I need some help. I've got a 2018 P1000-3. Here lately it's started idling bad. When you crank it up it does fine. After a few minutes of running, if I stop it still idles fine but then it changes tone like it bogs down. Then it'll pick back up and idle right. If it bogs down and I try to move it spits/pops and goes dead. It cranks right back up but it doesn't want to move. I've found the best way is to start it in low with my foot on the brake. I've drained the gas tank and put in all non-ethanol gas and some Seafoam in case I had water in my tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Donnie

Try new spark plugs... And wiggle the injector wires right at the injectors, see if it changes tone. Those are known to be a problem.
