Your MH does NOT have a CC.........There is a resonator just after the "Y" pipe that could be mistaken for a CC.
I suggest the first thing to do is put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail. Port is on the right fuel rail about center of the fuel rail. Pressure should be about 32lbs. at idle and about 40lbs. with the vacuum hose pulled off the fuel pressure regulator. The only way to fully test the fuel pump is to drive the coach at wide open throttle and see if you get about 40lbs of pressure.
If low pressure, check the fuel filter first. It's on the left frame rail, mid-ship.
Your engine is port injected, not TBI. It still has the old EEC-IV computer with OBD-1
Your coach has disc brakes on both ends. The caliper mounting system is of poor design and needs maintenance every 2 years. The calipers need to be removed, mounting surfaces cleaned and greased with synthetic brake caliper grease. The pistons in the calipers will swell over time and not move freely. There are replacement metal pistons out there or you could buy rebuilt calipers with metal pistons. RockAuto has such items.
