SUBJECT:
EGR VACUUM SOURCE HOSES MAY BE PLUGGED
MODELS AFFECTED:
1983 CENTURYS EQUIPPED WITH 3.0L (VIN E) ENGINES
General Motors has determined that certain 1983 Centurys equipped with 3.0L Federal/California V-6 engines may be emitting pollutants in excess of
Federal/California Emission Standards. The EGR vacuum source hoses located in the emission harness connector at the EGR solenoid may be plugged
and not allowing the EGR valve to operate, resulting in an increase of exhaust emissions.
To correct this condition on these vehicles, dealers are to inspect the EGR vacuum supply hoses and clear the restriction as instructed in the Technical
Procedure of this bulletin.
