Default Help Bikes dying?

2006 Electra Glide Classic started acting up on the way home from work. It seemed to loose all power. It's backfiring like crazy and seems the cylinders aren't firing a lot. The codes I pulled are P 1353 and P 1356. Got this online.

P1353 Front Cylinder No Combustion EFI

P1356 Rear Cylinder No Combustion EFI

What's wrong? Any suggestions?

To top it off I had a trip planned leaving at 6 in the morning for a weekend ride. This sucks......

Have you checked your spark plug wires yet?

I'd start with changing the spark plugs, fouled plugs will cause what you're describing.

Thanks for a place too start. I'm going to check the plugs writes and battery stuff out. I'll update in a little while.

Harley Electrical Maintenance Manual suggests following;

"Failure to detect combustion at

high speed and load means one of following conditions exist.


• Cylinder is truly misfiring.

• There is a lack of continuity in the ignition coil secondary

circuit.

Ck for spark. Could be plugs or plug wires. Also, could be coils.

Manual suggests following test procedure;

Diagnostic Notes


Each reference number below correlates to a circled number

on the flowchart(s).

1. Connect BREAKOUT BOX (Part No. HD-48637) between


wire harness and ECM. See 4.7 BREAKOUT BOX: EFI.



2. Spark plugs must be correct Harley-Davidson resistor type

specified for this model.

3. Use HARNESS CONNECTOR TEST KIT (Part No. HD-

41404-B), purple pin probes and patch cords.

4. Perform spark plug cable resistance test.

a. Remove spark plug cable from spark plug and ignition

coil. For best results, use a needle nose pliers for

removal/installation on coil. Gently grasp cable as

close to terminals as possible.

b. Using an ohmmeter, touch probes to terminals on

each end plug wire.


c. Compare resistance values to Table 4-24. Replace



cables not meeting specifications. Reinstall and repeat

procedure on other spark plug cable.

So i think it's the fuel pump. The other stuff seems ok. It is making a loud almost sucking sound from the tank. Much louder than the normal sound right before you fire it up. Sound like a fuel pump?
