ALRIGHT JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE MECHANIC. IT WAS THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. HE SAID IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH VOLTAGE TO IT AND WASN'T READING RIGHT. SO IF ANYONE HAS A 3/4 TO FULL THROTTLE BOG THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT!
talk to the shop

COMPLETELY FALL ON ITS FACE. YOU WILL NO IT. IF THE BACKFIRE ISN'T ENOUGH, YOU COULD LINE UP NEXT TO A RIDING MOWER AND HE WOULD PROBABLY PULL ON YOU. ITS LIKE HITTING YOUR REV LIMIT W/ A BACKFIRE AND SPIT SPUTTER. REALLY SUCKS. THE PART IS AROUND 400.00 DOL. BUT WARRANTY GOT THE BILL.
Thanks for the update. Would it completely fall on it's face or just seem to hesitate.

well the dealer said the tps. are you saying it could be the ecu
When i had a problem i thought it was the TPS as well. because i tested it myself and the output voltage was bad, but the ealer tested the tps and then the ecu and it was the ecu that was bad. and warranty covered it too.

Well... I am not saying it couldnt be the tps but i would have the ecu checked out as well. the tps was just the cheapest and easiest thing to replace so i started there. and to get it replaced under warranty i took it to the dealer and they found that the ecu was bad.well the dealer said the tps. are you saying it could be the ecu

not set correctly. Or maybe the fastner wasn't tight enough and with the vibration lets the tps moveSo has there been a repeat problem with the TPS. Is it a part that just fails or were they not set correctly from the factory?
