2010 POLARIS Ranger 6x6 800 EFI Repairs

[Keepfixinit]

Just joined the Forum. I use the 6x6 for work at property several hours from where I live. It has been a really good UTV for what I use it for.  Having to do more & more repairs and parts replacement. Being that I can only work on it when I travel to the farm, I need to diagnose, the order parts to install on a subsequent trip.  Hoping to be able to get advice, tips, lessons learned from QUADCRAZY Members. . I have am trying to learn how to do diagnostics, proper repairs, proper parts replacement, etc. At some point, I would like to purchase another 6x6 and get it in great shape as well. If any of you have a Ranger 4x4 or 6x6 800 EFI, I would be pleased to hear from you. Certainly would like to pick your brain regarding current issues I'm having. Thanks in advance.

My latest issue is with the engine revving wildly all by itself. For now I'm assuming its a bad TPS sensor or connector. Ordering a TPS sensor from Polaris is $250+.     Should I use only the OEM TPS Sensor or is there a good aftermarket sensor that will work just as well for a lot less $$$.               Looking to purchase a Diagnostic Tool. Found a CHECKTECH POLARIS Diagnostic Tool online at OTBPOWERSPORTS. Anyone familiar with the CHECKTECH and have comment or have advice about a different brand?         Thanks again.

I don't have one or know much about any of them in particular, but I know that you can do quite a bit of diagnostics using the service manual and the dashboard display on most of them.

The engine anyway is fairly well supported.. the EPS maybe not so much.
