I have a pioneer 500 the neutral light blinks and check engine lights on starts but can not shift into gear try to step on gas and engine dies just looking to see if someone may have ran into this problem before?

Does the Gear indicator blink. (Where it shows N,R, etc) or is the Neutral light blinking?

Yeah blinking where it shows N and R.

The number of blinks corresponds to a code that could help direct you to the issue.

Turn key on it blinks one time then 8 times straight

Since there isn't a code 18, it appears you have code 8. Which is a Throttle Position sensor code.

The quickest check is to see if its unplugged. On the left side of the throttle body (in front of the airbox) is a 5 pin plug pointed downward. If it appears to be fully plugged in you may try unplugging and then plugging it back. Do Not Remove It From The Throttle Body.

Picture for reference:

If that doesn't do it, then there may be an issue with the sensor itself.

What year?

Just wanted to chime in here and say what an awesome site this is. Not many places you can log into on a Saturday morning and get this kind of help.

Yes they can be removed and replaced. Depending on the size the pins they can be a real pain.

These are a pain to get apart.

We do have a pigtail in the club store.

IACV connector for Honda SxS/UTV Honda Pioneer!

The IACV valve found on most all Fuel Injected Honda ATVs and SXS's has a habit of going bad. The issue for the Pioneer line is the wire will break inside the insulation causing a non-visible fault. Once you cut the head off the wire will fall apart. Our kit includes upgraded 18 AWG wiring...

I believe the connector he has is the 5 pin TPS connector. Similar to the 4 pin.

I see.
I have some 5 pin for the MAP/throttle sensor also if you need.

Thanks.
