Default PC3 help

Bought a used Power commander for my Heritage
worked great for 600 miles
yesterday the bike just started dying under load,
it would idle fine, rev up fine, let the clutch out & it would dye???
I disconnected it & ran fine with the factory set up
???
Any idea where to look
Thanks for your help

Ken check all connectors and try downloading a new map from www.powercommander.com. If that does not work contact dynojet or an authorized dynojet service provider. Hopefully it something simple. Good luck.

Did you wash your bike or did it get wet at all?

No no wash
everything was dry when I took it apart
was about 1/2 way into a 40 minute trip when it happened
no kind ow warning just wouldn't pull (at all under load)
Idled fine would rev up fine let the clutch out to go & it would dye
even revving high it would dye
???
I think the bike is telling me I should have gone with Mastertune??
thanks for replies
FYI
2008 FLSTC
Rush slip ons

A PC3 on an 08 bike?
I'm not sure that is recommended.

With the current whisperings of EPA involvement with cycle tuning, a large number of tuners (in controlled counties) have opted to go with the PC5 (with the optional autotune module) that way the bike can be returned to original in 15 min. Kalifornia dealers are selling their dynos, I was told (to avoid the blowback when the law changes).

Doesn't PA has the strictest auto inspection program?
