Engine - No Start Condition

SUBJECT: BLOWN FUEL PUMP FUSE

MODELS AFFECTED: 1983-84 CENTURYS & SKYLARKS EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L
L-4 ENGINES OR 3.0L V-6 ENGINE

A no start condition may be experienced due to a shorted fuel pump fuse.
This condition can be caused by a shorted insulation fuel pump feed wire.
The wire insulation may be cut by either the transmission side cover or
between the A.I.R. Pipe and the transmission cooler support bracket. When
checking a vehicle for this condition, the entire length of the wire should
be searched to assure the cause or causes of the blown fuse have been
identified and proper repairs are completed.
