I turn the key off and back on immediately while coasting and it bump starts it back up every time
Got it. How about... if it shuts down and I pop the clutch it starts? No, I tried that and have to turn the key off then on and it fires back up this way only.
So without waiting for the answer, I'm thinking like this:
a. 'No, it won't fire back up if I coast and pop the clutch'... this says it has a good ground.
b. 'Yes, every time I keyfob it, she lights off again'... it says I zero'd out a bad saved signal, turning key off rests to zero = 0000.
if I manage to pull over I just turn the key off and then back on and it will fire back up every time.
a. Kind of see how it's not a ground if fires back up?
b. See how the black box kind of resets to refire, and not the crank sensor; with a keyfob off the side of the road means; no waiting for the sensor to cool down and refire.
Sometimes I can ride it for 2 months and it never does it and sometimes it will happen 3 times in a mile!
a. At 2 months in, can't be the black box's pin to connector to black box being loose.
b. Ah, a 2004 with an OEM black box and green electrolysis may/may not flow so a few connects and reconnects kind of scrapes and drags on the pins to etch to new metal, or, you can clearly see the powder corroded on the pins.
c. The; got nothing to lose, is to take a Q-tip and swab the pins with vinegar, where it's not soaking and dripping, then finding it's way past the bake where the pins stick out of the black box. Best way is to hang the box up, pins down so no chance of backwashing. If the connector has enough room to dip it in straight vinny and watch the bubbles... oh, it looks good chasing that phantom loss, but I'm beginning to doubt it. And you'd swab with fresh water to clean the pins, and something like dip the connector in a baggie of both vinny and rinse the bag with fresh water and dip the connector to remove the vinegar and crud.
d. For da fuck if I know where the phantom-cutout is?
