Distributor: Technical Service Bulletins
Ignition - Intermittent Stall When Put Into Gear
Bulletin No.: T-92-9
File in Group: 6E
Number: 92
Corp. Ref. No.: 116404
Date: Oct. 1991
SUBJECT: STALL WHEN PUT IN GEAR, TIP IN HESITATION, AND/ OR MISS INTERMITTENTLY
MODELS AFFECTED: 1990-1992 DE VILLES, FLEETWOODS, ELDORADOS, AND SEVILLES
Some 1990-1992 DeVilles, Fleetwoods, Eldorados, and Sevilles may experience a condition of an intermittent stall when put into gear and/or an
intermittent hesitation or miss.
This condition may be caused by the distributor being misoriented in the block. If the distributor is installed 90~ or 180~ out of position, the plug wires
may still be connected so that the cylinders all get spark at the correct time; but the cam sensor will not be positioned correctly. This may cause
sequential port fuel injection to be disrupted.
To determine whether the distributor is out of position, check whether the spark plug wire numbers all match the numbers molded in the distributor cap.
If not, then the distributor is misoriented.
To repair this condition refer to page 6D4-5 of the appropriate Service Information Manual and reorient the distributor as described under "If Distributor
Position Is Lost". Verify that all the plug Wires now connect to their proper positions as molded in the distributor cap.
