On my 1997 Monaco Dynasty with an electronic throttle I get no response when I try to accelerate. Manualy the injector pump works fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

It may simply be too cold to take throttle, or the little thingie that senses that is messed up.

the inj pump throttle lever is not being pulled when you step on the gas pedal?

Not familiar with your particular coach but I have had similar problems on my last two coaches. One with a Cat and the last with a Cummins. Rather than a mechanical link to the throttle there is a rheostat under the accelerator peddle that sends a signal to increase fuel. On one coach the rheostat failed and on the other it had come unplugged. In both cases all the coaches would do is idle, no increase in revs even if you floored the peddle.

Tom, quit using all that technical jargon....:B:B:B....Dennis

Call Steve at Cruise King with your coach vin and see if he can help, 507-334-0250.

Something do to with the exhaust brake and brake light electronics not releasing properly when you step on the accelerator.

If that works, let me know cause the fix for that is easy and cheap.

We had a similar exhaust brake problem -- had just had a new one installed and experienced a total loss of acceleration whenever it was switched on, after the brake was activated. The temporary fix was switching the brake off! The long term one was replacing the old solenoid on the brake which turned out to be defective.

I have the :King throttle/cruise. I had the same problem a month ago.I havea Duromax/cc chassis. The control box is facing down from the frame, between the 325 cummings and the tranny, on the passenger side. I took a hammer and GENTLY struck the bottom of the control box. I heard the switch open/close with an audible click. BINGO! they don,t go bad that often, just freese up.

X-2!!!. That is if you have the King Throttle/Cruise control unit, or the newer replacement King Control cruise/throttle control unit. Your circuit board might have died. And Steve is excellent with customer service if you have one of those units.

If you are using cruise control to set the idle, the accelerator with be non responsive. Check that the cruise control is off.
