Engine Shuttering / Hesitation During Acceleration

[Mr. White]

I sure hope this clears your problem. I am glad your dealer is trying to fix your scoot...some don't as you know.

Tech changed out the ignition coil and plug wire. He then test drove for about 45 minutes and said it ran fine. I picked it up today and rode about 45 miles before it started acting up again. Took it back to the dealer tech and sugguested they check the purge valve or maybe it needs a new ECM. It has now been in the shop for over three weeks. The dealer tech seems to keep putting it on the computer every time I bring it back and acting up, and then calls BRP. Wouldn't you think BRP would have some history of this type problem and suggest what needs replacing? Seems like the tech needs BRP to approve anything he wants to try.

Another week or more without a ryde. Good thing the RT isn't my only means of transportation.

BRP are you listening to any of this!!!

I'd have a look at the crank sensor as mentioned in post #18

Got the back yesterday after being in the shop for four weeks. Took it for a 65 mile ride and didn't experience the problem. The shop finally found a vacuum leak and replaced the purge valve.

They sure took the tough way around that mountain. The problem is the symptoms you had can be caused by any number of things. Swapping out parts till you find the culprit is the old school way of doing it. But computers can only tell you so much.

Simple problem, just hard to find. Glad you got your ride back for the summer!

I know how frustrating all the waiting & failed fixes can be

Hopefully, this time is it & you get to ENJOY the ryde again
