Default 01 Raptor only getting spark once in a while, how come?

Hi, we where out riding the other day and it just cut out, after about 30 sec it fired back up and ran for a while, it did this 2 more times. It will not start at all now, I put a plug in the a spark plug wire and I only get spark about once every 2 minutes of cranking, what can be wrong? thanks

Check your CDI, this happened to me too, I just moved some wires behind the battery and it fired right up.

I am not sure when it happens. Is there a way to test any of this stuff? I am not sure what to do. Thanks

I cleaned all of the conectors, and it still sould not start, I then let it sit for 3 days and after a little cranking it started up. And everytime you shut it offer it took a while to start, after a good ride it now starts right up? what is going on? thanks
