Let me add that I am not having any performance issues. No problems in idling, mid range or at top end. the engine seems to run fine.

 

Its likely you have a bad wiring harness to the IAC. Theres no way to know if you will have issues on the ride, but if your not having issues now you will probably be OK. I just can't guarantee that.

 

Is this something I myself can fix? Quite honestly I'm not sure exactly what to look for. I'm a pretty decent mechanical person but I guess I'm not really sure what I'm looking at or looking for.

 

I guess I need to go back on what I said earlier. Now the engine doesnt want to idle. If it does, its at a very low rpm, around 700-750 and sounds kinda rough. Sometimes goes up to around 1300-1400 but goes back down to 700-750.

 

Sure does sound familiar!! Mine turned out to the IAC harness. I know the harnesses are pricey but the '11 800s are notorious for that. Finding the failing wire(s) can be really tricky. The dealer may be able to run diags on it and pinpoint it (maybe!) and will probably tell you it's a bad harness, or you can roll the dice and just order and install the harness yourself - not a difficult install. Could be somewhere else, but that is where I'd start.

 

Thank you for you responses carnivore and fswan. I agree everything seems to point to the IAC harness. I hope to take my machine to a dealer/service in the morning. Hopefully they can find/fix problem before I am supposed to leave Thursday.

fswan.....may i ask what the cost was on your IAC harness?

 

My machine gave me the same codes and fits. It ended up being the blue/black wire at the IAC plug was broken inside the coating just outside the connector. I pulled the wire from the plug and soldered it back together. No more problems since then.

 

Thanks Jason. It ended up being IAC harness. 2 wires completely burned. After finding/ordering a new harness, the repair took about 15-20 minutes.

 

i believe im having the same issues on my 2011 crew...previous owner said he brought it to the dealer twice and they "couldnt figure it out"...any way you could point me in the right direction?

where do i order the harness? (how much?)
what exact harness is it?...any pictures or anything i can use as a guide?
