My 06 street glide flhxi has erratic idle and sometimes stalls out. Also on occasion misses a bit on acceleration. Any suggestions would be great?

Just tell your buddies you put a cam in.
I'm not expert, but I would look at something like one of the sensors. Is it called iac? I'd clean the two in the throttle body. Easy enough and may help.

Thanks nzhd. I was starting to think that the IAC may be acting up. Just started this spring. I will start there.
Cheers!

hey no problem. just remember. I'm no expert. and you may need the proper sensor cleaner in the spray can, to be safe.

Recently had the exact same problem. Couldn't find anything wrong (no codes). Took it to the dealer to have it hooked up and tested. Problem was loose spark plug wires. (Didn't think of that.)

You might want to check your spark plug wires...

Just sayin'

Max resistance of spark plug wire = 5 Kohms.

What's a IAC sensor?
