POOR PERFORMANCE WIDE OPEN CARBURETOR METERING RODS

MODELS AFFECTED: 1982 ELDORADO AND SEVILLE

Some 1982 "E/K" vehicles equipped with a 4.1L V-6 engine may experience poor performance at wide open throttle. This may be described as running out of fuel when actually the engine is running too rich.

A secondary metering rod package (rods coded "DZ") with part number 17075268 has been released for service on these vehicles.

Service Manual procedures for removal and installation should be followed.

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.
