Thank you for your response. Is it possible to get one that is too big (amps wise)? I ask because my mechanic said he saw 100 amps listed on his parts site, yet other sites state that there is a 165amp....

1996 Ford Econoline E30 RV- Callista Cove Series M2844C Starting Problems My stepdad recently passed away and his RV was running fine when he parked it 4 years ago. I have installed a new battery and verified the fuel switch is set, but the engine turns over well, but will not start. I have even attempted to spray a little starting fluid through the filter intake hoping to see if it would even fire... but got nothing. I am seeking guidance on some of the things I can walk through and check ( as a process of elimination) to try to find the problem and would greatly appreciate any guidance and suggestions. Thanks in advance...Jon you ever have starting issues?
