Condition General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2001 model year Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban; GMC Sierra and Yukon XL model vehicles, equipped with an 8.1L V8 (RPO L18 – VIN G) engine. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the crankshaft position sensor can fail intermittently or permanently. If the sensor fails intermittently, the Service Engine Soon (SES) light may illuminate and the vehicle may run rough. In addition, the engine may stall, and if so, may re-start immediately or after a cool down period. If the sensor fails permanently, the engine will quit running and will not re-start.

2004-2008 RX-8 DESCRIPTION Some vehicles may experience difficulty starting (cranks no start). A cranks, no start condition may occur after driving the vehicle a short distance without engine reaching normal operating temperature. Examples: starting a vehicle and moving it to wash it, engine stall due to misapplication of clutch then restart. This commonly occurs at port facilities or dealer lots where vehicles are frequently started cold, moved for short distances and then turned off. A cranks, no start condition may be caused either by fuel flooded spark plugs or lower than normal compression due to apex seals locked into rotor groove from carbon accumulation. NOTE: • After repairs, provide customers with CUSTOMER INFORMATION on the last page of this bulletin (for customers to try after a “CRANKS, NO START” condition, before towing to dealership). REPAIR PROCEDURE “A” 1. Verify concern by attempting to start engine. – If engine starts, return vehicle to customer. – If engine fails to start, go to STEP 2.

vehicles may experience difficulty starting (cranks no start). This may occur after driving the vehicle a short distance without engine reaching normal operating temperature. Examples: starting a vehicle and moving it to wash it, engine stall due to mis-application of clutch then restart. This commonly occurs at port facilities or dealer lots where vehicles are frequently started cold, moved for short distances and then turned off. This con- cern may also occur due to low cranking RPM during engine starting. A cranks, no start condition may be caused by fuel flooding resulting in either fouled spark plugs or lower than normal compression. Carefully follow REPAIR PROCEDURE “A” and refer to VIN application to determine nec- essary repair action. REPAIR PROCEDURE “A” 1. Inspect battery. Some vehicles will require battery replacement depending on VIN / production range, and / or visual iden- tification. 2005 and later Model Year vehicles DO NOT require battery replacement unless battery fails testing. Use the inspection procedure below to determine if battery replacement is necessary. a. Is the vehicle built after June 1, 2004 (starting with VIN JM1FE17******139714) – YES – Battery type is OK (Panasonic JIS 75D23L), go to STEP 2. – NO – Battery inspection is required, proceed to STEP 1b. b. Remove battery cover and inspect battery label. The following batteries are approved and DO NOT require replacement. If the vehicle’s battery type matches one of the following descriptions, proceed to STEP 2. • OEM Panasonic battery JIS specification “75D23L” • Mazda Genuine replacement battery part number 0000-80-6535-WB

Some vehicles, may exhibit drivability conditions.
These may include: • No start • Difficult to start • Stall • Low idle • Rough • High idle • Hesitation/surge while accelerating or at steady speed These conditions may be intermittent with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and no Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). In some cases DTC and MIL may be evident. ACTION Trouble cannot be identified with 95% of returned Idle Air Control (IAC) valves. The following procedure is supplemental information to normal diagnostics to facilitate accurate identification of malfunctioning valves. These symptoms would include engine stall, hard start, crank/no start, idling problems, and Idle Speed Control System related DTC’s. If the service writer uses the attached worksheet (Figure 2) for all drivability concerns including stalls it will assist the technician making a correct repair the first time.

A cranks, no start condition may be caused by fuel flooding resulting in either fouled spark plugs or lower than normal compression. Carefully follow REPAIR PROCEDURE “A” and refer to VIN application to determine necessary repair action. The following vehicle mass production changes have been implemented to improve starting performance: • PCM calibration – The PCM calibration was modified to reduce fuel injection amount during cold conditions. PCM calibration was modified in vehicle production on 3/12/04. • Battery – A higher capacity battery was introduced (6/1/04). • Engine starter – Revised to increase cranking compression at engine start. Implemented into vehicle production 11/8/04 (For AT models), 12/1/04 (For MT models). • Leading spark plugs – The leading spark plugs have been revised to reduce the possibilities of fuel flooding at cold engine start. Revised leading spark plugs were implemented in vehicle production on 3/22/05.
