It will just put and putter in neutral with the parking brake engaged when I give it gas. Even if i am revving it up without the parking break engaged and THEN pull the brake it will go back to putting and puttering.

 

Hi c,
If I remember right, the 2008's were the first year to have the RPM restrictor tied to the EB.......It is suppose to putt with it engaged.....

 

ok great! i was just making sure because it idles pretty rough, sometimes back fires. thought maybe something was wrong with it. I will also add for others:

my fuel gauge was not reading right so i pulled the fuel pump from the tank. Come to find out THE FLOAT WAS BAD, it was SINKING! I ordered another replacement from here

" idles pretty rough, sometimes back fires." Shouldnt be doing that stuff... Probably T=BAP harness/cracked throttle body adapter.........

 

Thanks jungleman. I will look into that as well and post updates accordingly

 

Is there a way to test the T-BAP sensor? I see here in the manual to use a "digital wrench diagnostic software (dealer only)"

 

Also to add. My ranger is throwing no codes on the dash. Even after I ran the diagnostic code check.

 

EVERY 700 I have had ever laid a wrench on has had bad TBAP wiring with some having less than 100 hrs. OTB is the cure. It is not ‘if’… it is ‘when’ the TBAP harness goes bad..And a code is not always shown. Some symptoms of a bad T-Bap harness are engine will run poorly, no power, poor idle and engine miss. https://otbpowersports.com/product/t-bap-wiring-repair-harness/

 

Okay so it's the harness that usually takes a crap? I was under the impression it was the sensor that crapped out.

Good thing I came here and talked with the experts!

 

Yeah, we thought Jungleman was wrong once (I think back in 2011), but we were mistaken! :highly_amused:

 

I've got a harness on it's way. In the mean time I have done all the annual maintenance on it. New plugs, wires, oil change, and air filter. I also pulled the t-bap sensor out and cleaned the hell out of it with some sensor cleaner. Seems to be running much better already. I also sprayed some brake cleaner along the throttle body and the air intake to check for leaks, couldn't find any.

My gas gauge now works correctly too after I replaced the float in it.

I will update this post when I get that harness in.

 

ok so i got the harness in and hooked up. runs like a top now.

however. I dropped the nut that holds the Tbap sensor in place. anyone know the size of this bolt?

 

Errrrrrrrrrrr, what nut ? No nut that I know of on the TBAP sensor mounting. The threaded insert is built in to the rubber boot. (Can't remember the last time I dropped a nut:neglected: ) Good job btw, getting that new harness installed. You should be good to go for quite a while .. Check that throttle body adapter for a crack at the mounting flange. EBAY has great replacement knock offs for less .

 

I believe that a safety issue because mine does the same.
