Hey guys im new to the site. I have a 2017 kodiak thats been giving me a few problems. I was outriding one day with some friends and everything was fine. out of nowhere it began sputtering and almost couldnt pull itself. i drove back to the trucks at about 7mph. we all tried to take a look at it and nobody could seem to figure anything out. i took it home and looked a little further but still nothing. the atv will idle all day long just fine but as soon as you give it any throttle, it skips and sputters and will eventually cut off. i took the throttle body off and cleaned everything i could and changed the spark plug. still nothing. can anybody give me any thought or maybe a possible fix???

I'm betting on the throttle position sensor.

 

[danielw55]

would you have an idea on price or could it be a common problem with these thats an easy fix?

I don't think the part is expensive but I would suggest having it tested to confirm if it is defective. Chasing a gremlin can get expensive if you just start replacing parts on assumption.

Not sure if the throttle pos sensor would need to be adjusted after being replaced, but that may need to be done at the dealership...just not sure on that one.

Sure will be nice when we get the feedback on this!

A little bit late to the party but where have you been getting your fuel at when you fill it up? Is it gas out of a plastic/metal jug or directly from the filling station?

It almost sounds like a clogged fuel filter, but since we don't have fuel filters on these rigs it might be a problem with the fuel pump or the sock that they place on the pickup to substitute for a filter.
