Friend has a 2005 Electra Glide Classic, injected, that seems to drop a cylinder when trying to ride it normal. If you twist hard, it will get up and run with no issues; but trying to ride at the speed limit, or at any speed consistantly what so ever, it spits and sputters, backfires, etc. He has changed coil, wires, plugs, MAP sensor, TPS, ECM, and ignition switch. But, the problem still seems to happen and will only run when you are trying to accelerate HARD..............

Any ideas anyone? I told him that about the only thing left that I could think of was the harness itself, but we all know how fun that will be to change, not mentioning cost.

Thanks,

Take the fuel cap off with it running, and see if there is bubbles in the tank, if there are you need to change the line in the tank, and while at it , change the fuel filter.

Thanks for the input. We already have changed the fuel filter and did not notice any bubbles in the tank. Hard to know exactly because it runs so rough, there are many vibrations/waves in the tank. Only runs when reving up. The code is throwing MAP bad, but as I said earlier, he already changed that once.......

Maybe you have a broken wire inside the insulation going to the map sensor.
