A ice pick test light makes checking fuses a snap. You don't even need to pull the fuse.

Like I said...it is probably a fuse

;)

The best way is to pull the fuse and test it. Last year I had a fuse that tested good on top, but was no good on the bottom where it plugged into the fuse panel. That kept me puzzled for two days, and I pulled half the bike apart looking for a problem that wasn't there.

DFI fuse....Like they say always check the simplist thing first. I just should've checked it twice.

HUH? Ya gotta tell me this about this deally. I have seen it the other way around i guess, where the fuse holder itself is cooked, bent, and warped and makes no contact with the fuse blades.

All I know is when I tested the fuse in the fuse block it appeared to be good, when I finally pulled it out and tested it on the bottom tabs it was bad. And when you looked at it through the plastic the filament inside didn't look blown, but it didn't look right either.

Pop open the gas cap and try it again. I had this nappen to me, right after filling the tank. I ended up taking the little plastic plunger piece out of the cap assembly.

So now I would be wondering what caused the fuse to blow? Bad fuse...maybe. Chaffed wire grounding out...good possibility. TFI module sent a voltage spike through DFI system...another possibility.

Mine is a 2005 1600
as you pull the electrical pump out of the fuel control module there is a approximately 3/4 long rubber seal this seal split in half causing the fuel to rush past it instead of building presure causing the gas to go back to the tank and not to the motor. I will try to post pictures when i can get to it. the fuel line was just to replace the seal blown out.

I had the same thing happen the first Summer I had the 'Nad. It was right after filling up. I'd go about a mile and it would die. I opened the gas cap, closed it back up and it ran for a nfew miles and did the same thing. What I ended up doing, was to take the little plastic flapper valve out of the gas cap. apparently, this wasn't breathing correctly and it was causing the fuel tank to flow lock, because there was no positive air flow.
