Backfiring, stuttering, no acceleration
Hello everyone.
I have a 2013 Wide Glide which has basically been sitting since December. I've gone for a couple of rides and started it every week but otherwise it has been sitting. Since it's warmer I wanted to clean her up and take her out but on the most recent start it was stalling under throttle as well as sputtering and backfiring. I ran diagnostics and it came back with P0107, MAP sensor. I replaced that today and it is giving me the exact same problem and the same code is coming back. I've checked the wires and nothing appears broken or loose, so I'm not sure what the deal is. I checked the plugs (although I don't think that's really the issue) and they could probably use a change and I'm going to pick up some new ones tomorrow.
In the meantime, is there anything else which could be causing the problem?
Thanks.

I was thinking this could be a problem. I haven't put any in since maybe January, but I also didn't think it would break down this quickly. I mean on the Walking Dead they are still driving around on years old gas.
Jokes aside, I will probably drain it tomorrow and get a jug to put some more in.
Thanks.

I usually find old gas to be an issue on carbureted engines, the fuel injection delivery system is not vented to the atmosphere. Of course there could be moisture/water or debris as well...
