The fuel line is leaking. It could start a fire and I have children. I found a recall on this already on another site but didn't know if it would still be valid to get it replaced. I just bought the vehicle from an individual and then 2 months after this happened. Consequence: (fuel leaks in the engine compartment can result in underhood fires if exposed to a source of ignition) summary: (the fuel feed and return lines to the engine fuel injection system were not fully assembled and locked. The lines can work loose) remedy: (dealer will inspect vehicle and, if necessary adjust or replace the fuel feed and return lines to the engine fuel injection system) I have a 1993 cadillac seville sts v8 4.6l that's what the recall said about the recall on this car. I have tried to buy new part but it is discontinued I am assuming because there's a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 1993 cadillac seville sts. The contact stated that fuel was leaking into the intake manifold. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer, however the manufacturer was notified.

Lower control arm, driver's side failure. Root cause: rust.
Brake lights on my 93 seville have been a problem since day one. I have replaced sockets and they continue to burn out, not the bulb but the sockets? I have asked other seville owners and they too have the same problem. Why hasn't this issue been addressed by gm. It is a safety issue?
Acceleration problem with 1993 sts cadillac. (nar) *ph
The car stalled and was towed to a repair shop. The next day it was brought into the shop. The mechanic turned the ignition switch to start, and the intake manifold exploded, sending pieces of the manifold throughout the shop. The explosion also damaged the power steering pump. It was later discovered that the cause of the explosion was fuel that had collected in the manifold due to a crack in the plastic fuel rail. Sometime during 1993 the manifold was re-designed to alleviate this problem, however, there were no recalls, leaving thousands(?) of cars with this potential problem. I did find a dealer service bulletin canceling an exchange program for the intake manifolds for this model and year. (no: 93-I-58).
Started the vehicle and it made a loud bang and smoke came rolling out from under the hood, looked and seen the intake manifold has a hole blown threw it and damage to the cover.
1993 cadillac seville experiencing gas tank leak.*mr the vehicle's plastic gas tank experienced a leak. The leak resulted in a puddle under the driver's side rear door and a strong gas odor.
