Ideas? help? First motorhome , fuel issue, 81 P30 454
So, I knew when I bought her that I would have to put a substantial amount of money toward issues I would come across, she is old.
That being said I have a very general question regarding the process and where I should begin to diagnose and fix a problem that has arisen.
When I bought the 81 p30 454 pace arrow (80K), she ran great all the way home, 260 miles, outside temp 5degrees Cold!. Then, a week later I fired her up to drive to a shop 70 miles away, I did let her warm up for a half hour, (outside temp 22degrees) as I was driving immediately I could tell she was misfiring, I could break 55mph, then she got worse and felt like I lost another cylinder, couldn't break 45mph.
My question is where should I start, from the tank forward, or start with typical plugs, wires, cap and rotor?
does anyone have experience with these old rigs and my issue? anty advice would be helpful.
