This bulletin is being revised to include the fuel filter. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-007B (Section 06-Engine).

Important: Before the technician begins diagnostics and repair, be sure to follow the guidelines in Corporate Service Bulletin 03-06-04-036 to avoid fuel system contamination.


Important:: 'GM of Canada' dealers are required to contact the GM Technical Assistance Centre (TAC) to review the completed diagnostic worksheet and obtain a case number prior to injector replacement.


<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1563951&psdid=297&evc=sm#ss1-1563951">Condition

Some owners may comment on the Service Engine Soon light becoming illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician will find DTCs P0087, P0093 or P1093. Additional customer comments may include a lack of power, a fuel smell on the oil dipstick, fuel in the engine oil, fuel coming out of the crankcase breather, the engine cranks but does not run, or a hard start condition. This condition will not cause an engine misfire. Do not apply this bulletin to any diagnostic other than what is identified in the chart below.

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1563951&psdid=297&evc=sm#ss2-1563951">Cause

The fuel injectors have internal conditions that may cause them to return an excessive quantity of fuel to the tank, as well as leak fuel into the crankcase. Due to the return flow and/or leakage, the fuel injection pump may not be able to build up adequate fuel rail pressure.

<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1563951&psdid=297&evc=sm#ss3-1563951">Correction

Important: Before the technician begins diagnostics and repair, be sure to follow the guidelines in Corporate Service Bulletin 03-06-04-036 to avoid fuel system contamination.


Follow current diagnostics for the condition the vehicle is experiencing, then reference the table below. If the diagnostics lead to Fuel System Diagnosis - High Pressure Side, follow the diagnostic until the Fuel Injector Return Flow is measured at each cylinder bank return connection (bank to bank).

Important: When installing the new fuel injectors, lubricate the inside of the fuel injector sleeve with clean engine oil prior to installing the injector. Do not lubricate the injector or o-ring seal prior to installation.


If fuel return flow on either the right or left cylinder bank is above the initial fuel injector bank return flow value, then replace all eight (8) fuel injectors using the Fuel Injector Replacement procedure in the Engine Controls section of the appropriate Service Manual.

Record all diagnostic data as outlined on a copy of the attached diagnostic worksheet. The diagnostic worksheet and a copy of the repair order is to be returned with the removed injectors.

After replacing injectors, perform the following steps:

<LI type=1>Replace the fuel filter element. <LI type=1>Install all disconnected and removed components. Refer to the applicable procedures. <LI type=1>Start and idle the engine. You may have to prime the fuel system before the engine will start. <LI type=1>Connect a scan tool.

2001-2002 Model Year vehicles may be covered by Special Policy Number 04039. Please refer to Special Policy Number 04039 before submitting any warranty claims.

For vehicles repaired under warranty, use:

</TD><TD vAlign=center align=middle>8.0 hrs*

</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=center colSpan=3>*Note: The labor time represents a reduction over the previously published time due to unnecessary steps in the repair procedure being eliminated, such as removing the radiator shroud and accessory drive belt. Also, the original add time to replace all injectors was overstated. Finally, the number of diagnostic steps have been adjusted because individual injectors are not being diagnosed. The labor time guide will be revised in the near future.

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Important: All replaced injectors must be returned to the WPC. IMPORTANT: WAIT TO RECEIVE THE WPC PART RETURN REQUEST PRIOR TO RETURNING THE INJECTORS. Please follow Corporate Bulletin #99-00-89-019B that applies to the WPC return procedures. Canadian dealers should refer to "Home Office Letter #99-201" dated 01-05-99 for all WPC returns. All eight (8) injectors of a single engine must arrive at the WPC boxed or bagged together. A copy of the part request, repair order with technician comments and the completed diagnostic worksheet should be included with the injectors. The tags found in the replacement injector box must be completed and attached to each injector. The WPC will be verifying sets of injectors for high flow rates.

Hey Max , my SES light came on,two days later,it would start and idle rough like it was staving for fuel, that stopped and now its blowing white smoke and with the pedal to the floor goes a whooping 20 mph. towed to dealer today.
is it my turn for injectors? or is it something else.. it has 18,757 miles only, no towing.
