MODELS AFFECTED:
SOME 1989 AND EARLY BUILT 1990 BUICK LESABRES, ELECTRAS, RIVIERAS AND REATTAS EQUIPPED

cold engine extended crank, but if the ignition key is cycled, the engine will start.
If this condition is experienced on a vehicle with good fuel pressure and the basic engine controls and systems are performing properly, it may be
necessary to install a new service Mem-Cal with a recalibrated fuel multiplier ratio during cranking.
Service Mem-Cals are currently available from GMSPO.
