Default 05 electra glide fuel problems ?

05 electra glide classic (flhtci) idles ok, when you twist the throttle it dies. the next day it will start up and run just fine for a while, then back to the same old crap. checked fuel pressure and that seems to be fine, any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
greg

Default idle issues

I have an 07 FLHT and a buddy has an 07 Heritage. Start up is ok, but after riding maybe 10 minutes, we both have the same problem with the 95 inch motor. It won't hold idle. I asked the local dealer and was blown off. It could be as simple as an O2 sensor, but HD wouldn't allow me to renew my extended warranty. Go figure. Maybe they know something we don't. Anyway, I am taking mine in soon to let them check it out. By the way, it didn't have this problem till I had the 10k sevice done. Ebay has a scan tool that you plug in and it will record about an hour's worth of sensor readings, but it's about 500 bucks. That is probably the only way to find out which sensor is failing.

turned out to be moisture in the relay from my v&h fuelpak, the wires weren't tied up they were left hanging by the swing arm and the relay was the lowest point
