VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1987-89 A/N/P CARS

This bulletin cancels and supersedes bulletin 88-625-107.

If these conditions cannot be addressed through normal service procedures, they may be repaired by installing the appropriate hardware as outlined below.

SERVICE PROCEDURE:

1) Use a scanner to determine the PROM I.D. that is currently in the vehicle.

2) Look for that PROM I.D. in Table 1 or Table 2 as indicated below, and select the corresponding required parts:

If the major condition is hard hot engine restart, use Table 1.

If hard hot engine restart is not the major problem, but the condition is intermittent high idle (similar to cold fast idle), spark knock, and/or Code 42, use Table 2.

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.
