2000 electaglide dies out

I have changed main breaker,cam position sensor,crank position sensor.It will not give any fault codes.It has magnetti mirrelli efi.there is nothing consistant about when it shuts off except maybe throttle position.When it happens you are either pulling away from a dead stop or slowing down coming to a stop.Sometimes it will restart right away and other times you have to cycle the ignition off and on like something has to reset.I've thrown a ton of money at this problem and can't get alot of help from the dealers since we can't get a fault code. I'm thinking either throttle position sensor or idle control sensor.[I don't know if that last one even exists]any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.I'm about ready to put a carb on it, thanks.....gib

With the engine idling swing the forks back and forth slightly to see what happens . Have found faulty ignition wires in the harness that runs alongside the right front fork neck area . You could also tug on that harness to see if you can cause it to die .
