Sled shuts off after 15 seconds

[srxtim26076]

My 2008 nytro shuts down after about 15 seconds. There is no fault lights coming on until after it shuts down. Then the yello light and engine light is on. I unplugged all the connectors (one by one) until the sled would would run to get me home. I figured it was a temperature sensor or something. It ran with the white, two wire on the left side unplugged. Over the clutch. Can anyone help me diagnos this

Thanks

WOW !!!! I will have to think about this one . I will look in the man. to find out what wire you unpluged . Hows the oil level ?

X2 on the oil level - I'd check it.

That white connector you mentioned over the clutch with the two wires is most likely the oil pressure sensor. If you overheated the engine in the past and/or had a coolant leak causing an overheat this wire will melt on the engine block and sled will shut down after 10-15 seconds after a restart. Pull both ends,yank the wire leed out and check for melted wire.

It seems to be the oil pressure sensor. I unplugged the sensor under the sled by the oil filter. It would allow it to run without shutting down. I pulled the sensor out and cranked over the engine. Oil shot out fairly strong so I am thinking it's the sensor. Rode the sled 150 miles and it didn't blow up.
