• 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.

Running Rough Back Fire Gearing Down

Good Morning:

I have a 2012 Spyder RT SM5 which I purchased new and now has 43.000 miles.

Had problems with it running rough some time back, took it to dealer who said they found some water in fuel system and added something to gas. After that, I had new plugs and wires, from Baja Ron installed, new fuel filter, air filter installed.

Also, I did a evap canister bypass some time back due to gas fumes in my garage.

Ran better for a while, now worse than ever. Runs great a 70, but low speeds it is missing and as stated, backfires using gears to slow down, particularly at low speeds. Had MAP sensor hoses replaced by a BRP tech at Spyderfest about three years ago, it was throwing error codes.

Wondering if the hoses could be bad again? I did not ask, but assumed he replaced them with better quality hoses.
Anyone have any idea what size tube to use to replace these?

Have about a 700 mile trip soon, and the dealers are backed up at least three weeks, as usual.

Thanks!
 
I'd do two things:
Give it a healthy dose (two OZ per gallon) of Berryman's B12 Chemtool in the gas.
If that doesn't make a significant improvement after 50 miles or so, then I'd be checking to be sure that none of the vacuum/vent hoses have come loose.

SeaFoam is NOT an acceptable substitute for a GOOD fuel system cleaner.

Thanks. Just checked the MAP sensor hoses. They are fine, no cracks, seated well. Will check the other side on the vapor canister side. Other than that, no idea about any other vacuum hoses..

BAD advice. Really bad.
Your typical bottle of fuel cleaner/stabilizer is intended to treat about TWENTY FIVE gallons of fuel, not 5.
Putting in 5 times the recommended amount is almost guaranteed to make it run bad.......even if it was not before.
