HELP - 8V92 will not start

[Leroy Eckert]

This may be way out. Disconnect the main ground wire for the battery bank which should remove all power from the coach. Leave it disconnected for about 5 minutes. Reconnect and try to start. I guess a wire in the wrong place on the DDL could cause problems but I wonder about that. If that does not work check the main harness connection to the ECM for corrosion. And check the main battery ground that is attached to the coach frame on the curb side near the rear bumper(at least that is where mine is) Hope this helps. I doubt it is a filter.

I have been working on the coach for week but did not start the engine. I changed the themostate and checked the water pump on the generator engine. The generator now runs great. Yesterday I put new exhaust manifold gaskets on the street side of the coach engine. This morning I tried to start the engine to check the exhaust for leaks. The engine starts and runs for about 10 seconds and quits. High idle switch does not change result. Accelerator pedal has no effect. Check engine light does not stay on and the codes are the same as were there when I got the coach last year. My concern is that last week I tried to install a VMSpc JIB on the wrong plug and then after help from Rob, installed the JIB on right plug. It turned out the JIB was faulty. I am waiting for a replacement JIB. The concern is that that messing with the plugs has screwed up my ECM and that is causing the non-starting problem. The engine was running great about three weeks ago before I did all the above work. It could be plugged fuel filters. I am planning on changing filters tomorrow. It seems unlikely that it is plugged filter. My vaccuum gage does not move above low range when it is trying to run. Oil pressure moves to 40 lbs. Coolant level is full. I am real trouble because my wife was planning on leaving tomorrow on a two week trip. Any suggestions? How could I determine if I messed up the ECM? Larry Kehler 1994 PT-40WBDA St Louis
