Thanks again for all the info. Today is nice weather and we are going to try a few things. Will see how we come out. Thank goodness for the forum. You learn more here then anywhere and prepare yourself for the mechanic that you might not know.
Bad fuel pumps is very common on these year MH's. Sadly The fuel pump is IN the gas tank. In my case I would loose power after it got warm.
20 different places went for the fuel filter which was actually a computer part. Had it replaced and same problem :R
I finally took it to a Ford Truck Dealership.
First of all, all they had to do was open the hood and hooked up a gauge which tells the whole story about your fuel pump. So BEFORE you go off on it being the fuel pump. Have a very simple test done first. :W
I stated earlier if it will not start "check the solenoids" it really is the only thing that prevents starting. And no it doesn't click like the old days, it simply will not start. See my earlier post. There are SEVERAL solenoids on these beasts. And it is a VERY common problem.
Have someone check the volts on each solenoid as you turn the key. That will find which one is not working. ALL of them have to work to start the engine. The one they found that was bad on mine was on the passenger side fender wall. A cheap and easy fix! RV mobile guy knew right away what the problem was just by my phone call because they see it all the time.
Really IMHO I'd call the closest CG near you and ask them who they use for RV Mobile Repair and call him and have him come out to where you are.
He came out and took 5 minutes to check all the solenoids, 5 minutes to replace the bad one! All while it's parked in your driveway!
It will be the best phone call you've ever made for your RV! :C
