Subject:87 Westy running poorly
From:Pat Callaghan

Hi,

     My bus has been running poorly lately.  I wrote a few weeks ago about a power loss & then when I pulled over it died.  Started right up but feels like it has a hesitation.  Starts perfect, idles fine but when it is accelerating it feels sorta flat.  Seems to be in any gear.  All tune-up related parts had been changed right before I bought it.(i have receipts)  I changed the fuel filter Tuesday to no avail.  I have also changed the blue temp sensor & ICU since I have had it.  I was going to check the basics first, compression, fuel pressure & spark but since it starts & idles so well I am not sure.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
