2011 xp550 WON'T IDLE AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES

I have a problem where after I start xp it runs great for 2 mins then it will stall or if I hold throttle it will stay running but will be very rough. I will shut er down, wait a minute then restart and it will run good again for a couple minutes. I adjusted throttle gap and it was fine.You can set a clock to it...
How can this be so perfect timing. Is the computer shot? I brought it in the dealer and the damb thing ran good for them . They looked it all over ,put it on there tester too.

Sometimes it will set a error code of 102 4 which is a map sensor .

Can someone PLEASE HELP.. I need this thing going for a ride this weekend and I don't want a polaris to be the P.O.S. of you know what I meen. Thanks for everyones help..

The map sensor is a primary reading for idle quality and a bad signal would also cause rough running. It would be rare for the sensor itself to go bad. It could be be dirty, especially if you use an oiled filter like K&N. Clean it with electronics cleaner and a cotton swab but be gentle. 80% of efi problems are wiring. Check the wiring for chafing and broken wires.

Also make sure the vent lines to the fuel tank are not pinched or clogged.

I got the new sensor in the mail today. I'm back on the trails. Actually got a hold of ocillioscope and put it on the bad sensor and I could see that it was clipping low after a minute of running. THE NEW SENSOR DID NOT CLIP LOW.The sensor was definitely bad.
