Hey gents, we've finished a bunch of interior updates and are now running into running issues. My last trip going south on US95 in Nevada, I lost a decent chunk of power climbing up toward Tonopah. It was noticeable but not a showstopper, so I continued the journey. A couple hundred miles and a couple days of mountain biking later, it kicked back in somewhere in the virgin river gorge, and drove home without issue.
I was down for a little while with a power steering leak which I've now repaired and gotten back to driving the coach and wouldn't you know, it's gone down on power again. So far to chase it down I've replace the spark plugs, all had decent use, but none looked richer or leaner or gooeyer than the others, new plug wires, distributor cap, rotor. I'll dig out my timing light to see if that's within reason.
It's idling kind of lopey, revs just fine without load, but under load it struggles to get the coach rolling and has minor surging and stalling. I did notice when it was running with the air cleaner off, if I covered the throttle intake with my hand the idle raised and smoothed out - leading me to think it might be running lean?
I'm open to ideas and suggestions. I miss camping.
