CAMPAIGN: COLD START VALVE- THERMAL AND TIME SWITCH WIRING
Model and Year: 1986 CHEVROLET CELEBRITY MODELS EQUIPPED WITH 2.8L MFI (RPO LB6) ENGINE
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
General Motors has determined that some 1986 Chevrolet Celebrity models equipped with 2.8L MFI (RPO LB6) engine may have two circuit wires inter- changed in the cold start valve thermal and time switch.
This can result in a grounding of the cold start injector power circuit. This grounding can blow the 10 amp fuse in the crank cavity. Thereafter, the cold start injector will not operate causing difficult or no starting.
To correct this condtion, the circuit wires will be inspected, and if required, be reversed and the "crank" fuse replaced per instructions in this bulletin.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
