I have almost the same issue as John.    Parked my 2022 Coleman 400, (seatbelts crossed and hooked up continuously) then it refused to start until pressing the gas pedal.  Stalls when I let up on the gas.  Checked connections on seat belts( where is the seat belt limiter?), removed all connectors and sprayed with electrical cleaner.  Changed MAF sensor, checked fuel flow (new fuel filter), good spark checked with inline tester (new spark plug).  

As I understand it, the MAF is also a temp sensor that determines if it’s a cold or hot start and schedules fuel accordingly?  About a month ago on first start of the day it cranked but no start.  Pulled MAF connector , sprayed and it started right up.  When it happened again 2 days ago I ordered a new sensor to help eliminate possibilities after cleaning didn’t work.

Does the ECM fail on these at times?  Ive had to replace the water temp fan relay and I’m just wondering if the sensors and electrical control are the primary fail points of the 400?
If someone with experience on this rascal could elaborate it would be greatly appreciated!

 John I apologize, not trying to hijack your thread it just sounds like a similar problem.

Guys, I think you’re sniffing up the wrong tree with the seat belt limiter. My Vector 500 does this intermittently. While you can start it and keep it running with a little throttle, it will drive fine at any speed as long as you don’t let it idle. If the limiter was working it would not drive. I can’t tell you what it is,yet, but I don’t think it’s that. Mine always resolves itself over a couple stop/start cycles. I’m purchasing a code reader. I’ll let you know if I find anything.

Hey John 

I ended up going back over everything I had already tested (fuel pressure, injector, spark, spark plug, etc).  I pulled the coil and that end of the plug wire had corrosion.  Although my spark tester showed a spark it certainly wasn’t delivering as it should.  It took a week to get the plug wire and I thought I had it for sure.  Nope same problem.  Cranks great but no start.  If I gave it throttle it ran fine but reduced toward idle it quit.  I went back to the throttle body (I had previously taken the induction hose off and checked the air cleaner and sprayed out the throttle body) and this time concentrated on the Idle Air Controller.  I pulled the sensor and the end of it was black with junk.  Cleaned that up then also pulled the MAF sensor (which I had replaced already) and sprayed those out as well.  Where the sensor fits there is an opening that goes into the throttle body and when I sprayed that all sorts of black stuff came out.  I put everything back and tried to start a couple times.  On the 3rd try it started right up, ran snotty for a few seconds, probably due to all the throttle body cleaner, then cleared up and idled perfect.  No problems since 

I hope you got yours working John if not you may want to check the plug wire at the coil.  It may be beneficial to pull that IAC sensor and take a look at that too.

Let me know what you find as it looks like only a question of time before something else happens to mine!  
 

Best,

Scott

I put a new battery in my unit and a new spark plug.  Started it up and it would only run with my foot on the gas pedal.  I drove a little, it stalled, and I restarted it.  This time, it stayed on and idled on its own.  After driving around for a while, it was running as it should.  Not sure what happened, but right now all is good.  Thanks everyone for the help.

This is just a wild guess.. If you are certain the ignition system is OK and performing consistently,   I'd suspect something in the fuel had gotten into the injector and caused the run issues.  I've read where some Hisuns were produced and sold without an in-line fuel filter ahead of the injector, and that these injectors are very sensitive to unclean fuel, acting up with odd running symptoms, or no starts.     Could be yours just managed to digest whatever was in there and now has returned to normal.   You might just order a standby injector in case the issue returns.   Congrats on getting back on the road!

I’m not sure what the black stuff was Pop Bob.. it looked more like a carbon buildup on the sensor tip.  When I took delivery it had some gas in the tank but since then I’ve run only non ethanol from a designated 5 gal gas container.  At the end of the break in along with the recommended maintenance I also changed the in line fuel filter and the air filter too.  The last oil change I replaced both again so I don’t think air or fuel could have been contaminated but who knows?  I’ve got some cables coming so I can hook a laptop up to the ECU for future issues.

Does anyone know how the motor connects to the shaft on the throttle valve inside the throttle body?  There are 2 screws holding it to the body on the exterior but I’m just curious how it disconnects if those screws are removed.  i doubt any of the black stuff came through there but I’m just curious how it hooks up.

I’m glad you got it working again John!

      Coleman UT400 - 6v or 12v battery?
      By Rainman
      I want to put a charger/maintainer for my Coleman UT400 for the winter and need to know if it uses a 6v or 12v battery.
      One search online showed a 6v, but another stated 12v..
      I can look at the battery, but after taking the seat out you cannot see the top of the battery without also removing the top plate under the seat and at 8 degrees outside, I'd rather not be out there too long.
      Can anyone verify what volt (6 or 12) the batter is?
      Thanks in advance ...

      UT400 cutting out mid throttle
      By Homeowner A
      Have an issue all the sudden where the UTV will cut out randomly mid range throttle and under load.  Light consistent throttle on fairly flat ground no problems.  If you quickly change throttle position sometimes it will bog down and cut out, splutter, etc.  Floor it or let off and it may do just fine.  Going up a hill and adding more throttle as the incline demands, will cut out splutter and smell unburnt fuel.  So far doesn't ever completely quit.  If you let off it will idle just fine.  A lot of times if you floor it, it will pick up and even get a boost of power.  Changed to a slightly hotter plug to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't .  Any ideas what might be going on and what to try next?

      I have a Coleman Outfitter 550 purchased in January 2022 that runs and operates pretty well.  65 hours on it so far.   It is a work vehicle for my 10 hilly acres with two 1 acre woods and 5 acres of "lawn".  The rest is under a lake. 
      My parking brake does not seem to have any grip.  It worked when new but after a month or so, it is just almost useless.     I press the parking brake pedal hard until it stops. Still, it won't hold even on slight inclines.   I don't see the caliper move as I press the brake pedal down.  There seems to be plenty of pad left on it and the rotor is shiny as if it is rubbing a little when applied, but not enough to stop it from rolling. 
      Any thoughts on possible causes?

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!
