    This is the direction your indy should be going... the description in the manual for your codes I posted earlier....You could spend a small fortune guessing at which sensor is bad ...and BP and HRK were going that direction without even having the diagnostic book....I think your indy should invest in the Manual and diagnostic tools or stick to Evos and Shovels....

    When did you change the plugs and wires, did this start soon after the change?

    The bike is a delphi system?

    Put the old plugs wires back on... See if that fixes it.

    I heard since he passed the staff did not seem as "driven", if that is the right word, and the family did not have the same business skills without him, but that could just be some complainer customers venting and the poor economy not helping either. Either way, too bad. Hopefully they are still kickin at Daytona in Feb when I get there, I need a new shirt.

    Yeah,put the stock wires back on and plugs in,if you go outside stock specs for resistance on the wires,you'll confuse the 'putor...and it could send a wrong signal...

    Interesting to hear how long the plug wires were in there before this happened.

    If you have someone you trust, that is the main thing. Hopefully he(or she?) is man enough to know when they are in over their head and willing to ask for factory trained help when needed. Nothing worse than a jobber who is too big headed to call for assistance and waits until he has bled the customer's wallet dry before calling. If the shop treated you right so far, I'd stay with them for future work, as long as you now know their limitations.
