And one more idle question...

My T2 stopped idling today, but something else happened that I haven't found on any thread:

The RPM gauge was erratic. It seemed jerky at times, and this happened at the same time my idling went. As I returned home, sometimes the guage / idling worked fine, sometimes not.

Any ideas?

I did Kinarfi, and I know I can disconnect the IAC (By the way, can anyone post a pic of it?). The issue is that I only have idle problems when my RPM gauge gets jerky, which tells me something more serious is going on.

Check all of your connections and unplug and replug all connectors including the main computer plug. Sounds like you could have a short some place. There are 2 things on the throttle body, the IAC and the Throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensor is hooked to the end of the shaft that goes thru the throttle body.which rotates when the gas pedal is pushed,

Thanks again Lenny. I'll check all connections this Friday. I'm wracking my brains trying to think this through, especially because when the RPM gauge was acting weird the engine itself was revving fine except for the idle issue.

In other words, the RPM gauge wasn't reading the revs properly and it appeared that whatever was causing the issue was also affecting idle.

At the moment, it's working fine, which makes it near impossible to find.

On an internet search, I did find the IAC failure affecting the RPM and idle on a car, but the car was over-revving and there was little mentioned as to the cause.

If you disconnect the IAC, do so when it is idling ok. If it's sticking open some it will not idle after you disconnect it otherwise. Once disconnected, adjust the idle with the idle adjustment screw.

Well, so far I've installed a home-made manual 4x4 lever that I am happy with. Used a Diff lock lever assembly I bought from Lenny, a motorcycle cable, a slide I made from scratch and it works great.

The Idling issue has gone away for now and its humming fine, though I'm sure it'll return. The RPM gauge is also working fine. Still mystified. Haven't found any shorts either.

Braced the front end thanks to Kinarfi's thread, and am in the process of installing a new fusebox.

Also put in a 16" fan, installed a fuel pressure gauge, and a few other odds and ends.

Look at it this way, these are really neat machines. However,Joyner we just have to sort of finish the manyfacturting process that Joyner failed to do. Joyner should always consult this forum before making any improvements or upgrades.

I agree completely Lenny. I'm really happy with mine and don't regret my decision. For me, it's a work machine that allows me to go places every week that I did only by 2 day mountain bike rides / dirtbike / 3 day hike.

Now, we take 12 hours, and cover much more territory. Even though I go slowly, the heavy monsoon-created ruts on impossible trails beat the crap out of the T2, and yet I make it every week. I like working on machines, and I like riding them, and I sure get lots of both with this ;)

I call it tinkering and love every minute of it. I live in a retirement community and seems everyone just sits around and doesn't do much of anything. Yah, they will go out and play golf once a week but its like they spent their life preparing for retirement so they didn't have to live anymore but sort of just exist. Gosh, i've gotten to the point that I am starting to realize that I don't have enough years yet to live to get all the things I want to accomplish done before I die. I'm 67 years old and plan on living to be at least 100, knock on wood. I don't plan on slowing down and will keep going for many years to come. Take things like my shop away from me where I spend most every day making and designing stuff, well, you might just as well shoot me and put me out of my missery. I have neighbors that think I'm nuts for not wanting to just sit around and be worthless. They just don't understand I guess. Look at Kinarfi, got himself busted up really good but won't let it stop him. Now thats determination to keep on going. Don't know If I could be that tough.

I hear you. I'm nearing 50, and the slow degradation is inexorable. However, it would be much worse if I didn't bike every day. I know so many that, at my age, huff to climb a half dozen stairs and nearly have a coronary ascending one floor. I'll die one day, but I'd like to bike, live, enjoy wife and a myriad other things right up to that moment.

What happened to Kinarfi? Or are you referring to his T2?

Problem has come back - but it only happens in serious downpours and after a good hour of knee deep mud sloshing. I'm thinking its water related :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll be going over all the front fusebox and wiring this monday.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.
      By rdc
      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      How to make a commando transmission work in sand spider
      By Outlaw Redneck
      Hello all. I have a 2005 Joyner sand spider 650 with the dreaded broken output shaft on the transmission. I got ahold of a 2007 joyner commando 650 for cheap that had a bad motor but a good transmission. I got it because everything i read said that the transmission would work but it seems that it will not. Due to the commando being 4x4 it has a selectable locker and a small ring gear using a "idler" gear to turn the ring gear which make the output spin the wrong direction. Is there any way that I can make this thing work? I really dont want a commando,  I like the buggy but if the trans wont work then I can only put my motor in the commando. Any help would be appreciated. I have the ring gear from the original trans but the shaft is broken and the shaft from the commando wont fit the ring gear it doesn't appear.

      2017 Mahindra mpact 1000 S Diesel - Indicator lights Gauge wiring
      By bcorneliusen
      Hi, 
      I have recently inherited a 2017 Mahindra mpact 1000 S Diesel flexhauler. The small silver-bezeled indicator gauge on the dash is no longer working since the wires were accidentally pulled from the back. I have managed to connect the correct wires for the seatbelt safety but most are still unplugged. Any pics or a wiring diagram for that gauge would be helpful. 
      Thanks!

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Instrument and switch panel stopped working - Sector E1
      By Jarheadtx
      I have a 2020 Sector E1. It's been a great UTV over the years and I did a lithium battery upgrade a few years back (complete game changer). Since owning the unit the dashboard and lights would occasionally flicker while driving, but not every time. I couldn't replicate the issue in any driving scenario and all fuses are good. The dashboard and several switches finally died completely this past weekend - meaning lights, winch, and dash lights do not work, but forward/reverse and speed work. I rechecked the fuses and all look good - any ideas on what else to check?
