Power Commander Issue

[Cav Man]

I had my Power Commander apparently go out on me on a ride yesterday- the beginning was perfectly normal but after about a hundred miles or so the engine began running very rough. Thought maybe I had gotten some bad gas and put in some fresh, but no change. Took the seat off and removed the access cover to look at the Power Commander. No power light at all, regardless of the ignition was on or off. Looks to have completely given up the ghost, which is odd as it was a nice sunny day in the 70's and I wasn't pushing it at all. Have run a couple thousand miles with the PCV to this point (from about 6,500 to 8,500) with no issues or other me

Fuse? Checked connections?

OK, I feel like a bit of a knucklehead, failed to have the shut off switch in the "on" position. So, the PCV now powers up and I pulled up the map and it hasn't changed. So the problem remains, in that the bike idles rough and rides quite rough, but it does not appear that the PCV is the culprit.

I did check all of the fuses, they are fine.

Forgot to mention that I recently had the oil changed but, bike ran fine for the first 120 miles and oil level looks correct and color good.

No warning lights of any kind on the instruments.

Check fuel filter? Run some Sea Foam on a new tank with premium gas after you check the filter. It may work or at least mark it off the list.

Also check the low tension leads on the coils - they should be crimped tightly.

disconnect the power commander and see if the problem goes away

Both of my 05's had a power commander when I bought them, and both ran like cwap. Power commanders now sitting on a shelf. With the approiate tune and TuneECU bikes run great!

That would be a cleaner set up, my issue is that I haven't found a local shop that can/will work with Tune ECU.

Thank you all for your feedback, I'm going to repost this thread with a more accurate title and some additional data.

I've rin PC's /AT's for years no problems at all...They do a great job if no trusted tuner nearby.
