## What is wrong

NOTE: FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES.

A SEAL FOR THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR MAY SWELL IN THE PRESENCE OF UNLEADED FUEL AND FORCE THE CONNECTOR APART CREATING AN OPEN CIRCUIT. THIS WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FUEL PRESSURE.  IN ADDITION, THE VAPOUR CONTROL VALVES, LOCATED ON THE FUEL TANK MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY RESULTING IN VAPOUR EMISSIONS IN EXCESS OF THE STANDARD.

CORRECTION: WIRING CONNECTOR SEAL AND FUEL TANK VAPOUR VENT VALVE ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED.
