I was ridding my RZR when I got in the upper RPM range it started missing then quit. I tried to start it back up and it cranked then back fired the cranked and back fired then it would run for a second then quit. I have been deployed for six months and it did set for the whole time I was gone. I rode it for about 10 miles or so before this happened. It has 540 hours on it and hasn't been in the mud. I haven't had any problems with it other than the clutch making noise. I put new plugs in it last night and checked for fire. It seems like the fire is intermittent and it is getting fuel. I think that it could be a stator, CDI, or coil. Thanks for all and any info, Travis

You did drain old fuel and put new fuel in, correct?
Is battery fully charged?
Check BAP sensor that sits on the plastic boot between the air filter and throttle body is clean.

Ok, Bap sensor looks clean. I did check for blink codes and I got the number 25. The book does not tell what is the cause of a 25 so if anyone knows or has an idea what this could be please let me know. Thanks Travis

Travis,
If you think you're not getting enough fire, check the following:
Plug wires - firmly connected to coil and plug
- could also check for broken plug wire
CPS - Crankshaft Position Sensor - check and make certain that the harness connection if firm,in place and still intact.
Grounding screw behind drivers seat on lower frame. Check with 3/8 socket
to insure that it is tighten. There have been some problems with the
brown wire going into the ECU, either broken or loose.
ECU - While engine is running (if you can get it started), try applying slight
pressure or wiggling the wires that go into the bottom of the ECU. You
could have a bad connection,partial broken wire, or one of the pin
connectors may be pushed in too far
These are the simpliest items to check 1st before pulling out the digital volt
meter and checking resistance on coils, as well as checking CPS,TPS
voltage readings.

Thanks Dan, it makes it worth it when you have so many people that thank all of us service members that have been over seas! I will try all of those things BlackBart and thank you for helping me out. I will keep you guys updated when I find out what the problem is.

I changed my spark plugs two days ego and one ceramic resistor inside the spark plugs boots was broken, but actually engine must run with it without problem, because I never notice any change. But just to give you something to check on.

Ok, I had to take it to the shop and the only thing that they could find is the Crank position sensor, so they replace it. I brought it home and rode it for about 15 min. and it started missing and the check engine light came on. It had a couple of blink codes 25 and 21. I changed the plugs and the light went off until I rode it for another 15 min and it started doing the same thing. It almost seems like it is getting rich filing out one of the plugs but the plugs aren't black and the machine will idle all day long with the new plugs in it. The Razor only starts missing after about 15 min of riding. Any and all help or thoughts will be great. Thanks Travis

Idle's all day long --

After 15 minutes -- Starts to miss ............

Next item I'd check is a plugged fuel tank vent.

Sounds like it's plugged and the fuel pump is pulling a vaccum in the fuel tank.

One way to check as you most likely don't have a test fuel guage for the fuel rail -- Simply loosen your fuel cap and take for a ride. If this solves your issue - The vent line is plugged.

Just a guess ........

Dave you nailed it. I loosened the gas cap and duck taped it on so it would not fall off and it ran fine. I got back in the garage and took the vent loose and the little tube that fits inside the big vent tube was kinked off. I cut off the kinked part, off the tube and no problems and it runs great again. Thanks again Dave!! Travis

It sounds like your TPS sensor is not in the correct position. The tps is on the throttle body and is held in with a torx screw. Just take the screw loose and you can move it left or right to get the correct running position. You will need two people to do this. You can also check the voltage it should be .08 to .0738. This voltage is hard to check so just get a buddy to help you with starting it and pushing the gas pedal while you adjust the tps sensor. Good luck and if this don't work it could be the voltage regulator. Thanks again Mike

I ride in the mud a lot, and go deep in the water, so I have all my vent lines up high on the cage. I have to keep the gas cap as tight as possible...two hand torque. I always have to check my vent lines for blockage. We also have a wasp called a dirt dobber. It makes a mud nest to lay its' larva in. They love small holes like the vent lines. So, if you have them in your area (sure you do), and your ride sets up for awhile, I would check for these buggers.

As for the TPS suggestion, not knocking anyone, but I would be careful messing with it. There are more steps involve to get it Perfect than were explained.

Dave, you are the man. I love this forum, and I think it is great when a member helps his fellow man.

This applies to you as well Travis. I am a Vet, and from one brother to another, thank you for serving.
