I have a 2017 Ultra Limited and it wont stay idling. Running down the road no problems but coming to stop I have to keep my hand on the throttle. Any body having this problem?

Maybe left switch pack needs replaced. Will it start in gear?

My only experience with this it was the IAC, but that was on an 06. Is your 17 still under warranty? If not, it would be close, I would ask your dealer if they would still cover it since its so close.

If not, Try spraying some intake cleaner to the 12 o’clock position in the throttle body and work your throttle at the same time. (Not sur , but with TBW, your power may need to be on white you work the throttle)

GOOD LUCK, AND KEEP US POSTED!
