Happy Holidays everyone. I'm new to the board but not new to the brand. I own a 2007 Electra Glide and most recently I scored a sweet deal on a 2001 Softail.

And thats at a where the problem lies at the moment. I got it home and promptly tore into it to see what the PO had done before I got to doing my own thing. It has a Revtech DFO on it (not familiar with that at all) and had this awful chrome intake with the ********* hanging off each side. I am getting this cough out of the throttle body and then the idle goes haywire until it sputters and dies. When I took the intake off there was no gasket between the bracket and throttle body or bracket and intake. I'm assuming this might be the culprit. I also noticed the IAC was blacker than a lying, cheating, stealing woman's heart so I cleaned that with some qtips and alcohol. I won't be running this until Thursday when my new, less awful looking intake arrives.

For now, here is the video of what it is doing.

Let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks for your help and have a great Christmas.

 

As ugly as the ********* are, they are venting your bike to atmosphere.....that is a good thing!

Sounds like it is time to check all the sensors, IAC, TPS, MAP, ET, etc....

 

DFO? IAC? *********? What you talking about?

 

DFO is the Revtec tuner, IAC is the Idle Air Control, ********* are the filters/catch cans for venting the head to atmosphere....

 

Welcome. When you mentioned ********* and cough in the write up I started looking for the punch line.
