Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Automatic transmission:
A buzzing noise on cars equipped with the 4L60 transmission can be repaired by reducing the pressure regulator. (1990-92)
Engine noise:
Piston slap may occur on 5.7-liter engines. (1990-92)
Engine noise:
Crunching or popping noises when the steering wheel is turned may be coming from two different sources. One is corrected by applying grease to the steering stops and knuckles, and the other requires enlarging the frame holes for the steering gear bolts. (1992)
Hard starting:
Hesitation, power loss, hard cold starting, and rough idle could be caused by a deteriorated fuel-pump coupler hose causing low fuel pressure. (1991-92)
Hard starting:
Hard cold starting and engine knock may be a problem unless a new PROM has been installed in the computer. (1991-92)
Steering problems:
The steering wheel may not return at low speeds, and is caused by the off-center mass of the aV. (1992)
