I recently drove from Norfolk Va. all the way down to Miami, Fl, strait through, except stopping for fuel. When I got to Miami the engine was idleing 200 rpms lower than normal and seemed tired and sluggish. I get home, shut it down and let it sit for 12 hrs or so, crank it up again and everything is back to normal. Just wondering if anybody else experiences this on a long haul. Not towing anything at the time.

 

That's a long drive. How many hours of driving? Must of had alot of caffine in your system.

 

I drove 18 straight hours stopping only for fuel and food and to let the wife and kid do what they usually do and also stretch. Yea, lots of caffine and Copenhagen !! Engine temp never went over 200 deg.

 

I just drove from Denver to Grand Coulee WA. (~1200 mi). Mine seemed to have a different attitude each time I fired it back up after fueling. Mileage was all over the place, I don't hink it was poor fuel. I've never had mine idle low, but the performance does seem to vary a bit.
