I'm a new member, and want /need to pick someone's brain here.

this mule was not running very well. Idling rough and appeared to be flooding.

After reading as much as I could, I decided to buy and install a new throttle body. I installed the new throttle body today and it runs good up the road, but I can't get the thing to idle. 

when first cranked, the engine goes to wide open even though the throttle is in the rest mode.

It never did this with the old throttle body. 

Is a new throttle body plug and play, or does it need to be programmed ?, Or, is there something wrong with this new throttle body ?

Any in site to my problem  is greatly appreciated

Welcome!!

 

I don't know much about the 4010, but the next best step is to get a Service manual. They're worth their weight in gold. here's 2,

Welcome to the forum!

Travis is absolutely correct about the manual. And as to your problem, it's possibly a sensor issue. Specifically, what would be a throttle position sensor. Although I have no idea what it's called on the mule. But it tells the throttle body how much gas, and air it needs. 

I say possibly, because it could easily be a combination of problems causing the issue. Or a wiring problem. Since i'm assuming that it's likely CPU controlled, you'll need to find the trouble codes.

Mine was doing the same thing and I pulled the fuel pump and below it was a gummed up fuel filter.  Changing it out corrected the problem.  It now runs and idles fine.  I bought a bunch of filters off amazon but understand there is a larger aftermarket filter available.  Anyone know where to get it?

      New 2020 Coleman Outfitter UT400 Owner with questions
      By KidColeman
      Hi All,
      Just picked  up a 2020 UT400 that my 80 year old father will be driving around the farm.  We purchased the machine with a few "issues" and they lowered the price accordingly.  Small stuff like passenger size mirror and back reflector was torn off by a Tractor supply employee, which we will order replacements for.  Also after further inspection, whoever assembled it did not put a few bolts in the rollcage and aren't in the glovebox, so will be having to order those also.
      Anyway, there are two initial things on the UT400 I'm not sure what they are or for.  The first, there is a square white electrical connector with about 8 pins hanging form under the middle of the back bed - I don't see another one to match up or plug into it, so wondering if this is pre installed optional connection for like towing around a sprayer?  Anyone know what this is?  Also, there is a 10 inch black rubber hose that is zip tied to the back A frame on the passenger side.  I watched the assembly video and it doesn't mention one, so don't know what this hose is for - anyone know?
      Also, has anyone come up with a "fix" or work around for having to have the seatbelts plugged in or even in place?  We aren't planning on using them and are figuring just plugging them in and wedging them behind the seats - didn't know if there is a way to just disconnect the "over 10mph gas starving" safety sensor.
      Looking forward to seeing how this machine does for my father.   I'm thinking about installing a suicide knob on it for easier turning for him, as it's a little stiff (compared to our Kawasaki Mule).  Maybe with use it will loosen up some?
      Thanks!

      New AXIS 550
      By Greg Kilgore
      Was at Lowe's over the weekend. The wife and I seen they have a new Axis 550. That thing is sharp. Has a complete door. Speakers in door. Bigger engine. Bench seats. New styling all the way around. Looks to be more air tight than my 2022 model. I really like the looks but $10k is out of my price range for now. Unless I could sell mine. And the resale on the Axis 500 is nothing.
      Went to the local wally world today. See a 4 person Polaris General 1000 on the back of a trailer. That Polaris looked exactly like a stretched version of the Axis 550. Even down to the vents in the windshield.
      Just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny the Axis 550 is a copy of the Polaris?

      Hisun will not change gears while running
      By Buck
      My father-in-law has a Hisun 750.  It has started to not change gears while running.  He can turn it off, change gears, then restart and it will change.  I thought it might have something to do with the brake but can’t find any info.  Thanks in advance for any info.
