First I would like to start by saying I take very good care of my rzr always maintence it . So I was riding yesterday on a fairly smooth trail probably 30 mph and out of nowhere it starts loosing power almost zero throttle response it starts backfiring and then had to shut it down. Disconnected the battery for 5 min then reconnected and same issue it wouldn’t hold idle , so I tried to drive it again , if I would feathery the throttle I could barely keep it running and the backfiring just got worse. So had to be towed back . Also I had the recall done and used it one time after that with no issues. Any ideas ? Voltage regulator? Computer? It seems to have fuel I checked it at the fuel rail. Thanks in advance?

yea, drain the tank and put a gallon of good new premium in. Ive never seen it on my RZR, but my other UTVs were very sensitive to shitty. gas. Ruined a whole holiday weekend trip one year. Toy hauler had 30 gallons of the shit.
The harness is the injectors under the bed cover. take it off. The 14s had a lot of these fail. You can buy new ones at oreilly or amazon etc. Solder and heat shrink them.

It is probably the wires coming out of the Throttle position sensor, my 2014 XP 1000 did the same as yours. I found the wire by slowly pulling on each wire, you will find one will be stretchy and that’s the one that is broken. I bought a used wire harness off eBay for a different reason but I had an extra plug so I fixed it very easily.

I have a friend that had a defective harness on his new 2016 XP4. Out of the blue, it started backfiring, sputter, then die. The odd part was the brake lights would come on with each backfire!

I had the same exact problem with my carback fires and tail light would light up with misfire. Took the dealer a month and a half to figure out and replaced the whole harness.

Another friend had the bad injector plugs, which he soldered new connectors on and also had loose connection in the map sensor which dielectric grease fixed the issue on the map sensor.

Then another car has a misfire code and the car is totally stock and about 6 months old. I am sure it is at the dealer now.

I had a similar issue and my was a bad tmap sensor and ultimately a bad wiring harness. As stated check the wires to the injectors and to the tmap sensor.

In fact disconnect the wiring harness from the tmap sensor and see if it will hold an idle.

Sometimes a code may not show up on the display, but it will when a dealer hooks it up to the computer.

Water can get into the gas with a temp change really easy. I would get some starting fluid and have someone spray it in the intake with the filter off while you start it. Don’t do it too much cuz it’s a dry burn and can wipe the rings. Then you will know if it’s electrical or not. That’s providing the throttle body opens to let more air in for acceleration. Be careful of backfiring, I would hold the can off to the side a bit while spraying.

Ok so here is an update. My buddy has the same rzr 1000 same year. I tried his Ecu, no difference. Tried his voltage regulator no difference. I drained all the fuel and put new from a different gas station , no difference. Pulled my valve cover and checked tdc on intake and exhaust cam sprockets everything looks in line. (Was thinking maybe it jumped a tooth). Changed plugs no difference . Wiggles wires at both fuel injectors nothing .also wiggled the wires at the tmap sensor. Nothing. Again no codes..lastly tried just moving the wiring harness as much as I could reach. Nothing. Question if it was electrical would it throw a code? Or not? Thanks again guys.

I recently went through a similar issue,car would sputter and back fire,die randomly.then be fine for awhile.finally got a iat code.at this point it wouldn't run after returning home from a trip(drove on the trailer).unplugged the tmap and fired right up but idled terribly so got a new tmap and pigtail,pigtail fixed it and now I have a spare tmap

Update I bought a fuel pressure gauge kit from harbor freight, installed it at the fuel rail Schrader valve and took a reading looks like the best I could get was 30 psi, I then disconnected it from the fuel rail pulled the passenger seat and connected the gauge directly to the fuel pump assemblely after disconnecting the factory fuel line with same results 30 psi. Keep in mind that it would not start when connected directly to the fuel pump so the best reading I could get was initial key turn on when fuel pump primed itself and also just turning it over and the best I could see was 28-30 max. When I connected it to the fuel rail it ram very poorly and the best I could see was 28-30 psi. So what do you think guys pump bad? My manual says 58 psi plus or minus a few lbs.
