Within site of our campground, well if you could call it a campground, the coach is just flat, no power. The engine is running but will not rev above 600 rpm. Luckily I can coast into the campground, and idle speed slowly rolls me to our site. Good karma payback for all the folks I have helped on the road this trip.
No engine codes. No engine lights. Fuel filter is 1/4 way on on the sight glass, so it’s not likely fuel filter is the issue. It’s been climbing pretty steep grades with not a problem. All engine parameters are exactly as they should be. But nothing happens when you press the accelerator.
Hmm, quick diagnostic. Press High Idle switch. Engine revs.
A ha, this is a electrical problem. So I tried the Bill Gates software fix. I unplugged the sensor on the accelerator pedal and plugged it back in. Voila, all is good.
Nevertheless, a new sensor will be waiting at our next stop. Next stop cause the lady at the office says USPS, UPS, and FedEx don’t deliver here.
I had good karma on this one.
Posting to amuse you, and to provide some clues if you ever have a similar situation.
Glad you were able to narrow it down quickly, I am trying to build up as much good Karma as I can for these kinds of issues.
Off the subject, but do you know about the Wanderlodge member that lives in Kodiak. His name is Larry, never met him but have been watching his YouTube channel and keep in touch that way.

Also there is a bus guy I know that has a place in Tok, not sure if he is up there now, he may be in FL.
