RE: 01' F4i, misses, and backfires... intermitently...
why did it start two days ago after you charged the battery? Take the battery out and take it to a car shop (advance or auto zone) and have them do a load test on it. I'm just thinking (not a mechanic expert)... but if it started and ran fine after you charged it a little but not after it sat for two days... why are you not still thinking battery? I wouldn't hurt anything to have them test it for free.

Ok, going to change battery, but I don't think that's the problem, simply because it's turning over fine... Normal speed. I have checked all of the fuses, and all are good. That was the first thing I checked... I am thinking it might be getting too much fuel... I.E. Fuel pressure regulator... HEADACHE!!!

HOLY CRAP!!! I fixed it!!! All along it was the plugs!!! I just replaced them a week ago... I used NGK 6966's(IMR9A-9H)... Which is what it called for... They were gapped right, I checked them before I put them in.... And the bike ran a lot better, basically perfect for three days, hten started cutting out, bringing me to the point of not starting at all... The bike has sat on my patio for the past week, tinkering with everything, trying all of your suggestions, and still nothing.... Then today, out of pure desperation, I replaced the plugs with cheap ones, just to see if it would start... AND DID!!! Right up!!! The plugs looked perfect!!! What would have caused this!??! Thanks to everyone who tried to give me some answers!!! -Chris
