Some 1984 vehicles built prior to August 18, 1983 at the St. Louis Assembly Plant may have been built without the gasket for the EEC IV processor to
wire harness connector. Moisture can enter the processor and eventually lead to driveability concerns of "stumble and surge." This concern is likely to
occur at higher mileages (beyond 12,000 miles).
