How did I Fix my Polaris Sportsman EFI spitting?
I removed and cleaned the T-BAP sensor, fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel rail, and the throttle body. l also replaced the fuel filter and burned a whole tank of fuel treated with Sea Foam. Finally, when I put it back together I double checked all of the connections/clamps from the air box to the intake manifold. None of that fixed the problems.
Why is my spark plug not working on my Polaris?
As you get to higher RPM’s, the problem gets worse as the arcing is causing the spark plug to not fire consistently or enough. It can load up the plug and foul it.
How did I Fix my 700 sportsman EFI?
In the interest of getting all the symptoms and attempted fixes into one thread I thought I’d share about how I spent the whole summer chasing down and fixing a spitting, sputtering, quitting-while-hot issue on my ’06 700 EFI.

What to do if your EFI machine is sputtering?
You can also (with the machine off), grab the coil and see if you can rotate it….if you can rotate it, then the ground, mount bolt is loose and needs to be tightened. In order to tighten, you need to remove the two bolts on the mount plate. They screw directly in to the frame.

What causes popping and hesitating on Polaris Pro riders?
That kind of popping/backfiring. You know how if it’s advanced too far it starts real hard and rough but will rev to the moon, but if it’s retarded too much, it starts super fine but sputters and bucks and spits and kicks. Would a sheered woodruff key put off symptoms like this?
Why is my sportsman EFI spitting hot gas?
Later I did some reading on this and other forums and found several possibilities that could cause the same symptoms: Temperature-Barometric Pressure sensor wiring broken, the sensor itself is bad, the Throttle Position Sensor is bad, its wiring broken, the fuel pump going bad, and hot gas in the tank. I started with the simple things.

What kind of car is a Polaris predator 500?
Pretty new to Polaris for that matter. I’m a life-long Honda & Arctic Cat guy. But now I have an ’05 Predator 500 and it’s driving me insane. I got it off a guy that said it ran last year and I kind of know him so I don’t think he’d have any reason to b/s me. It’s super clean and not really modded up.
Why does my Polaris Sportsman run on EFI?
Machine starts right up, but runs like the choke is left on (but its an EFI) and will continue running only if you are on the throttle. Grrr. AKStew, did you have any Check Engine lights throughout any of this?
Why does my Polaris Sportsman not spit fuel?
Other than rough idling and the idle RPMs seemed low; the machine would go for hours and then all of sudden it would start doing the funky chicken like it was starved for fuel. I would wait about 15-20 minutes, start it right up, and all would be well again for the next day or two.
