Purchased my 1997 TL 1000s at 12,000 km and went like a rocket until 22,000. Since then have had sparking problems with front cylinder - engine is missing and so on. Could it be the infamous ECU problem the 97 TLs had? Can you suggest how I might fix this?, Thanks, Simon - New Zealand.

think u blew a fuse-dont fool w electrical if no xperienc---bike is old and probly needs a new pump relay-battery cud be weak also or not being charged rite----buy a haynes or clymer manual and learn repair or bring it to a private bike mech instead

the P0301 means Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected, and the P0303 means Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. I think have known how to fix the problems after you knew where is the problem.

My workshop manual covers the one model from 1997 - 2001 with only slight engine differences. The fairing has no part number change, so I would say it should fit.
Hope that helps.

There is often one under the plastic cover of the starter solenoid.

Instead of the auto-zone trip , take it to the dealer !

OK, the first thing to do is check your fuse box for blown ignition fuse all motors in order to run must have fuel, air, fire, oil to operate. Since this bike was setting up for four months I recommend changing the oil and filters, empty and flush the gas tank remove any rust if present, your carburators will need servicing, empty and clean the bowls replace gaskets clean your jets, charge your battery replace it needed. Check your charging system (ie stator.) for proper voltage output replace if needed. check Automatic timing unit at the chank shaft on lower right side of the bike. this is needed for impulse signal to be sent to the coils to firng in seqence. If no fire at the spark plug the problem is either your ATU or your coils need replacing. Happy riding !!!

See if your car has an ignition control module. They will go bad over time and cause random engine misfiring. Just went thru it with my 2002 Buick LeSabre. 120,000 miles on the engine. Replaced plugs, plug wires and check the coils. It was the ICM.

See these items:-

The starter must have been bad due to the water.

Bad PCM or ignition coil.

Corroded battery cables.

See timing belt.

Good luck

Hi, as far as I know the TL1000s is fuel injected, so no carby setting, hope this helps :)

Change all of the spark plug wires one at a time and label them so that you know where to put them back. I had the same problem and did this. The problem went away..
