Default Plug Wire Help pls.

I have an '04 Heritage Classic

I wanted coloured plug wires so I ordered Accels ...then tried SE wires.
Both sets of wires make the engine light come on and I get the code..
P1353 Front Cylinder No Cumbustion EFI
( The code is not accurate because the bike is working fine....but the engine light stays on. )

When I clear the code and put my stock wires back on....the problem goes away.

Now I have a blue set of Accels and a red set of SE wires but can't use them. ( can't ride with the engine light on all the time. )

I'd appreciate any comments.....thanks

Grab an ohmmeter and check the resistance of all the wires and see if the factory wires have a different resistance than the aftermarket one. A change in resistance can cause ECUs to get confused.

I think you need different wires. Here is a set that will work.

yes, wires are not made for your year model. i believe there is a thread in the forum about this same issue.

The wires are probably causing false anti-knock/ION signals to the ecu. Replace them.

thanks but now I'm gun-shy about buying another set.

The Acells (sp?) were 'supposedly' made for my bike.....didn't work
Parts manager at local dealer.. guaranteed me the SE wires would be good....didn't work.

I will probably still order the ones you suggest, ( 3rd. attempt )

thanks,
