06 m6 almost missing

I have an 06 m6 wifes sled that usually runs great but in the last few rides it is like it would just start missing or like you hit the kill switch you can hold smooth constant throttle and sometimes it misses and sometimes it is like you hit the kill switch for a brief second any ideas would help, I was told it could be throttle position sensor but not sure if there is any way of testing I havent tried injector cleaner or water remover I put some in the first ride but not sure if it needs it agian. any ideas would be usefull thanks
 
Check your thumb throttle. Make sure the thumb thottle moves freely enough on the axel pin to accuate the sensor top and bottom. My '07 m8 has done this to me twice. First time the axel was iced up all together and wouldn't allow the thumb to trip the sensor.
Saturday's experience was exactly like you're describing. Pulling a hill and all of a sudden it would kill, then go, then kill. The bottom of the axel was moving freely, but the top had some ice in it and had no play.

Hope this makes sense.
 
Frostbite, I'm definately not an expert, but it's worth checking.
The first time mine acted up was after sitting for lunch. Started fine, but wouldn't even throttle enough to engage the clutches. Just bogged and died unless you let it back to idle. That time the thumb axel was stuck in place completely by ice. Removed the ice, and away i went.
This last time, as the bottom of the axel was free, it completely depended on how my thumb was pressuring the throttle. If I pushed with a slight downward pressure, it would run fine. Pushing with an upward pressure it would kill as the upper part of the axel was frozen in place.
Mine wasn't much of a sputter at all, but more of a "kill-switch" type feel.

Your issue may be something else.
