RATTLE NOISE AT IDLE WITH BRAKES APPLIED

Model and Year: 1985-88 SPRINT

Dealer service Bulletin 88-214-5 is being reissued to correct the involved models. The bulletin affects 1985-88 Sprint vehicles, not Spectrums. All copies of 88-214-5 dated May, 1988 should be discarded.

Some of the subject vehicles may exhibit a rattle noise from the area of the brake booster when the engine is idling and the brake applied. This condition is more common on vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and occurs only when the engine is cold.

The repair is to replace the vacuum check valve at the booster using P/N 96057459 available from GMSPO.

This part has been revised in order to prevent the check valve being agitated by the vacuum pulses present in the vacuum line to the booster at idle.

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.
