I would have checked the coil. I guess you have an ignition module....start there. Good luck. Lots of really talented mecs here....they will help out.

Hi, is there a hidden kill switch under the dash somewhere?

Is it a good healthy crank when you said it turns over?
We have a Pace Arrow MH and it has an auxillary battery assist switch that allow juice from the house batteries to assist the engine better in starting when it's been sitting for a while. If yours doesn't have this, you could try jumper cables from a good battery.
Also, if it's been sitting all winter, check the gas tank - especially if it has been stored off site - might be empty. There's been a rash of gas theft from stored mohos because of gas prices.
You might also check the wires to be sure they are nice and tight and maybe replace the plugs?
Good luck - let us know how you solve it!

Ignition module, coil, rotor, ignition switch, fuses, fusible link, ECM.
First, check if the coil is getting power. Check to see if the coil is firing, if it is a remote coil. If not, go back to the fuses, fusible link, and switch. Mice love chewing wires.
If it has power, check to make sure the ignition module is getting power, then take a look at the rotor. They are cheap, sometimes corrosion can build on one and you won't see it. Replace it, and try again.
