It seemed the intake valve was too tight.

Sorry, I didn't take pictures. I've put it back together, but yes I had the valve cover off and adjusted the intake valve. Once I turned it over taking out the injector, fuel blew out of the intake/injector hole. My fear is the intake valve is failed somehow.

I have a no start on my UXV. While checking we pulled the injector and turned it over. The intake valve appears stuck open for some reason and blows fuel out during cycling. Any ideas on what is wrong and a cost to fix? I'm not mechanical, but my buddy that checked it is very qualified. Just wandering if I should sell it as is or pursue repair.

Thanks,
Kevin

Replaced ECU and it runs fine now.

Crossbolt,

I appreciate all your help!

He checked all of these points and it all points back to the ECU. I ordered one.

Are ECU failures common?

Yes the engine cranks, but checked and I have no fuel pump or spark. What, other than fuses and relays, could it be other than the ECU?

I had a mechanic friend check the unit. He found the fuses and all relays good. I have no spark either. We were able to get the fuel pump to come on with direct power. When you turn the key the CEL does not light up to check codes manually. He's thinking the ECU is bad. Any input? Suggestions on where to get a new ECU? Is the ECU plug and play or will it need to be programmed?
Are there any common ground fault locations I should check?

I just checked the power on the fuel pump. It appears that I'm not getting power to the fuel pump. Does anybody have a link to a wiring diagram?

I have a no turn on fuel pump. Anyone cross reference a replacement?

Side By Side / UXV500i first repair needed

« on: July 05, 2016, 12:49:27 PM »

So we made a hard left turn and flipped her. All wearing seat belts but I tweaked something in my shoulder area that's slowly getting better.

ANYWAY, I tried to epoxy the broken right rear tail light mounting tabs back into place with no luck. When mounting the light again they just snapped off. So I set everything down, go in to fume about now needing to buy the right rear fender and a new tail light then I had an idea - Great Stuff? I got a can and encapsulated the tail light to the fender (hell, you can't see it from the outside anyway). After a bit of trimming it seems to be working. The light is tight in place and has stayed there for a few test rides. Thought I'd share in case anyone else makes this kind of mistake and is a tight wad!

Backwards sounds like your inclination, so go with it! I also back my UXV500i in but mainly so I can fuel it since fuel door is on the same side as my truck. Have fun!
