460 ford engine Linda 1-16-05  
I own a 460 1994 Bounder. I have experinced loss of power, moves in idle. After setting for some time it will run again, then the same thing happens again. Any suggestions.
Thanks,

I need to change your fuel pump. Where is it located on a 1984 Coachman Class C 26 ft?

It sounds like a heating problem,possibly the computer gets overloaded and won't complete a cycle in the system such as "lean or rich" fuel to your engine.
I have had this problem before and a computer will remedy it.

I own a 1993 fleetwood and had the some problem, you need to change your fuel filter. it is located on the drivers side frame rail. it requires a special tool that any auto parts store should have.
I keep a spare filter in my motorhome just incase.
here is a little advice never let the fuel get below a 1/4 a tank. the fuel pump is notoris for going out on this motor. by keeping fuel in the tank it keeps the pump from overheating and going out. if your filter keeps stopping up be prepared the replace the fuel pump. I had to replace mine at 42,000 miles on the side of the road.
I now replace the fuel filter every time I change the oil, its cheap insurance.
I hope this is useful to you.

Bought 1999 Fleetwood tioga 22ft. Ford E 35 Super duty triton V8 on cab. They told me it was a V8 460. Would easily pull 22ft boat fully loaded.
It is actually a 351. How do I find difference in value of engines and should I be pulling a 22ft boat fully loaded. They've already deducted for telling me it was a yr 2000 and paid towards brake job.

Fuel Pumps. Should they be responsible?

Idle is fine, will not rev past 1/4 THROTTLE. no check engine light acts like a governor, will die out on continous revving. changed fuel filter, no effect
