Additonal failure dates / mi: 8-11-99 @20544 mi., 12-2-99 @ 21932 mi., 6-30-00 @24992mi, 10-13-00 @26737 mi., as you can see the problem repetes at about every 2000 - 2500 miles. Chevy says its a problem with the gas blends in ca & NY only" if this is true then why are they not having problems with all of there engines" the injection ports are defective and they refuse to fix ro repalce them. Insted they bring the van in for a "injector cleaning" per Chevy bulletin. The engine runs so rough it shakes the whole van! the fuel injector design is defective and needs to be fixed/recalled!
