Gm has put the problem under tsb 94-c-59 or 94v049 it specifically states that they will repair the problem at no cost regardless of age, ownership, or mileage. This problem does not fall under a recall listing. The car constantly stalls because of the problem, and I am unable to use any of the electrical devices on the car including headlights or it immediately stalls. As a result of the problem I have had the parts replaced described in 94-c-59. I will try to see if I can keep the old parts. Continuing to drive the car could result in crash, fire, of failure of car to start. Gm has failed to recognize this problem or honor their own official statements. I have paid for the new parts and labor involved in fixing this problem. I have kept the receipts and copies of tsb 94-c-59 for record.
