2001-2003 Chevrolet Silverado Ignition Distributor System Corrosion Inspect/Replace

General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Recall involving certain 2001-03 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra model vehicles, equipped with a 4.3L V6 (RPO L35 - VIN W or RPO LU3 - VIN X) engine. The ignition distributor cap and rotor in these vehicles may corrode and cause ignition system failure. This condition may result in rough engine idle, misfire, stalls, engine cranks but does not run and/or illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

2004-2007 Mazda RX-8 Engine Cranks No Start Service Bulletin

Some vehicles (mazda rx-8) may experience difficulty starting (cranks no start). This may occur after driving the vehicle a
short distance without engine reaching normal operating temperature. Examples: starting a vehicle and moving
it to wash it, engine stall due to mis-application of clutch then restart. This commonly occurs at port facilities or
dealer lots where vehicles are frequently started cold, moved for short distances and then turned off. This concern may also occur due to low cranking RPM during engine starting.
