I'm having hell with my rhino it is 700 fuel injected , I completely rebuilt the engine new crankshaft, piston ,valves , and water pump gears and chain , new spark plug , oil and filter and headgasket set ! Now my problem when I crank it up it will idle for just a second and the it won't idle on its on I have to keep my foot on the pedal or it will die , so I adjusted the throttle plate , and tips according to factory spec and still same problem and idle air valve sensor gets really hot , so I purchased one off a running machine and still same thing so I purchased another just to make sure but same thing , also replaced the intake air pressure sensor but no help , at first the dash was displaying code 37 but when I replaced iac sensor it went out but still want idle on its on , I've been a mechanic for over 20 years are master certified so I know alittle bit about repairs but this dam rhino the book doesn't tell you enough to actually be able to check certain things , I have good compression and my valves are adjusted right and machine has plenty of power going down road but the idle problem is crazy , I'm wondering if I have a computer problem because everything in the throttle body has been replaced and it is clean and all ? I notice the idle valve is getting really hot when I take it out it is fully open , if I crank it with it still plugged in but take out the throttle body machine will idle up and the valve I can watch it move out , if I had to say I would think with it in the throttle body that the computer is telling it to open constantly so that's why it is getting hot , also the manual says the intake air pressure sensor is suppose to have certain reading on volt meter but it is ready below what the book calls for that is why I replaced it but the new one reads the same thing any help I would be thankful .

Yes I did all that I started at 15 and tried it all the way to 20 and still no help , I don't think it is right with the iac sensor getting really hot either . I checked and cleaned air filter made sure it was no blockage Anywere going to throttle body and all .
When I worked at dealership years ago before I went in to business for myself al I did was driveability , I wasn't a parts replacer . I don't like throwing parts at it till its fixed I have took all the reading from the sensors on the throttle body that the manual calls for and there all within spec . Only thing I haven't checked yet is fuel pressure but I would think that would cause it to run like crap always . I have checked the spray pattern of the fuel injector and it is good and there isn't any leaking fuel like a stuck open injector or anything . I pulled all the wiring out the fuse box under hood and went thru all of it changed relays out , and went thru all the wiring at the throttle body to make sure not open Anywere .

It's not the fuel pressure. There was a user with similar issues and it turned out to be the spark plug which is weird. Something wrong with the idle circuit. I know if I ever get my efi setup on my rhino, the first thing I'm going to do is bypass the iac sensor.
Yeah I know for sure it's not the spark plug , at first when I went to replace spark plug after redoing motor they only had one that was one heat range colder said to use till the other one come in I did it and it was idling bad then I got the right spark plug bran new and still same problem . What I'm guessing is that the computer gets the reading from the intake air pressure sensor and then tells the iac to open or close according to pressure and I put a brand new intake air pressure sensor in it , I'm thinking it has to be the computer not working right .
No how the iac works is that there is a hole in the filter side of the throttle body that feeds air to the iac valve then when it opens it goes thru to the intake side of the throttle body allowing more air without the butter flys actually opening . I heard one person say on another site that they filled the holes with silicone , I'm about to the point of trying that .
Yeah I understand that , I restore boats for a living now and I have built a lot of carbs on inboards and outboards and adjusted the mixture screw , I just got in from trying to mess with it some more I did pull out the iac valve and plug the holes temporary and I actually got the idle to adjust were I don't have to keep my foot on it and can get it to go in gear without it grinding from being idled up so high , I drove it down the road and it ran fine came back and it idled fine still and then I checked made sure the tps was still in specs and I noticed it had 3 code a 13 , 15 , 37 and a couple more . I also remember before I done all this and got the new iac valve put in it had a **** load of codes about 5 of them and every sensor checked out fine , I would about bet that the computer is causing all the problems if I had someone close I would borrow one to see because I hate throwing away a couple hundred dollars if that isn't it . And if it was totally possible I would just about find a carb and put on this thing , it would be better then this junk they call fuel injection !
Ok I may have figured something else out I was going thru the dash diagnostic and when I try to do the one for code 37 for the iac valve it is suppose to actuate the valve and it doesn't do anything except the fuel pump starts running and that isn't right there is a few didn't numbers I can go thru like to see all the codes and the fuel pump will come on with them also , there is one code check and that is the only one that is suppose to start the fuel pump so I don't understand why when I'm checking all the other code checks the computer is turning on the fuel pump ? I think something is screwed up in this computer , also I know this rhino once under water at one time by the previous owner he had it snorkeled above the roof and inside the battery box were all the fuses are was soaked and full of mud there was some mud in the throttle body also when I got it , he just kelt running it till he blew it up . I have went thru all the wiring and fixed a couple wires and cleaned every terminal and plug up inside the ecu / computer plugs was mud and I cleaned all it up , I removed all the snorkels and put everything back factory , when I got it the bottom of the piston skirt was busted out , he has removed the thermostat and hot wired the fan and kept running it and the main problem was the water pump and oil pump runs on a chain and gears inside the motor and the chain and gears were worn out chain wouldn't stay on gears so it wasn't pumping oil or water ! I fixed everything , I have even replaced all the axles he had 3 that was busted . I can't stand it when people rig stuff up !

Nah, only needs a water temp sensor. We pull everything else off the bikes to minimize them for racing.
I still can't get this dang rhino to idle on it's on , I read the post about plugin the hole to the iac valve and I done that and adjusted the idle and drove it ran good would finally idle well next day same crap want idle on it's on again ?
