Sled had high idle early today and the reverse did not work. Now the sled idles really low and the reverse still does not work. The tps has been set with a fluke and has ran flawless since new. It has 260 miles on it. Any ideas? Thanks

Maybe a short in the heaters, are the grips tight?

My wife's 600 pro did the exact same thing today. I don't wanna sound like a tool, but would someone like to tell me where the TPS connector is so I can check it?

It's behind the secondary clutch, you'll see the black rubber boot that slides over the connection.

Well, got it figured.
Dried the tps connection first.
Put it back together and problem still existed.
Then I started thinking and remembered that I bumped my bumper a couple rides ago and the sled acted wierd for a few miles after that happened. I replaced the bumper and the problem reared it's head on the next ride. I then thought about all the grounds that attach at the bumper mount.
I loosened the nut and re-tightened and the problem has disappeared. I know it seems weird but the ground connection seems incredibly sensitive. Thanks again for the help guys.
