Default Missing Problem????

Hi You all, I got a question and a problem with my Bike that i hope someone could kindly answer or maybe tell me whats wrong... I have a 2001 roadking, efi... My problem is: off and on it is missing, mostly when i decerlerate..Sometimes i when i give it gas it starts missing also.. I just changed Spark plugs, (the old ones didn't look that bad), but put new ones in anyways.. That didn't help!!! Then i put new plug wire on, that didn't help either.. My bike has 31,000 miles on it, and i bought it brand new in 2001.... Never had any problems except i had to put new battery, voltager regulator and Stater in it... I am hoping it is nothing serious and an easy fix, i can still ride it and all but the Miss is driving me crazy... I am Retired and really can't afford to put alot of money in it right away... So any input in to what might be wrong would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks in advance!!!!

Rick

Could be something as simple as a throttle position sensor. Have you run the codes to see if it has thrown one?

Could also be injector related. Maybe even the wiring on top of the injector isn't making a solid connection.

Make sure all your ground connections are nice and tight. just a little loose and it can cause a miss when it rattles.
