Trooper 1100 RPM hang-up

Hello.

I'm hoping the Trooper Forum can help me with a nagging problem on my 08 T4. When the vehicle is moving, the RPM's hang up sometimes between shifting and also when I push in the clutch and roll to a stop. Shifting at RPM over 4000 it sometimes stays there (doesn't drop down between shifts). If I put in neutral and roll to a stop it hangs at about 1300 RPM. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop the RPM drops to 900 like it should. I cleaned up all sensors in the intake throttle body and just replaced the throttle cable but problem remains. Otherwise this rig runs awesome, but my mechanic background makes this really annoying. After reading too many posts on this forum I'm pretty sure I have one of the very early 08 models. Any ideas would be appreciated.

For starters, I would disconnect the Idle Air Control on the throttle body. Just unplug it. Also try putting an extra spring on to help pull the throttle all the way closed. I'm use the extra spring to solve a simular problem. Replacing the throttle cable itself isn't enough. I had to replace both the cable and sheathing. I found that water could acculumate in the sheathing at a low point and just stay there rusting the original steel cable which left wire fragments in the sheathing.

Thanks Lenny. The new cable came complete with new sheathing so that is covered. I will unplug the IAC test. If that doesn't work I will try return spring. Can't get my head around the fact that it only happens when vehicle is moving. Just doesn't make sense. Results will be posted after testing. Have a great day!

My 08 does the same thing, I just unhooked the iac like lenny said, as far as the idle being a little high when you stop then falling back down I was never able to find the problem to correct. If you disconnect the speed sensor it will probably quit doing it, but you won't have a speedo. I left it connected and put up with it like it is, yes it is very annoing. If you find out what it is let me know.

Thanks Lowgear. Did you try unplugging the speed sensor? I have thought of that but hesitated unplugging things due to brittle nature of connectors on this beast. I will post any/all remedies I come up with.

Yes I unplugged the speed sensor to find my problem but I plugged it back in I want to know how fast I'am going because I drive my on the street a lot. It's OK to unplug just be sure you squeeze the wire retainer enough so it will pull off easy.

Unplugged speedo sensor and problem fixed! Now what to do? Can I live without speedo?? Will new sensor fix the problem? Does sensor send signal to computer or only to speedo in dash? So many questions, so little time.....Thanks to all for advice.

Hook the speed sensor directly to the speedo. Thats what I did when I switched my computer to a Megasquirt aftermarket computer.

Thanks Lenny. I will try to rewire the sensor directly to speedo. That should solve all my problems unless computer gets angry about lost signal. Oh for the good old days before computers and electronics.....not that they are a bad thing but it makes for increased difficulty for an old fart like me! Thank you all for your help and ideas. Happy motoring!!

To answer your question wether to buy a new sensor, I tried it and it did not help I can't tell you what causes this problem but I did leave mine unhooked for about 50 miles and it didn't seem to have any effect on the ECU, but you my find out something different on your's.

I think the computer has to translate from Chinese to English so if I disconnect speedo sensor from computer then will it drive on the wrong side of the road??

It will probably be Sunday before I can get back to the rewire. Will post more info then.

Thanks everyone!!

I think your right about the wrong side of the road. You will also only be allowed to have one child.

Lenny.

Regarding your previous post, can I just clip one wire from speedo sensor harness to disconnect computer?

If so, do you know which one? I can't get enough info from Joyner elec diagrams. Always looking to make things easier if others have travelled the same road.

Thanks!

PS: think of it, the peace of mind having only one child/juvenile delinquent per household. I came from a family of nine.......

When I changed my computer over to a megasquirt, It was easiest for me to just run a wire from the speed sensor directly to the speedo. Nothing goes to the computer from the sensor. If you can run without the speed sensor plugged in, just cut the wires coming form the sensor. Then connect the wire coming from the speedo to one of the wires coming out of the plug which is still clipped to the sensor. If one wire doesn't work, try one of the others from the sensor. Look at the back of your speedo and you should be able to see the color coding of the wire going to the back. You then should be able to find that wire in the rear wiring. Shouldn't be any reason to run a new wire.

After you find the other end of the wire, check it for continuity from one end to the other. I agree, Joyners wiring is pretty scattered. If they would have just provided a good detailed schematic.

      By rdc
      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      Shift cable problem, 2017 Stampede 900, need advice
      By jertex
      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      Hoping someone out there somewhere can help.....2019 Massimo Buck 400S
      By AaronD1982
      Onto the next problem, everything has been replaced in the charging system except the Flywheel Rotor, I have it torn apart all the way down to said rotor, but it is suggested that a specific puller is required, and a compatible rotor seems virtually impossible to find.  I can find many like it, but this one is mine scenario for those that get the reference.  For all I know I have the last Massimo Buck 400S on the planet and will never find another part again, but who knows.  Any ideas, help or otherwise that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
