Date: July, 1992


SUBJECT:
MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER OR HESITATION ON TURNS


MODELS AFFECTED:
1990-1992 DE VILLES, FLEETWOODS, AND SIXTY SPECIALS


Some 1990-1992 DeVilles, Fleetwoods, and Sixty Specials may experience a momentary loss of power or hesitation while driving on sweeping right-hand curves, such as an exit ramp, or on hard right turns with low fuel level (generally six gallons or less).

Vehicles that have the above symptoms may have fuel pumps and strainer assemblies slightly mispositioned on the tank sending unit causing the strainer to not stay fully submerged in fuel.

To repair this condition replace the fuel pump strainer with P/N 25121783. This new strainer will stay submerged in fuel to prevent starvation.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
