High idle

Good afternoon everyone,

Please disregard, operator error.

I have two issues right now.

The coach won't go into high idle & I have low water pressure coming out of the Faucets and hardly any water coming out of the commode when flushed.

I just arrived at my coach a little while ago after not using it and it being in storage for 10 weeks.
Everything was checking out fine I started the coach and after letting it idle A little bit I pulled out the coach so I can put it in high idle. The engine RPMs only went up a couple hundred rPMs. Good oil pressure at 40 psi and engine water temperature at 118°F.
After several attempts and making sure that I was not in gear it continued to do the same thing so as of now I have the engine shut off.
Is there anything I should be checking ?


I solved the below problem by finding my tank fill switch on
I've been running the Fossetts because I want to change the water in the tank and have not noticed any water in the bay compartments at all thinking that there may have been a cracked pipe even though I left the heater on during the period of storage.
The pump is running with no water flowing.

I found my tank fill switch on so now I have great water pressure again

Thanks

How are you selecting the higher engine idle speed?

For water pressure, are you sure your tank fill valve is closed?  Is water pump running at normal speed, shutting off when faucets closed, etc?  If not, what are you observing that is unusual?

Hi Brett,
You hit it right on the nose.
When I was looking for water leaks in the bays I noticed the tank fill valve "on".

I was also pushing the wrong button on the steering wheel.

Embarrassed

Frank,

It is always nice to have solutions that cost zero dollars.
