2006 Arctic Cat M7 It Lives! The Fix For The Dead Cat!

- Finally found the issue with the non-running Arctic Cat M7! This case was it died on the trail and would not re-fire! After going through every electrical component I found a temperature sensor on the bottom PTO side of the engine to be way out of spec! This was replaced and seemed to fix the no-start issue!
Thanks for watching!

My sled ran great the next day it did what yours was doing I've already swapped stator ecu and everything else handlebars you name it except the temp sensor I'm glad i watch this gives me one more chance thanks
These sleds are so finicky! Hopefully yours keeps running good!
Happy you got it, you deserve it after all that! Hopefully you get it out on the snow soon! Appreciate the update
I hope so to! Thank you!
so happy for you!! well done!
Thank you!!
Glad you found the problem.
Yeah me too! All the trouble for a little sensor!
Electrical can sure be a pest. The dealer has a scan tool they will plug in that will look at all the systems and tell you exactly where you have an issue. Unfortunately I'm cheap and the dealer is 200 miles away, so I have to look up resistance on every system and check them individually. Glad you found the bug!
Yeah it sure can be a pest! Thank you for watching!
Nice Video! Just picked up a 03 f7 so this video will help me out a lot. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
Good Job!! Way to figure it out!
Ohhh I’ve been waiting for this!!!!
What sensor is this called? I heard Temp Sensor. My m7 was having what I thought was an injector problem as it wouldn’t run unless it was sprayed with ether.
Its the ecm engine temp sensor. They have 2 engine temperature sensors on them, one for the light and one for the ecm! And its on the very bottom of the engine.
Would this possibly be why my 2015 never turns on the temperature light ever??
It might possibly be, you can test it by ohming it out. I'm not sure if that year has one or two sensors for the temp. You can get the wire schematics off of Country Cat.
@@HeidisGarage I believe there is 4 sensors that control temp it’s very confusing
Yeah they like to over complicate them! You could test it by unplugging them one by one and seeing if it throws a code or turns the temp light on!
Wouldn’t it throw a code if out of spec?
wouldn't run long enough to even flash the dash to show the codes. I'm not sure if this one will even throw a code for this sensor either and not just the water temp sensor for the dash.
Pry bar doing pry bar things lol
Oh yeah! Didn't have a puller so that was the next best thing!
Lol definitely improvised! Glad you got it going though
Would have been a much better video if you had broken it up into parts.. I just bought an 09 crossfire with an intermittent spark issue… I read that there’s a fuel adjuster on the throttle body where the bolt that holds it in place can come loose.. so I would have liked to have seen that… also would have liked a close up view of you hooking up the fuel injection lines and how you adjust the injection.. also how the hell you get that rubber boot or feels more like a hard plastic boot to move back out of the way to get the throttle body out and back in.. looks like you completely removed yours from the metal housing.. maybe make an access panel in the belly to access that temp sensor without pulling the motor… wish I could find a detailed disassembly and reassemble video on these sleds… never got to ride mine this winter due to no snow and can’t sell it for the same reason.. so figured I turn it into a learning experience this summer… if I can’t get it back together I’ll just part it out… glad your happy
I have never heard of that adjuster. The 09 is a different motor than what is in this sled so I'd assume it has different throttle body/injectors. My fuel injector lines are just zipped tied to the injectors, nothing more than sticking the line on the injector and throwing a zip tie around it. You can maybe adjust some of the injection with the throttle sensor but otherwise you have to get a boondocker box. The rubber boot on mine slips in and out fairly easily so not sure how yours is on the 09. I could make an access panel if I knew that was the issue on it before pulling the motor, but they are not hard to remove.
Does yours throw any codes? I would check the taillight harness and the TSS if I were you. Is it intermittent when it gets hot?
I meant oil injection lines..
@@HeidisGarage I meant oil injection.. I only got to ride it once for two hours… there’s no snow so I can’t test ride it further.. I’ve since replaced a coil and taped up two bare spots on the wires feeding two of the coils… the previous owner replaced the stator, ECU & injectors then gave up.. I doubt it’s the throttle sensor as that would be to simple and is usually the first thing everyone checks
WOO!
Never thought it was the temp senor but I guess I was wrong about grounds
Yeah it was the only component that I could find that was out of spec!
