LOSS OF POWER, HESITATION ON TURNS(REPL.FUEL PUMP STRAINER)

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.

For warranty purposes use Labor Operation J5595 at 1.2 hours.

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.
