I just installed my Fuel Moto Power Commander III with my Rush 1.75 Slip Ons. First 8 miles in town. Great.Then out on the hiwayI was just getting relaxed and set in at 55mph. After about3 miles.It died. No backfire, sputter or anything. Just died. Pulled over and prayed. Fired it back up and it spit one time and then ran fine. I made it back home just fine too.

What do you think is wrong?

 

I have heard on numerous occasions that the connection is criticle. Make sure the plug is well seated and secure.
Something like that would makeanyone uneasy when setting out on a long trip.

 

My first guess would be that maybe the connectors aren't fully engaged on the PC. You might try disconnecting them and then reconnecting them, making sure that they're pushed in all theway. It might be possible that one of the connecting lugs in the connector block wasn't fully locked in place and was partially pushed backwhen the connector was installed.

Might be a faulty PC too.

Just guesses on my part.

Good luck,

John

 

+1, I know the connections are very important... Maybe the ECM just had a slight brain fart, like some of us old geezer glide riders do now and then....


Ride safe, Jer

 

I know it is not your problem but my PC on my RKC has sputtered popped and died on three different times. All three times water had found its way into the connecter from the PC to the engine. Undid the plug and blew out the water and it ran fine.

 

Sounds like that might need a bit of silicone sealer on it.

 

those connections need a healthy coating of dialectric grease...so says the destructions

 

remember in the future if you have an issue like this, you can always bypass the pc for troubleshooting purposes, its easy enough to plug/unplug. runs without the pc, but dies with it, then (obviously) you have a bad pc..... the good news is that there aren't that many pcs that are doa.

 

I forgot to tell you guys something. Last weekI put on my Rush 1.75 slip ons, then finally got out, Sunday to run for a 100 mile ride with my orginal HD fuel remap from when I did my big sucker filter intake last year. The bike ran great!!!!! No popping or anything. Then, Monday I put on my PCIII and within 8-10 miles it died.

Went out last night and checked all connections. All looked well.

So I can just unplug my PCIII and plug my stock harness back into my ECM? Then plug back in my exhaust sensors and fire it up and rideto see if it dies any more with my original set up. If all is well itmust be a bad PC III. Right?

Will the ECM still have my "upgraded download" that HD did for me whenthey put slip on's and big suckerair breather last year?

Problems like this is what scared me from upgrading to a fuel package. Damn it!

 

Yep.

And I hate to say it, but this is exactly the reason I bought a SERT versus a PCIII. Yes, it costs more, but it's worth it from a peace-of-mind standpoint, IMHO.
