• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Check Engine light

First Spyder

New member
Have an issue that the check engine light is on. Code PO175 showed when I checked. I called the dealer and they said bad fuel. Ran with light on until under a half tank. Dealer said to add SeaFoam in the tank with fresh gas. The light is still on . I have taken it to the dealer 4 times this year. I just hit 5,300 miles. Time for a trade I think. I have a 2011 RTS. Any feed back? What's wrong with this Spyder?

This may help you.

p0175 is system too rich cylinder number 2. this usually points to a fouled or failing o2 sensor on the rear cylinder. i would suggest new plugs and ignition wires at the same time.

My Spyder was at the dealer for 5 weeks and they could not figure out check engine light.
I told them to replace the 2 map sensor hoses. They did and light out and it ran perfect.
do a search on this site for
Vacuum hose failure
Map sensor tubing
Than go to NAPA and buy Silicon hose #H466 about $10.00 and replace the 2 vacuum hoses cut to the same factory length. For $10.00 you don't have much to loose as they go bad.

:agree:....here is what happens and they do get worse

Agreed, and continue with the Seafoam. You have a severely under-used Spyder. Not uncommon to have a sticky / dirty injector at all. Give the stuff some time to work. Search the forum for P0175.
