My 99 X1 wont start, and I am stumped. I rode to work on a super hot day (104), and after getting home & shutting it off, it now wont start. Battery was dead the next day (it was getting weak anyway), but even jumping it, it wont run. Fuel pump comes on & pressures up, turns over fine. Sounds like it wants to start, but doesnt. It has always been a little hard starting cold. Seems to be getting fire. No check engine lights came on before turning it off, and it ran perfect up until I shut it off. It pinged just a bit during the ride from a standing start (never does that), but I babied it home because of the heat.
Could the rear head temp sensor go bad & not allow it to start? Are there any issues with fuel pumps or the fuel filters? Do coils go bad often?
Honestly, this is the first problem i've ever had. |

I'd suspect the battery #1. A faulty battery can manifest itself with some odd behavior in the FI bikes.
