Hector,
My previous Marathon and current Country Coach has a button on the console next to your left arm marked "idle". Not sure about your vinatage, but others may jump in here.

Mine is left of the steer console by my left knee. Fast Idle is the far left of the four buttons, two stage jake is next

My '93 Country Coach had the idle button on the left side near the jake brake and cruise control buttons. As I remember it was about third button down on the left hand row of buttons, and would be labled something like Idle.
You do have to be in neutral for sure, and probably the parking brake on as Jon mentioned.

It's interesting that a couple of you have mentioned using the cruise control. I had spoken last month with Nick Hessler and he mentioned that procedure, but it was to check the cruise control. I didn't get the impression that it was there in lieu of a fast idle button?parking brake on

In my 1996 Country Coach the switch is on the left side panel by the window.
Here is the photo, switch is marked RPM.
Heck guys--bad scoop on my part--the cruise control thing was the way it was done on my last two coaches--one a Detroit and one a Cummins.Originally Posted by Jim_Scoggins
What was I thinking? Or not.
Current Coach has a switch jobby as others have inferred.
My coach is still not here with me. Still down at Parliament for the re-do--hope to go get it this month.

This is an old thread but I have an issue on topic so maybe someone can help. 2000 H3 today when I stopped and turned on the fast idle switch, no change to the idle. When I got to the end of my trip I tried again and the high idle was not coming on. I have not done any trouble shooting yet as I am trying to get some suggestions on what it might be. Thanks for any help
