1997 Holiday Rambler

Recommended Posts

I just recently bought a 1997 Holiday Rambler diesel pusher and am having problems accelerating. The pedal is very hard to push / depress. Any thoughts??? It is a Cummins 325

Also when i use cruise control I have plenty of acceleration. I went back to the engine compartment and checked the throttle and it had plenty of free movement and was fine. I am thinking the problem is in the accelerator pedal itself. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Burt,Welcome to the FMCA forum !

The fact that the cable was free at the engine throttle connection and the accelerator peddle is hard to depress, sounds like you might have 2 issues in the throttle linkage.

You mention the throttle cable is free at the engine, is it under spring tension that returns the cable to the idle setting freely ?

Gummed up or rusty pivot points on the peddle and a gummed up throttle cable tension return spring issue on the throttle assembly.

Burt,
Are you sure you have a throttle cable?

You may have throttle worked by a rheostat that transfers a signal to the engine.

It may be stuck or in a bind.
