Possible you could have weak fuel pump. You can hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and see if holds around 39 psi with out any drop in pressure.If pressure holds steady then you may have a wiring or sensor problem. Plus if you haven't had the breather update done you might check if the air box/filter is oily.Plus if you don't have a service manual this one can help along with helping on codes,service,etc. 2009 Polaris Sportsman XP 850 Service Manual PDF Download Worst case scenario is to have it hooked up to Digital Wrench to locate the problem. Usually a 1/2 to 1 hr service charge can save you hrs of frustration trying to find out what's wrong on efi machines.
