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.
Air conditioner:
The A/C evaporator freezes up because the compressor does not cycle off causing a lack of cooling. (1991-93)
Engine misfire:
Intermittent power loss, delayed start, no-start, and stalling when starting from a stop may be due to inadequate fuel pressure requiring a pump module with larger filter. (1991-93)
Engine misfire:
A faulty idle air control motor causes erratic idle, stalling after hot soak or during low speed deceleration. (1992-93)
Engine noise:
A lifter noise on 3.9-liter engines, is corrected by replacing the timing chain and sprockets with a double-roller chain. (1992-93)
Fuel gauge:
The fuel gauge reads lower than actual fuel level. The in-tank module must be replaced. (1991-93)
Transmission leak:
Transmission fluid leaks from the O-ring on the speed sensor. (1993)
