How old is the fuel in the tank? How full is the tank? If the coach has been sitting for the better part of 5 years, and no fuel stabilzer was added, then it would seem the fuel could have gone bad. Typcially with regular gasoline you would just add more gasoline to bring the gasoline in the tank up to par, but with diesel I am not sure if the same principle applies. I am still a novice when it comes to diesels, so my advice is limited as to what to troubleshoot. Tom, or Mike will probably have more substantial advice for you. If the fuel is bad, then maybe the injectors have become clogged.

Did you change the fuel filters before you started the engine the first time, or after it stalled???

The 6V92 TA is a mechanical engine, and each cylinder has its own mechanically operated fuel injector. I believe there is also a recirculating pump somewhere that keeps the fuel circulating between the tank and the engine while in operation.
