mid 2000's IQ Villager is stalling after take off
Hello All,
I have a mid 2000's IQ ReGen Villager cart that has recently started stalling after I take off. It happens intermittently, mostly when I push the accelerator all the way down at start. If I ease into the pedal, it seems to have no problem. Do I have a potential problem on my hands? Thanks in advance |

From reading these posts, if yours is electric, I would guess you should look at replacing the MCOR. There are lots of posts about that and they helped me diagnose mine and I replaced it myself. Revolution Golf Cars is a site sponsor and can get you the correct one. They got me fixed up.

Re: mid 2000's IQ Villager is stalling after take off
I finally got around to looking at my cart. While checking the voltage of my batteries, I found 1 battery (the last in the series before the solenoid) that had a completely melted + (positive) battery terminal. The other end showed no signs of damage or over exertion. Has anyone ever seen a battery terminal melted completely through?

Might want to post a picture of your serial number,
not sure if they made a 36 volt regen cart, but I think the melting may be from cable ends, the one I have circled has a larger gauge lug than the cable , just an opinion. |

Re: mid 2000's IQ Villager is stalling after take off
This is extremely common on these vehicles. FYI, it's not a regular IQ car. It's the IQ Plus system. IQ Plus cars use 8 6-Volt batteries and have a 500 amp controller from the factory. Because of the bigger controller, they draw more power and require #4AWG wires on the batteries. Any corrosion on the wires can cause a bad connection. The extra draw due to the larger controller causes a lot more heat than you'd have on a regular golf car. That's what melts the battery posts. You've gotta keep them clean and keep good quality cables on them.

Re: mid 2000's IQ Villager is stalling after take off
thank you all for the ideas...I switched all of my cables when I bought new batteries to two gauge except for that last wire that goes to the solenoid....looks like I will be changing that one too.
Thank you all again! Don W. |
