| A year and a half ago there as a loss of power and an engine miss. a fuel system cleaning in a shop cleared this up. then at the end of december the van would no start. we had it towed to our local meineke. it was determined the sequential central port injector had failed. this is a documented problem for a defective part. i wrote a letter to gm to ask for reimbursement. they refused because i did not go to a dealership. and meinke used an after market part. *tr | |||
