Im posting this for my roomate. His sled is an 09 800 dragon with around 1500 miles on it. Rode it all last year, and had updates done to it, has run solid all the time, other then adjusting the idle up a hair last year, its been 100% rock solid. We took it out to cooke and rode it before t-day, rode ALL day in over the hood snow, worked great, never missed a beat. He took it home and went for another ride and now the thing is acting all crazy.
symptoms.
-if you creep the throttle up, it hits around 6500-7000 and just stops reving, acts like a rev limiter, then the check engine light comes on constantly blinking.
-if you go WOT from idle, it spikes up to just under 8k then dies down to 7k and sounds like its miss/rev limiter. the check engine light stays solid until it idles down.
-it also started idling like crap and barely will run without hitting the gas, idles so low the gauges start to flicker on and off.
I have read a lot on the whole VR failre, etc. but just curious before chasing the thing in circles. He built a tps tester and set it all.. so thats set properly.
