    I am more familiar with car ECUs so not sure just how refined the Triumph one are but generally all injection ECUs have a cold start map that changes once the ECU temp sensor reaches a set temp it goes into what is known as closed loop which uses lambda sensor feedback to modulate the correct fueling known a Stoic (ie 14.7 AFR) where this closed loop fueling ends depends on how the manufactures have set it, it then goes to the open loop or fixed map until WOT which uses load (RPM vs air flow/pressure vs throttle position) to scale the fuel map.
    There will be fall back maps to take into consideration air and coolant temps there should also be a similar timing maps that use the same feedback as the fuel maps so timing is also modified to suit running parameters and normally would have a knock sensor to prevent detonation when using low grade fuel or fueling problems.

    Any part of this can be affected by one of the mentioned sensors giving incorrect/unsuspected feedback...the ECU coolant temp sensors usual default if faulty is for the ECU to modify global fueling to run quite rich for safety this gives rise to good cold start but bad hot start and running problems at certain engine loadings like cruse and minimal throttle openings.
    The air temp sensor will do similar if faulty/out of expected range and TPS set wrong will usually cause similar bad running due to a global shift in map reference, A bad air pressure/flow sensor will just make it run bad full stop as it has to fall back on either TP or RPM for reference signal.

    Sorry for the long winded explanation but
    Without fault codes its a bit of a minefield to diagnose as they can all cause similar effects and from what i have been told the bike ECUs are not as sophisticated as the cars equivalent.

    I have known car crank position sensors to be a real pain and be very intermittent without fault codes which make then very hard to find the problem but as you have replaced yours i doubt that's the problems .....lets hope its just down to coils.:)

    This model has a couple of very simple 'cold start' map amendments, with an enrichment table that adds additional fuel at lower engine temperature and another that increases the controlled engine rpm based on engine temperature.
    There is NO closed loop control on this model - no O2 sensor.

    Not sure why triumph bother with lambda feedback on some models as its stops at something like 1200RPM guess its just emissions based.

    So it just has a lower rev limiter during warm up, if not faulty coils which i doubt then it does sound to me like there is a faulty ECU temp sensor and the fueling is staying rich which would cause the bog down when the engine is hot.

    No, it has a higher idle speed

    Yes, it changes the idle speed by controlling the Idle Speed Control Valve (later called Idle Air Control Valve)
    From about 2005 on, with Keihin ECU, the Idle Speed control is not by controlling air through a valve, but by a stepper motor that directly opens the throttles to control the idle speed (again based on coolant temp, just a different mechanism of introducing more air)

    The Warmup table looks very similar except instead of rpm it has an enrichment factor (fuel multiplier) based on temperature

    HERE COMES THE AWAITED UPDATE!

    So the new coils arrived Thursday! Swapped the coils and, well, it worked? I guess? Unfortunately, it doesn't end there...

    The bike ran great! Full power all the way through the RPMs! Everything was great until I stopped at a red light and smelt gas fumes... Looked down at the right side of the engine where the gas connectors are located and well it was dripping gas... Got home, ripped the bike apart for the 500th time this month, and got the gas tank off (in like 1 minute, I'm basically a professional at his point lol).

    So it turns out I accidentally nicked one of the o-rings while connecting the fuel connections. It had gotten late at this point so no shops were open. I had to leave the gas tank off until I'm able to pick up new o-rings. Today (Friday) comes around and after about 8 different stores I managed to find the correct size.

    New o-rings on, I slapped the tank back on, got dressed for the ride, and guess what... Now there is (what I think) a fueling problem... The bike runs great but not all the way. It hesitates a little when accelerating hard. It has like 80-90% power during full throttle. Doesn't feel the same way at all as it did before when the ignition was failing.

    Feels like I got moisture or some sort of contaminate in the fueling system, it just doesn't run right...

    I'm so done with this, I've got a guy that's been waiting for weeks to buy the bike and I'm honestly thinking of giving him a 500 dollar discount so that he can get it checked out at a Triumph Dealer (unfortunately I don't have one even remotely close). That's why something like an fuel filter replacement takes 2 weeks as I have to order it...

    I'm so deep into this bike both money and time. I usually don't give up but I honestly can't be bothered... Rode it for 2 hours today with STP fuel system cleaner, didn't make a difference... Also checked the spark plugs while I swapped the coils, they were in perfect condition.

    So here's the summary: the new coils seemed to do the trick. Ran great until it started to leak fuel. Didn't run as great when I got the fuel leak sorted...

    That's all I've got for now! Cheers

    If its pissing you off that much it may be time for a change however i know it must grate to admit defeat hope you get to a solution that doesn't drive you mad in the process.:)

    Thanks mate! It's just depressing not being able to ride my beautiful bike. Unfortunately I have spent the past year renovating it but one thing led to another and we'll here I am... I'm sure I'll sort it out! Just have to find the motivation...
    Cheers

    Also one question:
    Is any of the hoses supposed to be connected to anything? Did I forget something? The two on the left side are just "breethers"? And the one on the right that's connected to some sort of vaccum valve? Is it supposed to be connected?

    Just trying to sort out any possibilities,
    Cheers

    Don't give up !! Just imagine how pissed you'll be when you see the other bloke racing around on it, loving every minute, after he gets it fixed! If it started playing up after you changed the seals, it must be something to do with that. When you feel less stressed with it, go back and strip it back down. Check there's no bits of broken seal in the connectors etc. There's always a reason.

    As i said not familiar with that bike can you post a pic or the relevant page from a manual?

    FINAL UPDATE: SOLVED!

    So I did it! As I was able to diagnose the last issues being fuel related (this time the bike was "lunging", when it was the ignition that was at fault it just lost all power).

    I poured some "fuel system cleaner" into the tank and rode it around for about 30 minutes. Let it sit for two days, came back, switched the fuel lines around (the ones that connect to the fuel rail). I have previously read somewhere that they are interchangeable (still questionable lol?).

    Started it up and it ran perfectly, no misfires no nothing :) Just the sweet sound of three cylinders firing as they should. Tomorrow ill go for one last test run before I assemble all the fairings again and hopefully, I won't have to take them off again!

    Huge thank you to everyone who has been active in this thread! It has been with your knowledge and support I managed to bring my beautiful bike back to life (well it was never really dead).

    And to any future frustrated Daytona owner: Try replacing your coils! It worked for me!!!

    Cheers
