Ok...I've searched around and can't seem to find any info on my particular problem.
I installed a PCIII on my 2008 at the same time I installed my big shots. It's one of the newer versions with the correct plugs for the TPS and all that jazz...so the install was fairly straight forward, because of this...I didn't do the perfect install.
The bike ran great when I first put it on...which was on a Saturday afternoon. I rode around that day, Sunday, and Monday with it doing fine...probably a few hundred miles. I drove it home on Monday night running like a champ. Then on Tuesday I went to start up the bike in the morning and it just wouldn't idle...less than 10 hours later. I started it a few times and finally just held a little gas to keep it running thinking it may have been the morning cold messing with it (stupid...I know, but it was a new bike to me). I just figured it would get better as it warmed up, so I decided to take it to work, which is about 20 miles away. I start going down the highway and notice a plume of white smoke coming out from my pipes. It was running very rough too...choppy, no power, just bad all around. So maybe 15 miles of that later, I ended up hitting traffic and having to stop...and the bike cut out since it wouldn't idle. At this point I finally decided to get off the highway and check things over.
Everything seemed totally normal other than its bad running characteristics, so I got a ride to my truck and brought it home to further investigate, since it's hard to look at the bike without any tools in a church parking lot
I tried resending the map to the PCIII when I got home, but when I started it up it had exactly the same problem. My computer was showing everything as normal with the PCIII, so I decided to double check my install...which checked out fine. Good ground, tight fitting plugs, everything was sound. So I finally yanked it out and hooked everything up as normalthan tried starting it again...and it fired right up like there was nothing wrong.
My best guess it that there is either somethign wrong with my install (which I don't think there was) or there is something wrong with my PCIII. I want to get it all straightened out, sinceI sunk money into this thing and it's given me nothing but problems so far. I haven't contacted DnyoJet yet, as I want to see if anybody has any ideas of what the problem could be, or if you ran into similar problems.
If there was a problem with the install, and a perfect install in the only solution how do I make sure the PCIII is ok before I go and void it's warranty and spend the time installing it only to run ito the same problem in the end. Also...why did DynoJet release a product with directions that didn't allow the unti to function properl? Seems like bad engineering to me...
Thanks for reading!
