K, I was riding home yesterday and all the sudden the bike starts popping and stuttering. When I let off the throttle it dies on me. Thought at first I may have gotten some bad gas, nope. So then I used a bit o' Seafoam, nope. Checked and cleaned the air filter, nope. I'm not the most mechanical person so I'm askin' for help on where to go now! Bike has about 18k, was serviced six months ago. Motor is all OEM. Again, it's a 2007 Heritage Softail Classic, 96ci FI. Thanks in advance!

 

make sure all grounds are clean and tight. then clean throttle body openings with efi approved carb cleaner. make sure spark plug wires are snapped on good.

 

Go to the evo forum and enter the tread called spit and sputtered.

fuel filter?

 

or fuel pump not getting the pressure up ... was your tank full or near reserve? do a search on "pinhole in fuel line" ... might be that.

 

might also try pulling apart the ECM and wait a couple mins, then reinstall.

I've read sometimes that just like a computer connection it just needs reseated.

If U lost Ur lights-horn at the same time U should check the battery bolts, I've done both couple yrs ago when ours had a cut out issue. The battery bolts loose was causing the problem.

 

Mine started doing that a couple months back, It turned out to be the (CKP) Crank Position Sensor.

 

IAC motor??? If you keep the throttle cracked does it stay lit? Maybe the IAC is letting the flapper shut all the way at idle.

Fuel filter? Fuel pump?

When you track it down....please post back the culprit and what you did to fix it.

 

Dang .... right on. Plus one.

 

i had a stalling problem last fall. i cleaned the throttle body and its been fine since.
