So I have been fighting with an intermittent Code 11. It will run fine and start no problem. Sometimes Code 11 will pop up while it's running. I head home. Turn it off and says Code 11 and won't start. Went through the manual. Check load test on battery, starter solenoid, tested all 4 relays and used dielectric grease on all connectors. Changed plugs while I was in there. Original's with 19,000kms. Put back together and Code 11 no start.
I thought to turn the primary clutch a bit and it still same Code 11 but started. Turned it off and restart with no code. Did that 5 more times then Code 11 came back while running. Shut off and restart, no code and fires up. Started 10 more times with no issues.
WTF. Stator?????

That's the sensor on the valve cover.

I did change that. Its called the Cam Position Sensor ($200). Still have Code 11. Following the plug into the wiring harness there are 2 grounding blocks. One has 6 Blue wires and am getting 300-400 Ohms. The other with 6 Black/Blue wires I get 0 Ohms. Checking all the other grounding blocks I can see all have 0 Ohms. I'm looking into seeing where those 6 Blue wires go to help figure this out. Also looking for the frame / motor grounding points. Any other ideas anyone?That's the sensor on the valve cover.

I had a corroded pin in a ECU once that caused problems.

The grounding blocks are the ones with solid black wires. However, there are other connector blocks that bring wires of the same color together that often cause trouble. Search them in your harness and inspect.I did change that. Its called the Cam Position Sensor ($200). Still have Code 11. Following the plug into the wiring harness there are 2 grounding blocks.

I ended up disconnecting the battery and it reset the code. All good with over 150 miles on it.I did change that. Its called the Cam Position Sensor ($200). Still have Code 11.
