problem #2

May 072002

Silverado 6-cyl

  • 15,929 miles
Ignition system failure. The consumer experienced several failures of the ignition system in which the vehicle had to be towed on several occasion. The problem was determined to be an air conditioning hose which was routed directly over the distributor. The GM engineering felt that condensation from the hose falling onto the distributor was causing the repeated problems. In order to correct the problem the hose was wrapped in foam, however in March 2004 the vehicle felt as if it was misfiring. The dealer determined the distributor was corroded. The distributor was replaced several more times due to corrosion. The dealer replaced the coil wire.
