'01 600 efi Mcat won't idle

Where should I look first? The sled won't idle after it's warmed up. With carbs there is an idle screw I can adjust not sure where to look on the cat efi setup. If you let off the gas rpms drop until the sled shuts off. Runs GREAT when your riding around though.
 
Check the throttle safety switch at the handle bars. Sometimes the switch sticks and that will cause the engine to not idle... At least that's what happens on some carb. models.

huh it's efi, there is no throttle safety switch on the bars that i'm aware of
 
there is a throttle safety switch. Check to see if the temp sensor is hooked up on the air box and the water temp sensor at the top of motor at the thermostat. There is two one for the overheat light and one for the EFI. Also if you look at the back of the EFI box there is a red led that may be blinking a code out.
 
Every sled built after the sixties has a stuck throttle switch. Ever notice how the throttle seems to move funny where it mounnts at the base? There'e your sign.
