He finally did remove the EFI throttle body and revert back to the carb as I had suggested early on and is now up and running the last I heard. The FiTech in that coach was installed so one could revert back to the carb in a matter of a half hour or so in the event of any kind of an on-road issue, but he seemed reluctant to do that for a long while. They have a shop in Denver where he did his bus conversion so they will lay over there while doing the root cause analysis and affecting repairs needed. I am just glad they now appear to be safe.

Jim K, thanks for calling him with help! We all appreciate your willingness to step forward even on a weekend.

Could this be a bad case of vapor lock. High altitude and very hot even with FI could do it. have they let the coach cool down and tried it?

When they tried to start back up the engine would turn over normally but not start. no trauma, no noise, just wont start. I have exhausted my ability to help. Anyone in that region able to at least give them at least moral support? Names are Coleen and Mike Alred phone (907) 299-0793. They have two grand daughters with them ages 8 and 9. Thanks.

Just curious Jerry. Did he check the fuses for the FiTech?
