Default Idle Problems
I have a 2000 Ultra Classic, I've been having problems with the idle for a while at first it would idle around 2000 rpm after i've went a few miles on it I tried turning the ignition on and off 4 to 5 times to cycle it would work for a few miles and it would start again then I put the cold idle motor on now it idels so low it shuts off i've tried resetting the cold and hot idle several times and still does the same anyone have any ideals what would fix it.
