You're welcome. I have some manuals, but I don't have one for the Rancher 400. You can download one from here Honda TRX400 Rancher 400 service manual repair 2004-2007 - Download Technical for $7.

Not sure what to suggest, but ranchers have angle sensor problems a lot.

I agree. I can't say for sure, but there's a good chance you just need a new angle sensor. A repair manual would tell you how to test the angle sensor.

I don't have a repair manual for the 400 Rancher, but I can post the instructions for checking the 350 Rancher angle sensor. I don't know if it would be the same or not, but here it is anyway.
