Default Cut off when put into gear

Had a prob. with my 08 Custom 1200. Started up fine, put it in first and let the clutch out....died. Found out it was the crank sensor plug wasn't snapped together. Clicked the plugs together tight and there ya go.

Found the crank sensor plug wasn't snapped together. Pushed the plugs together till I heard a snap. No more prob.

My buddy's car engine light was on, so he dropped by yesterday. The codes I read said cylinder 2 and 3 misfire. Neither plug wire was seated on the coil pack, problem solved. It happens.

Sure can, just glad I found it. I guess it just vibrated apart enough to shut things down. Had put about 75 miles on it before this happened. Only had her since Halloween.

My mass air sensor backed out once. Thought I was blowing it up. LOL

Mine was the same until I put the battery on a tender in my case if it’s feasalble I can only put it down to weak battery power.
