1994 CHEVROLET S SERIES — Complaint #570334
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY filed January 25, 2006
NHTSA complaint #570334 (ODI reference 10148518) concerns a 1994 CHEVROLET S SERIES and was filed on January 25, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 1, 2006. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:delivery, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET S SERIES cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:delivery failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1994 CHEVROLET S SERIES shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I OWN A 1994 CHEVROLET S-10 WITH A 4.3L V-6 ENGINE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW.. IT CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW THIS TRUCK HAD AN IDLE LOPE AND MISS WHICH I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT. I HAVE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSORS, FUEL INJECTOR, FUEL REGULATOR, AND ALL ASSOCIATED HARDWARE THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS A UNIT ON THAT MODEL AND FUEL SYSTEM. THE EGR SYSTEM HAS BEEN SERVICED UNDER RECALL. UP TO THIS POINT THERE HAVE BEEN NO SERIOUS DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS. THE ONLY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM HAS BEEN THAT THE "CHECK GUAGES" INDICATOR WOULD BRIEFLY LIGHT UP UNDER SUDDEN DECELERATION. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT HAS NEVER LIT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NOR HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER A CPU FAULT CODE USING PUBLISHED PROCEDURES. THAT IS PART OF WHAT HAS BEEN SO MADDENING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM--VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS ARE NOT DETECTING A PROBLEM, SO I BASICALLY B
