#767060September 12, 2002
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE OF COMPUTER WHICH CONTROLS FUEL INJECTION. PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS, AS WHEN APPROACHING OTHER AUTOS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR VERY SLOW SPEED DRIVING. WHEN PRESSURE IS RELEASED FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE FUEL CONTROLLER INCREASES FUEL FLOW FOR 0.3 TO 1.0 SECOND THEN SLOWLY REDUCES FLOW TO NORMAL IDLE SPEED. ENGINE SPEED INCREASES IN THIS PROCESS (WITH TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NUETRAL TO OBSERVE IT) 500 TO 1500 RPM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT ELEVATED AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. (ABOVE 80 DEGREES, F.) THIS IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SEVERAL TIMES REAR-END COLLISIONS HAVE BEEN NARROWLY AVERTED. COMMUNICATION WITH OLDSMOBILE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE HAVE BEEN MET WITH RUDENESS AND THE PLAINLY STATED POSITION THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANTY OR OWNED BY AFTERMARKET OWNERS. *AK

#766313August 27, 2002
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THE FUEL RAIL IS COMPOSED OF PLASTIC SECTIONS OF TUBING CONNECTING THE FUEL INJECTORS. THESE SECTIONS DEVELOP SPLITS ALLOWING FUEL TO SPRAY ALL OVER THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR. BOTH TIMES I REPLACED THE BAD SECTIONS WITH RUBBER HOSE AND CLAMPS. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED EVERY ONE OF THESE CARS WILL DEVELOP THE PROBLEM AT SOME POINT IN TIME, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC FIRES.
