2008 Road King Error Codes
Riding back from a rally last fall my throttle failed after about 200 miles. At the time I thought the throttle wire had broken and just needed a replacement. So the mechanic replaced the throttle assy and it worked... for about 200 miles. And it became unresponsive again. I took it back to him and he unplugged everything and greased and replugged all the wires he thought were suspicious. He said I needed a new ECM and thought that would fix the problem.
This past weekend I rode around town trying to get the problem to happen again. And it did. After riding about an hour, the throttle would fail every couple of miles. I pulled over and switched off and on until the throttle would come back, then ride a few miles and do it again.
After reading these forums a bit I learned how to pull the codes and decipher what was wrong, here's what I get:
P-1353 - Front cylinder no combustion
P-1511 - Throttle actuator power management failure
P-2135 - TPS correlation error
Part number-32933-08
When the throttle quits it sounds like the engine goes into safe mode, like when it overheats, running on one cylinder.
So my question is: What do I replace? the throttle actuator? I've seen a lot of 1511 error codes here for Road Kings.
And help is appreciated.

Have you checked the the harness plug at the throttle body ? I have heard of moisture getting in that connecter at the throttle body causing similar problems.
I had a similar problem with my tbw I found a poor connection in the molex connecter behind the fairing.
