FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF MY ENGINE AS I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING SPACE. I LITERALLY SAW MY FUEL GAUGE GO FROM FULL TO NEARLY 1/4 IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS A FIRE STATION RIGHT THERE TO ASSIST ME. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO FIRE. THE LOCAL GM MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN ALOT OF THESE PARTICULAR PROBLEMS (FUEL RAIL). WHEN I CONTACTED GM, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM TO WARRANT A SEARCH. I SAID THAT MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR THE NIGHT BEFORE AND IT COULD HAVE BURNED HER TO DEATH. HE SAID THAT HE WAS SORRY, BUT COULDN'T HELP ME AT THIS TIME. *AK FAULTY FUEL RAIL PROBLEM. *SC *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
BEGINNING IN MAY 2003 WE HAVE HAD OUR 2002 OLDSMOBILE AURORA STALL EIGHT DIFFERENT TIMES. IT ALWAYS STALL AFTER BEING DRIVEN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. IT STALLED MOST OFTEN WHILE LEAVING EXIT RAMPS AND MAKING LEFT TURNS ONTO SURFACE STREETS. ONCE IT STALLED AT A TOLL BOOTH. THE LOCAL DEALER CHANGED PARTS IN MAY 2003 AND FEBRUARY 2004. AFTER THE LAST TWO INCIDENTS IN MAY 2004, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE, BUT ARE STILL TRYING. WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT WITH THE CAR STALLING AS WE CROSS BUSY HIGHWAYS, WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BROADSIDE AT LEAST TWO TIMES. *LA
