CRF250L will not start
I'm in quite dire need of some information on how to get my CRF250L going, it's quite long winded, but if you bear with me hopefully I can explain the situation fully.
I rode the bike around 30 miles one day and left it for around an hour, when I came back to it, it absolutely refused to start and hasn't started since.
Now, I have an engine warning light on that stays on known as PGM-FI MIL (programmed fuel injection malfunction indicator light). Light stays on, does not flash and the engine will not start.
There is no power to the spark plug, ignition coil and the fuel pump is not priming and so not allowing the engine to start. I've had the fuel pump running from a different power supply and the plug and ignition coil working on another bike. All of the fuses are good, I even changed the one for the PGM-FI just to make sure. All the relays are good and battery condition good.
I've now replaced the ECM (CDI/ECU) and that wasn't the culprit.
So, after some further research using the Honda 'shop manual and with help from a friend I did some testing on the Bank Angle Sensor. I did a continuity test on the sensor itself and got nothing. I then followed the manual doing tests which lead me to 'replace the bank angle sensor with a known good one'. So, I thought before making the 700 mile drive for parts (like I had to for the CDI). I would try to bypass the BAS.
My friend found out for me that I would require a resistor as the ECM needs to read 500-800 ohms of resistance basically as a safety feature so that you cannot bypass it. Even with a resistor reading 670 Ohms and a new ECM/CDI/ECU the bike still will not start. Still no priming of the fuel pump and the MIL stays lit.
Also, before anyone mentions kill switch/side stand switch thats not the problem either.
I have a bank angle sensor on order as it's the only thing I can thing of that may be faulty even though i've tried to bypass it.. just wondering if anyone on here has any suggestions in the meantime.
Looking forward to hearing your responses!
