My 01 Rubicon stalls out when towing somebody. I will hear the engine rev up high then it will stall out. So then I have to use the way to start it in drive, while holding on the brake so I dont make any slack in the rope. Any help on this? thanx

 

man, i would be taking that thing back, ours has never did that, we pulled a car with it here while back, and it never stalled out, the only trouble it did have was traction.

 

I just purchased a 2003 Rubicon and I'm having problems with it stalling a lot when under a load. Got hung up in some mud, tires spinning, not moving....let off throttle to change direction and the machine stalled every time. Brought it back to dealer for 3rd time and they are baffled! They called Honda and they never heard of this happening. It's to a point now that I know what will make it stall out. Hitting throttle going up an incline, or in water, or mud, then letting go of throttle will make it stall every time (cold or warm). Idle is right at spec - 1,400 rpm's.

Hold both brake levers in, hit throttle for a bit and let off; will stall almost every time.
