my dyna et sensor was randomly throwing codes and causing rough idle. i cleaned the connection and it has behaved ever since [fixed].

A. problem- see #3 at the bottom: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...l#post16283313
B. fix- https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...l#post16292667

on my sporty, i just replaced my et sensor since i replaced my entire top end and it was pinched pretty bad [in bad shape]. that sensor i removed still worked and is now a spare in the bucket-o-parts.

Removed the sensor and cleaned it also checked wether any part is pinched or not, but to my wonder could'nt find any. And the engine check light is still on.

thats good. Guess we can tentatively say the sensor was bad. Hopefully the new sensor fixes the issue.

Changed ET sensor even though the code still appears. When trying to clear it while running diagnostic a code appears “PN 32144-07C”
