08 XP SUMMIT EVEREST BOGGING DOWN

I BOUGHT THIS SLED THIS PAST FALL AND HAD A SHOP LOOK IT OVER WITH THEIR OFF SEASON INSPECTION PROGRAM THEY SAID IT WAS GOOD TO GO. FIRST RIDE OUT OF THE YR WAS LAST WEEKEND HALFWAY THROUGH THE DAY IT STARTED BOGGING OUT RIDING THE TREES. I WOULD HAVE THE THROTTLE AT ABOUT 5-6500 RPM AND IT WOULD FALL IT AROUND 4K FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT WOULD THEN PICK BACK UP TO THE 5-6500K. COINCIDENTALLY THE MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON IT WAS RIDING WITH ME AND SAID SINCE IT ONLY HAD DONE IT ONCE OR TWICE IT WAS A FLUKE. SO THIS PAST WEEKEND WENT BACK TO THE SNOWIES SINCE THEY GOT A GOOD SHOT OF SNOW AND STARTED RIDING IN SOME DEEPER STUFF UP SOME LARGER INCLINES AND THE BOG CAME BACK AGAIN. I SEARCHED AROUND ON HERE AND I HAVE CHECKED THE HEATER VALVE AND IT IS SHUT OFF. I HAVE ALSO TAPPED ON THE DPM TO SEE IF IT MIGHT BE STUCK STILL DID THE BOGGING. THE CLUTCH WAS JUST WENT THROUGH WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT UNI PODS ON IT AND REMOVED THE AIR BOX. NOW THE AIR TEMP SENSOR IS JUST HANGING THERE AND I WONDERED IF SINCE THIS SENSOR IS JUST KINDA HANGIN THERE NOW IF ITS GETTING HOT FROM THE ENGINE AND GIVING THE ECM FALSE READINGS AND MAKING IT BOG DOWN? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. GOING TO TAKE IT ALL APART AND START LOOKING FOR A RUBBED WIRE AS WELL. :mmph:

Thanks for the advice guys i will try to snag an air box off ebay and see if that straightens up my problem.

quick update wanted to ride this past weekend and couldnt get an air box shipped to me in time so i removed the dpm solenoid and lubed it up good hooked it up to a battery to test the solenoid it had full movement. then took and relocated the air temp sensor down in between the air pods. also vented my clutch side panel. headed up to the mountain and the bog was gone and had a blast all day

thanks again :face-icon-small-hap
