Keep your RV generator running reliably with this comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting guide for Onan, Generac, and Cummins units.
The ultimate guide to Ford F53 chassis ownership covering everything from routine maintenance to advanced troubleshooting. Learn about common issues, upgrade options, and keep your motorhome running reliably.
Multiple coil codes on driver side likely common wiring, ground, or PCM driver issue. Check shared circuits before replacing coils.
F53 460 timing marks on harmonic balancer viewed through timing pointer. Clean and mark with white paint for visibility. Use timing light at idle.
A Ford F53 V10 that cranks but won't start with cam sensor faults typically indicates wiring harness issues, timing chain problems, or PCM communication failures. Focus on checking the cam sensor wiring circuit and timing synchronization between crank and cam sensors.
Your 2015 Vista's V-10 pulsing issue that started after mountain passes in Montana is likely caused by a failing mass airflow sensor, throttle position sensor, or fuel delivery problem. The "Fault received from External Node" code suggests a communication issue between engine management and instrument cluster that may be related.
Yes, you're absolutely on the right track - your testing clearly points to a PCM failure in the ground switching circuit for the drivers side coil bank. The fact that you have +12v but no ground pulse during cranking confirms the PCM isn't completing the circuit.
On the Ford V-10 engine, the temperature sending unit is located on the front of the engine block, typically on the driver's side near the thermostat housing. It's a brass or plastic sensor with a single wire connector.
1990 Tioga E-350 no start - check battery, fuel pump operation, spark in that order. Listen for fuel pump hum with key on. Check inertia switch reset button. Common failures are fuel pump relay and ignition module.
Your Ford F53 no-spark issue is likely caused by a faulty distributor pickup coil, damaged wiring harness, or defective ignition control module connections. Check the pickup coil resistance and inspect all ground connections first.
When your RV propane furnace clicks but won't light, it's usually caused by a dirty or failing igniter, blocked air intake, low propane pressure, or faulty control board. Most issues can be resolved by cleaning the igniter, checking propane supply, and ensuring proper airflow.
You don't need to unfasten the wire harness brackets on the E450 V10 to replace coil #3. Simply disconnect the coil connector and fuel injector if needed, then work the coil out past the fuel rail using the proper socket and extension.
Generac oil drips after breather hose replacement suggest other issues: check oil level, breather valve, hose routing, and valve seals. Clean engine and observe where oil first appears.
Furnace rumble and backfire indicates air-fuel mixture problems. Check gas pressure at manifold, deep clean burner by soaking, and inspect heat exchanger. Delayed ignition from weak spark or dirty igniter also causes this. May need replacement on 20+ year unit.
