2021 P1000-5 with 1 mile on the odometer. It came out of the crate last week and I loaded it up from the dealer in a blizzard on Saturday (3/20/21), fired up and ran fine as it went onto the trailer. 6 hour drive home and when I got home it will barely idle and dies when I try to put it into gear, or if I manage to get it moving it dies when I hit the brakes to come to a stop. It will rev up to high rpm and sounds fine up above 1.5k rpm, but then it drops back down to like 500rpm and sputters.
If I didn't live 6 hours from the dealer, and it wasn't Sunday I would have already taken it back to fix. Right now being Sunday I thought I'd check a few more simple things like battery voltage and connections, oil, spark plugs, IACV plug, fuel injector plugs and TPS plug. I pulled all of those off and plugged back in securely. No luck there. The spark plugs were BLACK, one was wet and one was dry. I cleaned them both with brake clean and a wire brush and put them back in. It fired right up but went right back to a rough idle and dying. I pulled the plugs again and only one was black, the other was nice and clean and dry. That was is baffling because the first time I pulled them both were black, so if it was a problem with just one cylinder I would have thought only one would look bad.
It has all of 1 hour of run time at this point and 3 miles on the odometer from running up and down my driveway trying to get it to run right. I'll be taking it to a closer dealer to me Tuesday it looks like. I thought I'd put this out here in case someone in the future has the same issue. I'll report back what the dealer ends up finding.
