SOURCE: 06 Road King Classice shuts off when in 4th gear beloe 50mph

It's normal for the check engine light to take from 0 to a couple seconds to turn off. The computer runs a system check. Put an oil pressure gauge on the bike and watch it closely. If your pressure drops when the bike loses power, the engine may be locking up from lack of oil. Another possibility is your lean-angle cut-off switch is defective. The switch cuts power to the bike in case you lay it down. Harley also has had problems with their fuel injection system losing power for no apparent reason.

Its your fuel pump if you can't hear it. And its inside your tank. Not a hard fix if you have a book that tells you how to remove it. Alot of procedures to follow to get it right. And yes it does work off a relay.

01road king..probably have 30 to 40 thousand on it...Sounds like cam chain tensioner..about the only thing that will go wrong with your bike. I will assume you have oil etc in it...If you have not been running your bike stupid then nothing mechanical will usually brake on a Harley. Once again I assume its stock. You don't have an oil light on so I'll put my money on cam chain tensioner has exploded or is about to.

SOURCE: 2001 Road King. Runs fine for three or four

The same thing just happen to me and a friend of mine on our 2001 Road Kings. I am 95% sure your problem is the crank position sensor. We replace ours and the bikes are back to their glory.

I have a 1996 Astro Van that after running multiple errands and had been parked for approx. 6 hrs. would not start or even turn over. I thought it was the battery but the gauge shows that it is fine. ...

The voltage gauge only says what the battery voltage is. It is entirely possible that the battery's current capability can be severely weak even though the voltage looks normal. An easy check for the start circuit is to turn on the dome light and try to crank the engine. If the dome light doesn't dim and there is no attempt to start, then the battery is not the problem. If the dome light goes very dim or goes out completely, then the battery is too weak to crank the engine. If the battery is not the problem, then since there is no click or anything, the problem could be:
(1) Starter
(2) Neutral safety switch
(3) Ignition switch
(4) Start circuit wiring

Engine won't turn over

More info is needed. Does the engine CRANK? In other words does the starter spin the engine over but not start? If it fails to crank, it is a starter or battery problem.

I have a 96 Cavalier LS 2.4L, it died on the road while my wife was driving. Some numbnut tried to jumpstart it and hook up the cables wrong... So far I have replaced the bettery, starter, ignition switch,...

After you put in the ecu, do the crank relearn, everyone knows how to do that since its common knowledge, and you're good to go.
Here is how it's done: Ensure that your battery is fully charged before attempting the relearn procedure. Do not leave any battery charger or jumper cables attached to the battery. Close the hood completely. Some applications require that the doors remain closed during the procedure.
96-99 chevy
1. Rotate the key to the start position to attempt to start the vehicle (the vehicle will not start).
Allow the key to return to the all position (same as if the vehicle would have started). The theft system light will flash (or stay lit) on the dash for approximately 10 minutes.
2. When the theft system telltale stops flashing (or turns oft) turn the key to the off position for 5 seconds and then attempt to start the vehicle. The vehicle should start on this cycle.
3. Once the vehicle is running, the password relearn is complete.

2. The theft system light will flash (or stay lit) on the dash for approximately 10 minutes.
3. When the theft system telltale stops flashing (or turns off) turn the key to the off position for 5 seconds and then attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes.
5. On the next cycle of turning the ignition key from off to crank the vehicle should start
6. Once the vehicle is running, the password is learned and this completes the cycle.
7. Clear any DTC's with a scan tool if necessary. DTC history will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles.

Thank you for using fixya and keep me posted, be glad to help you get the car running 100% again
