Hi All:
We got up this morning and I emailed the Chevy dealer here in Memphis about an appointment to check out my engine. Got one at 0900 and we closed up the Motor Home and hit the road. Chevy dealer was about 20 minutes away. Got there in good time and they put their little computer on the rig and found that I had an "Air Flow" problem. Said it was probably the sensor in the air line. The Check Engine light had gone out from yesterday. He said it would take a couple days to get a sensor, but that I might not have that problem again. I then asked about the clicking sound I also heard that sounded like a Valve Lifter. Started the engine and he said, Yea, does sound like a lifter. He moved to the drivers side of the vehicle and looked under the wheel well and said. Well, look at that". There was one of the spark plug wires I paid $400 for installation hanging down on the side of the motor. Not hooked to the spark plug, and the clicking was the spark jumping to the side of the motor. He crawled under there and plugged it on to the plug and all was back to normal again. He said that with that cylinder not fireing may have been the cause for the engine check light to come on. And the best thing about that visit was they wouldn't take any $$$ for fixing it. Said it's the least they can do for someone travelling thru town... I did force enough on them to pay for their lunch though. Rig runs real good now. Plan to send a "Nasty Gram" back to the place that put my plug wires on....
We have not done anything all day. Seems we both were just to tired to go out. Will go to Graceland tomorrow. We can walk there. We are camped behing the Graceland Hotel, and everything about Graceland is in walking distance of the campground. We will have two days to see what we want to see here, then back on the road again to Loretta Lynn's place down the road to another campground...
Semper Fi.
