2005 Polaris Ranger shuts down when hot

Starts up fine when cold, but when it warms up, it shuts down like it's running out of gas. After sitting for 10 - 20 minutes, it will start back up and run fine till it heats back up again and then the problem repeats itself. It almost acts like it's not getting any spark. It's very frustrating.

I had the same problem. Changed fuel pump 2 x and still had problem. After hours of work discovered that the fuel line gets hot after riding or heavy use and then it causes what I would call vapor lock. I remove the plug on the fuel line where you would check fuel pressure, place the hose in a gas can then QUICKLY turn on the key then turn off the key. It pumps out fuel clearing the line. I then re plug the line and put everything back together. Then it starts right up. Then it works until it happens again & i repeat the process and carry on...lol ( on top of the fuel tank where it splits is where I disconnect it)

Could be the coil pack going bad or fuel pump. Find the coil pack and spray water on the outside of it. Not a lot just a stream to keep it cool. It should be on top. Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woE4OIhCvAs

SOURCE: polaris trouble codes

The Machine is new, do you have a warranty? Has the machine been sitting for a while? If so, a professional carb/fuel system cleaning and a new spark plug should take care of it.

I WOULD take it o the dealer and find out what the code means!!

I HAVE A 2005/ RANGER500 4X4 AND THE COOLING FAN IS NOT COMING ON, CAUSINGTEMP LIGHT IN DASH TO COME ON. ANY IDEAS?

First check coolant level and correct if low. Sometimes this is all it is. If not, the cooling fan comes on due to a water temp sensor switch. Local auto parts place AutoZone, O'Reilly, Advance can help you find it. Probably bad. The other problem of dead battery is something staying on after car is shut off. Look for aftermarket electronics wired to a non-switched source.

Why does my Ranger not start properly?

Try replacing the solenoid, which is attached to the starter.
To test, run it until hot,let it sit for 5 minutes, try to start. Then, go and tap the solenoid with a hammer ,and try to start again. I bet you it will crank over.

Have a ploaris 400 2005 turns on runs great for bout 20 minutes then shuts down. wait bout 15 minutes will start and run again for a short time. What is the problem

most likely a fuel issue. has it been sitting up ? if so if its got a carb it prob gummed up, pour some seafoam into the gas tank with fresh gas and run it, try and keep it running with the throttle, it might clear some varnish out the carb if it not too bad, if tht dont work and it is a carb engine then the carb will have to be removed and cleaned. if it a FI engine then you got a bad full pump more than likely

I have a 2005 Polaris 700 EFI. Recently it has started failing to run after a few hours of operation. It sounds like it is starving for fuel or is choking out. It will run (spit and sputter for several...

mine did the same thing & then it finaly quit running altogether...the gas gauge stoped showing in the display also. I pulled the old fuel pump out & replaced it with one out of a 97 ford areostar witch has an almost indentical pump & now the machine runs like new...and my gas gauge started showing again & I saved myself 500 bucks because the pump i used was gave to me...lol
