ROUGH IDLE/COLD START STALL (RPL. PROM/RESET MINIMUM IDLE)

SUBJECT: ROUGH IDLE COLD/COLD START STALL (REPLACE PROM AND RESET MINIMUM IDLE SPEED)

MODELS: 1991-93 C6, C7, B7, AND P6 TRUCKS WITH 6.OL GAS ENGINES

CONDITION

Some owners of 1991, 1992, and early built 1993 model year C6, C7, B7, P6 trucks with the 6.OL gas engines may comment of rough idle cold or of a cold start stall.

CAUSE

The cold spark curve in the calibration and idle speed were not optimal for all temperatures.

CORRECTION

In mid-March 1993, a new calibration and TBI unit entered production to help improve the above two conditions. If normal diagnostics cannot correct these conditions, replace PROM (see chart) and reset the minimum idle speed.

1. Connect Tech 1 scanner to data link connector and read PROM I.D. If I.D. is different than those listed in chart below, replace PROM.

2. Set minimum idle speed to 575 (+/- 25) rpm per instructions in your 1993 model year Medium Duty Fuel and Emission Manual (see pages 4-15, 4-16).

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.
