TECHNICAL

Subject:

Engine Low Power, Stall, No Start
(Replace Modular Fuel Sender Assembly and Fuel Filter)

Models:
2000-2001 Chevrolet and GMC S Pickup Models
With 2.2 L Engine (VIN 5 - RPO L43)

Condition

Some customers may comment on the engine exhibiting a low power, stalling, and/or a no start condition.

Cause

A restricted or plugged modular fuel sender/pump assembly fuel strainer may result in reduced fuel flow.

Correction

Replace the existing modular fuel sender assembly with a new assembly, P/N 15073337 and the existing fuel filter with a new filter, P/N 15077584. The new modular fuel sender assembly is equipped with a larger mesh strainer and the new fuel filter is designed to filter not only the fuel directed to the engine, but also the fuel being returned to the fuel tank. When replacing the modular fuel sender assembly, a new sender to tank seal, P/N 15073338, will also be required.

When replacing the required components, follow the applicable service procedure in the 2001 Service Manual.
