Default Engine code help

I started getting an engine code on my 2007 FLHX.

I turn the ignition on and wait for the engine light to clear and start the bike. Right after the bike starts, the engine light comes on for about 3 seconds then goes off and stays off.

I pulled the codes and got a code of P1357 which after some searching the forums found that the code is (P1357 Front Cylinder Combustion Intermittent).

Anyone got a clue. Just wondering if it has something to do with the PC111 I added recently.

Check your plugs, plug wires and all the plug wire connections. Clear the code then run the bike and see if it comes back.

Don't you guys just LOVE it when your scoot talks to ya, and tells ya what's wrong? Unfortunately, it still sounds like Greek. Case in point, this post.
Not like the 'old' days, when the engine code was a 'miss', and you pulled one of the wires, got shocked on your keester, only to find out, it is the other cylinder misfiring.

Sometimes I actually think about buying into the diagnostic end of these 'new fangled' scoots. But at 56, I'd be on the other side of the sod, B4 I got it all fingered out. Sort of like this contraption I am typing on.

This advice would be correct - generally the plug is or wire is loose.
