Plastic Manifold
I have a '96 Bonneville which had a warped plastic intake manifold. Does anyone know if there was ever a reimbursement program set up by Pontiac or GM for replacing that poorly conceived item?

Re: Plastic Manifold
Nope...and being on something that is 11 model years old...well...
There are many good fixes for these, look in the tech forum here... Not a big issue, IMO.

Must have been leaking for a while....as the warning signs appear long before catastrophic damage, IMO...

Re: Plastic Manifold
Check bonnevilleclub.com. They're really good with 3800s in general, and this issue has been mentioned a lot

The engine was actually shampoo'd before going on the used lot. Recall Date: 02/24/2004 Summary: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3800 V6 (L36) ENGINES AND CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, THE REGULATORS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL RATE OF FUEL LEAKS. A LEAK CAN ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THROUGH A VACUUM LINE. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN CRANKED, THE FUEL FROM THE LEAKING REGULATOR AND A MISTIMED SPARK CAN CAUSE A BACKFIRE. Consequence: THE BACKFIRE CAN RUPTURE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE RUPTURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN DISPLACE A FUEL LINE, PULLING AN INJECTOR OUT OF PLACE, AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIRE. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS WITH IMPROVED DIAPHRAGMS. THE RECALL WILL BE CONDUCTED IN PHASED MAILINGS. PHASE 1 BEGAN ON JUNE 30, 2004, AND PHASE 2 BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668. Potential Units Affected: 910873 Notes: BUICK LESABRE 03054B |
