jlloyd · Feb 10, 2010

i was out riding on some icy trails last week and had to ride some road to get back to the truck and my 05 900 started to backfire and run real crappy,i think it was going in and out of limp mode not sure what the temp was but i know it was hot. now when i start it,it will idle like #*@* but if i keep it running it will clear up for a few then come back ,my question is ,is it possible to get stuck in limp mode do i have to reset it ,or any other ideas what it could be any help would be greatly appreciated i am trying to ride this weekend if i can get it fixed

Are there any check engine lights flashing?

Kinda hard to say what kind of damage was done if you dont know just how hot you got it

My first guess would be you melted the O-rings in the head and are burning coolant.

Have you lost any coolant?

you got it super hot. I guarantee it! Look at your temps

it only got to 180 iknow thats hot but not hot enough to melt o rings and there were no lights flashing i scanned it and there were no codes

does the speedo have a memory option in it to view high temps and such like the RPMS ? maybe that will help you confirm the temps,

Has your tps harness even looked at?
If not, I suggest you have a good look at it for open circuit at the connector into the tps sensor. It is a common problem with the wiring of the tps.

problem solved!!!!!it did get hot but that was not the problem it turned out to be the plastic connection in the fuel tank that connects the the pump and the regulator came appart and was running crazy fuel pressure causing the injectors to fail, reconected and sled runs stronger than ever thank you all very much for your help

So how did you come to this conclusion....Ck pressure etc?
May help some one else later.

i could keep it running for short times,when it was running i pulled the plug wires off and found that only the mag side was working but the pto side was still getting good spark and both cylinders had good compression so that narrows it down to a fuel issue ,i thought i had a bad or plugged injector so i checked the fuel filter before i pulled the moter out and when i disconnected the filter it shot off like a rocket which ment there was way to much pressure in the lines so then i took a look at the regulator and found the problem i hope this can help someone in the future
