No idle viper mpi

[FAMILYMAN]

Does the gem have "power" to it all the time? It must. Maybe needs restarted, rebooted like a computer?

Okay lets go back. 1st I posted my throttle cable had excessive play. Then I posted my sled will not idle.

I had a lot of comments but not one as practical as to...."adjust the idle screw then tighten the throttle cable."

I would like everyone to know MrSled (Tom) called me and told me just that. I had to removing the gas tank to access the idle screw, but once I did I have adjusted it back to stock.

So think simple, and yes if your sled slowly looses it's idle, it could stretch, move or just settle in from the factory. Adjust and ride!

So how did the idle screw get out of adjustment?

 

[FAMILYMAN]

I was loaded and never touched it from the giveaway. They came back for the demo ride and it would not idle. Very strange. The idle screw was tight, could not see it screw out.

Check your TPS settings now after moving the idle screw.

Diag mode = hold bottom two buttons until it says diagnostic screen. Scroll through with left buttons until DIAG press select on right side, tps first screen. should be 0.6 idle and 3.8 full.

Thanks

I would guess from the mess that sled goes thru when you install a turbo and the throttle cable was so loose it was setting off the TORS. He drove it like that ...and how many times was it on its side and upside down Brent?

 

[FAMILYMAN]

Almost every time I ride. I can't hang on very well. O wait you were talking about the sled right. It too probably.
