It's not the relays or the TORS but the sled will not idle. If I give it throttle it will start and run. As soon as I let off it dies. If I don't touch the throttle it will fire then die, then fire then die. I'm thinking the IAC valve. Ran great then wouldn't run in the morning. Any thoughts?

Get the sled up to temp , take it for a short low speed ride , shut off for 10 min . Should go away . Or put in heated garage

That's what I was thinking. IAC must be iced up. I'll try that tomorrow. No heated garage. At a hotel in Vermont. Rode the Nytro today cause I didn't feel like messing with it. I forgot how much fun that wheelie monster is in tight trails.Get the sled up to temp , take it for a short low speed ride , shut off for 10 min . Should go away . Or put in heated garage

Must have been the IAC valve iced up. I ran it around in some powder right before shutting it off to cool it down after coming into town. Must have pulled in a bunch of moisture then it went to 0 over night. I kept it running till it got to 190, shut it down, let it sit 10 minutes then it was fine. Ran great all day. I did have the fuel pump relay freeze on it and my dad's viper this morning though. Someone needs to make a solid state relay for this thing.

Don't even need to let it sit 10 mins..
Just get it to running temp and shut it off , and it should start right up , as good as new.
Only happened once , and it was after a very short ride of less than a half mile , where the sled never got up to temp , and then shut off , and sat outside all night .
It wasn't even very cold the next morning , just the moisture I guess .

Same thing happened to me , just freaks u out in the morning when u are ready to leave the cottage and it won't idle. When you are already on high alert because of the arctic cat factor ...lolMust have been the IAC valve iced up.
