REGARDING CPI FAILURE: CHECK "O" RING BEHIND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR(ROUGH IDLE,LOSS OF POWER,REDUCED GAS MILEAGE; FUEL IN MANIFOLD; WHEN TESTING FUEL PRESSURE IT DROPS ALMOST INSTANTLY WHEN FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF) PRETTY EASY TO MISTAKE FOR A CPI FAILURE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE EGR VALVE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE MIXING WITH THE FUEL WAS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. (WHEN THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP IN THE EGR VALVE, IT WOULD LEAVE IT OPEN AND CAUSED NO VACUUM HARD PEDAL AND BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN IT RAINED OR WAS COLD THE TRUCK RAN ROUGH. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD RUN ROUGH MORE THAN ONCE, NOISE WAS PRESENT AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNT WIRES AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED SOFT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OTHER BRAKE COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO TRY AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE CD PLAYER HAD NOT WORKED SINCE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CHANGED, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE, A NOISE WOULD OCCUR WHEN TURNING BUT WAS NOT DUPLICATED, AND THE MUFFLER TAIL PIPE HAD FALLEN OFF AND RUSTED DUE TO CARBON BUILD-UP. THE EGR VALVE WAS CLEANED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IN ORDER TO PERFORM A PROPER JOB, THE EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP IN THE UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH EFFECTED THE EGR PENDEL, AND THE 02 SENSOR COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, FUEL PUMP, THE BRAKES, ETC. THE BRAKES SQUEAKED, THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS, NO AIR CONDITIONING, AND NO 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THE FUEL INJECTIONS NEEDED TO BE CHECKED, AND THERE WERE TWO RECALL STICKERS ON THE ENGINE. *SCC THE REAR WIPER MOTOR, FUEL INJECTORS AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED.

4 EGR VALVES (AND I HAVE GOT TO PUT THE 5TH ONE ON NOW) IN THE LAST 3 YEARS $200.00 EACH. 2 CMFI UNITS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR LEAKING THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED $500.00 EACH. FUEL PUMPS $80.00 EACH TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. COOLING IS A PROBLEM IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED BUT IT WOULD LIKE TO IN THE SUMMER. I AM A MECHANIC AND ALL OF MY CARS ARE TAKEN CARE OF TO THE SLIGHTEST DETAIL BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL TO REPLACE THIS STUFF MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LIFE OF A CAR MUCH LESS A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR.
