Dealer Responsibility

It is the dealer's responsibility to check and repair each vehicle within the range of the campaign which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in dealer inventory.

Effective with the receipt of this information, dealers should perform the campaign repair for any affected vehicle entering their dealership. The practice of replacing injectors as individual components or performing partial fuel injector system repairs on vehicles in this campaign, should be discontinued immediately. The only authorized fuel injector repair for the vehicles in the campaign is specifically described in this bulletin, and as coded in this bulletin (P5137), regardless of prior repair history.

Preparation - Engine Performance Assessment Test

1. With the vehicle partially warmed up (temperature gauge moved slightly from full cold), and in neutral gear position, check the following items:

A. Does the engine start easily?

B. Does the engine idle at 1200 rpm or below?

C. Does the engine idle smoothly?

D. Does the engine stall during idle?

E. Are there any abnormal sounds such as vacuum leaks from the engine at idle?

F. Does the engine speed increase smoothly without hesitation, knocking and backfire?

NOTE
ANY DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS ON THE REPAIR ORDER AND ADVISE THE CUSTOMER OF THE CONDITION.
