The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:LeakStalls or shuts offWarning lightGauge or instrument faultSmoke or fireDoes not startMisfire or rough idleLoss of engine power, no acceleration

Record by record

10 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it was fixed1
  • says it did not fix it1
  • result not stated2

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Known issuesOut of fuel with the gauge reading above empty, cranks but no start, stall (replace the fuel sensor, not the sender module)2

    Fault
    DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE FUEL TANK HAS LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GASOLINE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNLESS MORE GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO THE TANK.
    Remedy
    THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED.

  2. Owner complaint2003 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2005-06-29

    Engine dies or fails to start with 1/4 tank or more of fuel

    3. 3Correction

    Read the sentences of the record
    Fault
    2003 YUKON XL WOULD DIE LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS WHEN IT STILL HAD AT LEAST 1/4 TANK OR IT WOULD NOT START WHEN IT HAD AT LEAST 1/4 TANK OF GAS BUT IF YOU ADDED 1 - 5 GALLONS (= 3.79–18.9 L) OF GAS IT WOULD START.
    Outcome
    SEEMS TO BE FINE NOW.

Known issuesIntake manifold gasket leak (cold idle misfire, lean codes)1

  1. Owner complaint2002 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2006-03-02

    2002 Yukon XL running poorly in cold weather; hard start and no start; intake gaskets and fuel pump issues

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

      What the documents say to do

      Intake manifold gasket leak (cold idle misfire, lean codes)

      Confirm

      • The seals may leak around the bottom side of the port, which makes the vacuum leak hard to detect.

      Repair

      1. Only the current teal green gaskets should be used; the old gaskets were orange.
      2. The intake bolts must be replaced and not reused.

      Caution

      • Do not measure the intake manifold across all four intake runner ports.

    ORIGINAL PROBLEM: MY 2002 YUKON XL WAS RUNNING POORLY WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED COLD - BELOW 30 DEGREES. (1 more)
    Cause
    BOTH PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH ETHANOL OR UNLEADED GAS.
    Inspection
    PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY INTAKE GASKETS DUE TO IMPROPER DESIGN. (1 more)

    Fuel Injection Cleaner Kit Service Bulletin

    1. 1Fault

      • Rough idle, crank no start, extended crank or misfire, with the engine warning lamp on and DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 or P0308 set.
      • When the engine is cold, compression on multiple cylinders may be zero.
      • The engine may pop through the intake or exhaust while cranking, and the spark plugs may be fuel fouled.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Major carbon build-up on the intake and/or exhaust valves from fuel contamination or incomplete burning of the fuel; misfires should not appear before at least 8,000 km (5,000 mi).

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If there is no valve damage and no cam follower out of place, perform the cleaning procedure to free sticking valves and remove carbon from the valves and pistons.
      2. If valves are damaged or cam followers are out of place, make the engine mechanical repairs first and then perform the cleaning procedure to prevent a return.
      3. Fill Cleaner Kit J-35800-A with about 650 ml (22 oz, 2 cans) of Air Intake, Combustion Chamber Cleaner and set the air pressure at the tool to 260 kPa (40 psi).
      4. With GDS 2 or a scan tool, command engine idle to 2000 rpm so the engine does not stall.
      5. With the engine at operating temperature in a well-ventilated area, slowly and carefully induce the cleaner into the engine, taking about 3 minutes.

      Parts

      • The Top Engine Cleaning Kit (ACDelco Air Intake, Valve and Combustion Chamber Cleaner and ACDelco Fuel System Cleaner 44K) is 19435372 for the U.S. and Canada.

      Part numbers printed in the document

      The numbers are as the document prints them. The name and the replacing number are what the pages of GMPartsGiant, a reseller of genuine parts and not GM, state. Aftermarket equivalents are not checked here (the links only search by number). Confirm the fit for the vehicle (VIN) before ordering.

      Caution

      • Inducing too much cleaner at too low an RPM, or stalling the engine with too much cleaner at once, may hydro-lock the engine and bend a connecting rod.
