    6/15/2019 recapp ---   After road testing and being left beside the road and being towed to Cummings in Savannah Ga,  waiting 5 days to be looked at and several days diagnosing (over Memorial Day Weekend) several diagnosis came back different each time.  Finally the High Pressure Pump was singled out , from line from tank to engine bad, tank bad, and several other conditions  Pump was installed total bill:  Labor $3924.00  Parts Misc Charges $4620 = $8544.00.   This is after paying $900.00 to local mechanic who gave up doing nothing to help and suggested taking to Cummins.  What an experence and at least I hope its fixed as only 50 miles put on so far.   After all this my house batteries failed completely and just up graded to AGM's from Flooded Lead Batteries. Also tow guys ran air to Coach and having trouble with air bags now eratic  so more diagnostic in process.

    jkhac, how long has this unit been parked and can the mobile mechanic pull ECM codes?

    When you step on the throttle, does any engine light come on or is it on already?

    It has been mostly still about a year maby little longer -- RV Resort I live at requires 90 day turn around (go out gate and come back in) - and I have had a couple of 100 mile trips (evacuation for hurricane) and home trip once.  F'uel was added last trip and now have little above 1/2 tank.  I don't know about his ability to pull ECM
     codes yet,  will find out when he gets here.  I noticed on trip little stumble on acceleration after reaching cruise speed and learned to barely easy fuel by accelerator worked,better but it always worked at cruise speed, and was towing Ford Explorer,  not at lower speed kkor idle speed like its doing now.  No engine lights or warnings lights have ever come on.

    jkhac,

    Welcome to the Forum.

    As Brett said check your codes to start.

    I question your statement " MotorHome has old fuel and has been recycled through filter and put back in and changed both Fuel Filter and Water Separator and Algae chemical put in fuel tank." If it were me I would have removed the old fuel and replaced it with new fuel. 

    I had a similar situation where I could slowly get up to speed but had no power. It turned out to be the High Pressure Pump. I also have a 2002  Monaco Dynasty with a 400 ISL.

    We wish you luck and please tell us what you found, it will help other that may have a similar issue.

    Herman

    Thanks -- Mobil Mechanic here at our Resort has pump with filter - we pumped out one side of fuel tank side to other side fuel tank side through his filter on machine.  He is coming back when he can and we'll go further with diagnostics.  Will post again after that so  Thanks for all the info so far.

    Long-shot here, but does the engine have engine brakes? (Jake brakes)

    This happened to me once when the Jakes were set wrong. They are only supposed to engage when the throttle is in a no-fuel position. As soon as you touch the throttle the Jakes should disengage. When this happened to mine they were on all the time and would not permit any acceleration. The engine idled perfectly, but as soon as I touched the throttle the engine stumbled badly and sounded like the engine was about give out on me. Diagnosis was simple - I turned off the Jake brakes and the engine ran fine again.

    Thanks -- will check --   Only check I can do sitting still is pull up on pedal so I did that and it seems OK
