Condition, Vehicles & Dealer Information

CONDITION

General Motors has determined that the carburetor throttle body assembly on certain 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagons may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. As a result, the primary throttle valves may not provide the proper air/fuel mixture causing poor engine idle quality. In addition the transmission throttle valve (T.V.) cable may have been improperly adjusted..

To correct this condition, the carburetor throttle body assembly is to be replaced and the T.V. cable adjusted as outlined in the service procedure section of this bulletin.
