SUBJECT: ENGINE MAY EXPERIENCE COLD START STALL (INSTALL NEW MEM-CAL)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1990-92 "W", 1991-92 "C/E", 1992 "H" W/3800 (VIN CODE L)

Some 1990-92 W models, 1991-92 C and E models, and 1992 H models equipped with 3800 T.P.I. engines (Code L), may experience a condition described as engine does not stay running on initial cold start.

This calibration was a running change for the 1992 model year. Be sure to check MEM-CAL scanner I.D. as the vehicle may already have this correction.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
