No Throttle Response on 1997 Monoco Dynasty w/8.3

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.

  • 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.
  • the inj pump throttle lever is not being pulled when you step on the gas pedal?
  • It may simply be too cold to take throttle, or the little thingie that senses that is messed up.
