Thanks for the follow-up, Rick. Many original posters never do that and leave us in the dark, not knowing what the problem was or if it even got fixed.

Your welcome. I hate reading a thread and you get to the end and you have no idea what the fix was. Hopefully this thread will help someone else with these symptoms. It threw me for a loop because that was one of the first things I checked. I stuck an inline test light betweeen the plug wire and spark plug and you could see a spark. I always thought that a coil either worked or it didn't. I didn't realize it could be working but real weak, and then quit altogether and start working again. I definately learned more about this motorhome than I wanted to. It was $24 at Autozone, part# C839. I couldn't get any of the parts I replaced to pop up on their website under F53 so had to do some research to get part numbers and it comes up in their cross reference. They had no clue how to find the parts. I always do the research and take the part numbers with me or it's a wasted trip.
