Good day I am helping my grandfather with his mule. He had it in a river and it has not worked right since.

-first we drained all the fulids and replaced with new.

-disconnected all connectors and cleaned and dried

-once we got everything dried out we got it running but very rough

- a friend has a similar model so we tried a few sensors, switched cpu and in the end found out that the throttle body was giving use problem and after talking to the dealer they said that it had to be replaced

- we replaced the throttle body and now we have a different issue

to start we have to give it a little gas(just touch the gas peddle) but

once started it idles very high and stays high, if we give it more gas it loses all power but continues to run.

have tried to adjust the idle but stalls as soon as you lower the idle

it is idling too high to shift into gear as well

pulled off the fuel line and the pump seems to be pushing lots of fuel so i don't think it is the pump( but i have not ruled it out completely)

I have been given a few ideas such as

-the air temp sensor( not to sure about that but if i short out the connector this should bypass the sensor right?)

-I have been told to test the injectors ( what pattern should i look for I am thinking circular but want to confirm)

-I have been told to re-seat the valves( not sure how this would cause it to idle high)

any help is much appreciated thank you

      Want a new work UTV; who and what should I look for?
      By FTG-05
      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!

      Washing Mule Underbody
      By rsar
      Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone pressure washes their Mule underbody. Three years in, I have yet to do this. I'm worried that the pressure washer could damage or dislodge something but it's gotten to the point that it could use a bath. Any thoughts?

      2510 Kawasaki mule Diesel
      By TjB
      My dad has recently acquired a 2510 Kawasaki mule Diesel powered. It worked fine  few weeks and then quit driving. Put a new belt on just to see. Still not driving. It already had a new clutch. Belt turns when in drive or reverse and back wheels are off ground to test. But wheels not turning. Thoughts?

      Mule 4010 trans overheating
      By Will D
      Hello, I have a mule 4010 trans that appeared to overheat based on the temperature light on the dash and it went into limp mode.  No steam though.  After letting it cool and the next day, I drove it around quite a bit and it did not have any problems.  Any ideas on this.  Do thermostats work intermittently?  I would like to fix the problem, looking for advice.  Many thanks

      Kawasaki Mule Cab Eclosure
      By rsar
      So I finally got my Quad Gear cab enclosure after waiting out the backorder for three months and to say it's been a huge disappointment is a pretty big understatement. I think mostly because I could make it work, if not for one major issue. The windshield is right next to impossible to see out of. It's a real headscratcher because the side and rear windows are okay. It's not high quality 30 or 40 gauge marine vinyl but I have Quad Gear's stand-alone winshield so I knew it wasn't the best in terms of visibility, but definitely doable for the price.  Incredibly, the side and rear windows of the cab eclosure are just as clear as the stand-alone windshield. And the windshield on the enclosure is like 50 percent worse than the stand-alone. It's the same company! I don't get it. If it had just been the rear windshield that was that bad I would have kept it. There are some creases and wrinkles here and there, but I've been using the stand-alone  windshield for the past three months so it's good enough not to have to shell out $600 plus for the stock hard windshield. I'd put visibility at about 65- 70 percent. The wife hates it though, which is a pretty big negative. In any case, my original plans were to have an upholsterer change the crappy vinyl out for the high quality stuff and I even sent it to a guy who ended up flaking out on me and refusing to do it. He said he didn't want to charge me $400 for something I paid $200 for.  Long story, short, I decided to return it and just get the insanely expensive Kawasaki enclosure next winter since the frigid temps here are about to start climbing in a couple weeks anyway. I first put it on just to see how it would look (I took pics of course) and found that it didnt even seal 100 percent and made it drafty inside the cab. So make that two major issues. At least with the stock enclosure everything will be top flight. Doors will be nice too.
