2010 RZR S Running On One Cylinder???

Yesterday I took a jump out of a rutted pit which violently threw me to the right and then shot me out of the pit to the left. When I landed, it was like my RZR S was only running on one cylinder. It idles @ 950 RPMs and when I gun it, it only seems to barely move. It does idle and it does go into reverse and all forward positions of the transmission. I only have 130 miles on it and I can also faintly smell gas at the exhaust. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks, Funride, for the info. I couldn't sleep at all last night thinking about this, so I got up early this morning determined to solve the issue before I headed to the shop. I almost got my arm stuck between the exhaust manifold and the brace for the bed, but was able to barely get my fingers to the spark plugs and VOILA! The plug wire on the aft plug was laying on the head. After a good five minutes of wrangling my forearm out of the S, I decided to get some Dielctric first and clean both plug wires first before reassembly. Thanks to all for your assistance, and Funride DO NOT look into the eyes of the avatar too long as you will suffer an epileptic seizure. :devil3:
It's a trap!

thewinner, I'd start by checking all the connections I can get to. If it was fine when you parked it and now it isn't, it sounds like moisture and/or corrosion in a connector someplace.
