changed. You should ALWAYS carry a spare set of fuel filters onboard, because you never know when you might get a bunch of "gunk" in them and if you have a set you can be on your way quickly, whereas if you don't then first you have to even locate a PLACE to get the replacement filters and then acquire them and put them on. That could ruin a whole weekend where you could have been out on the water!!
Not sure which ECU those engines use. Might post up a picture of it and somebody might be able to identify. If it's an MEFI then you can read codes from it pretty easy just by hooking an LED up to the diag connector. However, there are many issues (like plugged fuel filters) that won't show up as a code in the ECU, so don't expect much. If the symptoms are happening to both engines I doubt it's an ECU or a sensor issue.

Also, you may want to make certain what engines you have when sourcing parts. For 1996, 5.0 liter, they are more than likely GM 305 engines, not ford 302's.

What is an eeic ecm, not sure I have heard of that before . Do you have the rinda scan tool.
Try to replace electric parts with marine parts if you can.
