This bulletin provides a procedure to address a hard starting condition which may occur on vehicles repeatedly driven for short distances. For example: This condition could arise while the vehicle is in inventory for an extended period of time, regularly started, moved around the lot then shut off before the engine comes up to full operating temperature. This type of repeated, short trip driving can cause carbon deposits to accumulate on the spark plugs and over time, the hard start condition to develop. This condition may take 60 or more similar ?cycles? as described above to manifest so, by description alone, it would be very rare for this to happen and quite challenging to duplicate.

REMINDER: THE PURPOSE OF THIS BULLETIN IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING A HIGH-PITCHED CHIRP, SQUEAK OR CRICKET SOUND YOU MAY HEAR COMING FROM THE ENGINES HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. NOT ALL PUMPS MAY EXHIBIT THIS SOUND. IT IS A RESULT OF THE POSITIONING OF THE PLUNGER STOPPER INSIDE THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP. SOME MAY HAVE A PLUNGER STOPPER POSITION THAT WHEN COMBINED WITH CERTAIN FUEL TEMPERATURES OR FUEL FORMULATIONS, MAY RESULT IN AERATION OF THE FUEL WITHIN THE BODY OF THE PUMP CAUSING THIS SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE IS IDLING. THIS RESULT IS NON-DETRIMENTAL TO THE FUEL SYSTEM OR ENGINE. NOT ALL PUMPS WILL EXHIBIT THIS CONDITION. A PRODUCTION CHANGE WAS MADE TO CONSISTENTLY ORIENT THE POSITION OF THE PLUNGER STOPPER DURING ASSEMBLY THUS ELIMINATING THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND. ONCE THE CHIRPING SOUND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, THE HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED TO REMEDY THE CONDITION.
