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:Warning lightStalls or shuts offLeakMisfire or rough idleLoss of engine power, no accelerationCorrosion or rustNoiseSmoke or fire

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Fuel containing more than 10% ethanol in vehicles not designated for E-85 can cause driveability issues, Service Engine Soon lights and increased fuel system corrosion.

    3. 3Correction

      Caution

      • All other gasoline engines, including all 5.3L V8 with VIN designators other than the letter Z, are not E-85 compatible.
      • Only vehicles designated for use with E-85 should use E-85 blended fuel.
    Read the sentences of the record

    From the manufacturer’s document

    • Applies to：The only E-85 compatible vehicles GM produced are 2000 - 02 S series pickups with the 2.2L L43 engine and 2002 - 05 full-size pickups and utilities with the 5.3L L59 VIN code Z V8 engine.
    • Caution：All other gasoline engines, including all 5.3L V8 with VIN designators other than the letter Z, are not E-85 compatible.
    • Caution：Only vehicles designated for use with E-85 should use E-85 blended fuel.
    • Cause：Fuel containing more than 10% ethanol in vehicles not designated for E-85 can cause driveability issues, Service Engine Soon lights and increased fuel system corrosion.

    Remedy
    E-85 Fuel The only E-85 compatible vehicles produced by General Motors are 2000 - 02 S series pickups equipped with the 2.2L L43 4-cylinder engine and 2002 - 05 full-size pickups and utilities equipped with the 5.3L L59 VIN code Z V8 engine. All other gasoline engines including all 5.3L V8 with VIN designators other than the letter Z are not E-85 compatible. Only vehicles designated for use with E-85 should use E-85 blended fuel. Use of fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol in non E-85 designated vehicles can cause driveability issues, Service Engine Soon lights, and increased fuel system corrosion.

    E85 Fuel Effects on Non-E85 Vehicles Information

    1. 1Fault

      • Using this fuel in a non-compatible vehicle may cause lean driveability concerns such as hesitation, sag and/or possible stalling.
      • Fuel trim DTC P0171 and/or P0174 may set.
