Coach nearly stalled

January 01, 2005, 04:43:19 pm

I picked our coach up from it's 10,000 mile oil change. At the first 2 red lights from the service center the acceleration was poor. I thought it was no more than the engine might be cold. Than I got on the freeway and everything ran o.k.
Put coach in storage but when I picked it up this morning it nearly stalled about a 1/4 mile from the storage when turning a corner after stopping for a red light. Luckily there was a turning lane I was able to limp into at around 1/2 mph. Put it in neutral and checked engine revolutions, seemed alright. Put it back into gear to pull my tail end out of main road. Still at a crawl than it than picked up speed normally and I was able to get home.
Does this seem like a problem the service center caused or a more serious complaint? Of course I will be phoning the service people first thing Monday.

I checked engine diagnostics and it said no faults.I am no diesel expert so any imput would be appreciated before I call the service people.

Hi Adriane,

I like to hear what the experts say.
Fuel starvation - fuel filters?
What color is the exhaust if any?

Hi,

Another thought - check the valve at the fuel filter - is it on? Fred Kovol

I had a similar problem recently, it turned out to be a hole in the hose on the turbocharger. It was fixed in about an hour by a knowledgeable mech at a Truck repair center.
