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.

There's a design flaw in vehicles' cap rotor distributor. It is located in the bottom of the engine close to the ground, so when vehicle is being driven in the rain, water goes into the rotor and moisture is accumulated. This results in the vehicle stalling while driving without warning. Manufacture was of no assistance.

The fuel pump in tank appears to have overheated causing the connection plug to overheat and melt the connector and wire. This vehicle is a police patrol car and was in being driven in regualr service when it began to stall. The officer restarted tha car sveral times as he drove it back to the station. Our repair shop drove the car into the service bay and performed regular diagostic service. The fuel pressure was tested at 70 lbs. Chevrolet spec is 41 to 47 lbs. We pulled the pump and found the pump powere wire and plug melted. Our concern is that this wire being submersed inside the fuel tank could have caused an explosion if the fuel level had been low. The heat generated from this problem area should have caused an interuption in power to the pump before the wire and connector were hot enough to melt. We are calling in all caprices to inspect this problem.
