I have a 1993 jayco with 460 engine, just wondering if any one has ever had any proplems with vapor lock towing a toad going up a steep mountain
I owned a 1988 Itasca with the 460 and never had a vapor lock issue. I'm not sure that condition can exist with mutli-port fuel injection? I did have one issue that presented itself with very similiar symptoms. The Catalytic became plugged at around 83000 miles, it eventually reached a point that the engine would not run beyond idle. Always happens during the most in opportune time, half way home in the middle of the desert on a 105 degree day:( At first I tried replacing the fuel filter but quickly discovered fuel flow was not the issue. Once I had the rig towed home "Good Sam ERS" I pulled the cat and sure enough a big round plug of what I will call it "cat guts" fell out on the ground. Replaced catalytic and all was fine...
