It runs like crap! I have spent the last couple days reading posts about this particular year and the issues with the EFI system. I don’t seem to see too many people with my exact problem more like parts and pieces of them. Here is what is going on:
First time I noticed I was seeing what it would do and it wouldn’t go over 40mph it felt like it was maxed out is the best way to describe it. After some more riding I noticed it was real sluggish around 30mph or so, at times throttle wide open and no response. On the way home it backfired a little bit also. I’m not sure if this is heat related, the fan is cycling normally.
Most of the issues I have read about seem to include erratic idle and dying and not being able to restart the machine, I have NOT had any of these issues. It just feels like there is a governor on it at times and some sputtering and backfiring I have had it up to 60mph with more to go, so I know it’s able to "run normal" at times. If I keep it around 25mph there are NO issues. I’ve only put about 12 miles on it
I plan on checking all the electrical connections for the Tbap and TPS sensors, also do a fuel pressure test. Can somebody recommend a good affordable tester I can buy from a chain store?
So far from what I’ve read and my experience I think it’s the fuel pump and I’ve read all about the Carter pump and how many have gone with it. It seems too strange to me that this problem only occurs at higher speed and RPM. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance
