2015 Massimo 550 Throttle Position Sensor issue

I'm looking to purchase a 2015 Massimo 550 that might have an issue with it's throttle position sensor.   

From the fella selling this UTV, he claims its to set the idle on fuel injection because the engine will not stay idle or when it starts sometimes it idles too high.

My Question if anyone had any issues with their Massimo 550 and if it was actually the TPS or something else that would allow the machine to idle correctly.

Thanks!

Hi I am curious to find out what you end up with I have a Coleman 550 which as I understand is basically the same engine and I have the same problem but I've been told it's the injector which I've changed 3 or 4 times now, sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks

The TPS does control idle, but other items can cause idle issues, such as a vacuum leak, carbon on the throttle plate and even a timing issue. Unfortunately Massimo doesn't produce detailed trouble shooting information on their UTV's.

Hi Mark ..

Well things ended up changing ...  I went and took a look at it and decided it was a bit smaller than I wanted.   So I ended up buying a Kawasaki Mule 4x4 Trans 4010 ..   with desiel ...  bought it on auction and know it needs some work..  One of those deals you see the pictures but have not physically seen it in person ...  So it should be interesting when I pick it up.

All true.

However TPS can cause a lot if problem especially if someone touched it,  it has that paint on the screw for a reason.

Done many tps, requires expensive probes or y harness to check finite voltage while running... not just static ohm tests work.

A poor battery or voltage regulator can cause the same problems...

If it's EFI and yr boosting it to start it it won't run right.... period. Start simple.

The tps should be a 5v reference. The voltage will range from .5 to 4.5v when slowly opening and closing the throttle with key on. (Check manual for specific model and voltage reference)

Black probe to ground and red probe to signal wire.

No need for static resistance testing, dynamic testing will reveal the problem.

Hope this helps...

Thanks guys! .... I purchased a Kaw Mule instead of the 2015 Massimo 550 - but sure this helped someone else with a TPS issue.

Thanks again for all the help!

      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      Anyone know anything about the Massimo Warrior 1000 MXD Crew UTV? I like the look but don't know anyone that owns one. All feedback is appreciated.

      Hello! I picked up a Facebook especial and was curious if I could get some help identifying what exactly it is. It was labeled as a Mossimo 500, but I can't confirm that. The closest I've seen is a Hisun Supermach 500. I bought it as a project but without knowing exactly what it is and the year it's hard to buy parts for it.
      What I do know is that it has the Hisun 500cc carbureted engine, and I can share the VIN if that helps.
      Here are some photos
       
      Thanks in advance

      I got a utv from lowes it has one tire in the back that is the same size as the front tires so it has 3, 26-9-14 and 1 26-11-24. i want to change the rear tire to the same one as the other.So instead of buying a new rim will a 26-11-24 tire fit on a 26-9-14 rim.
