- April 01, 2012, 22:19:09 PMyes I did check for codes and aren't any, however I think I may have solved the problem.......Last year I got the bike dyno tuned and I noticed he did not remove the air filter but just sort of looked at it with a mini mag flashlight and continued to tune, I think the filter was pretty plugged up and since it's a tear drop filter I don't think he had one. Anyway I think the bike was tuned with a dirty filter so this year when I put a new filter on (also washed and cleaned the old one ) the amount of air flowed has increased thefore the settings on the power commander would now be incorrect....does this make sense?
?
The ratio of air and fuel has changed....so I'll try to find the correct settings...also filled the tank for a second time with premium gas and put in a 1/2 can of sea foam
unfortunately it snowed today and was unable to test ride, however I will give results once I test ride
Thanks

- March 27, 2012, 23:24:21 PMthe 99 1500 seems to be running ruff spittin and sputterin at steady throttle at any speed ...back firing and popping on de-acceleration, changed the plugs (old ones looked very clean) cleaned, washed and oiled the air filter with no change in running
thinking it could be bad gas even though I put 1/2 can of sea foam and ran 70 miles with no improvement
is there a way to drain the tank on the 99 1500 with out having to remove it
thanks
