05 fireblade won't start and no fault codes
Hey guys, New to the forum and I just got an 2005 Fireblade, She is beautiful and a Honda so obv one of the best ever made!! but I've had a few issues with it on part could be some of my fault. I am not new to motors so I plan to do all the work myself. So It has been always hard to cold start but when running it starts no problem. Recently I can not get it to start at all. I had a fault for the (ect) coolent sensor so I decided to check it out and what I found was that the connector that connects from the harness had a loose connection. From touching connectors in there I see this could be a problem for more than just that one connector as they all seem to feel a bit loose. It started and ran after that and when I put it all back together I got a sputter and then nothing. So I don't think that was my original problem with the starting but 1 problem fixed. I also noticed when I was in there if I wiggled the full harness my dash lights would flicker. I checked the one ground but I'm not sure if there was more that could be loose. Someone has been through the bike before mabey trying to find the same problem. I read that there are stator problems with these bikes so I ordered one and also a new set of plugs to replace also. Not here till next week. It has a PC3 and I updated the firmwear and map and also tryed the fuel acc pump at 15% 1st 15 rotations. seemed to help but now it won't start at all. I hear the PC3 maps run rich and I haven't been able to go for a long ride so may have fowled the plugs. It smells like fuel when I turn it over and it will fire once or twice quick then noting at all. I've also tryed holding it wide open and starting it with no luck. So if anyone has any suggestions that I have missed or a problem like mine I'd appreciate any advice or help anyone has for me. Thanks Ohh also I do hear the pump prime and I have checked that the kickstand switch does test ok
