Looking for any ideas on what may have happened.
Today I started my Pioneer 2016,1000/3, 350 hours, pulled it out of the garage, waited about 10-15 seconds and stepped on the gas. I heard a loud pop, like a loud backfire, gunshot.
So, I drove it around the yard and took it out on the street to make sure everything is OK. Usually I can get it up to 64 mph, but it would only go to 54 this time. I drove it off the street, put it in park and stepped on the gas. It quit. I started it again, it started, but when I put it in gear, it quit. After a couple of tries, it ran and got it back to the house.
It starts fine, when you get into gear, and try to run it, it sounds like it is choking and won't reach max RPM. The shifting feels different as well. Something is not right.
I didn't see any fluids leaking from underneath and didn't see any obvious problems. However something is wrong.
Looking for ideas.
Thank you in advance.
