Consumer Description

VEHICLES WITH DELCO ECM HAVE A COMMON ISSUE WHERE THE FUEL INJECTORS LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING ENGINE TO LOOSE COMPRESSION. THE LOWERED COMPRESSION CAUSES HARD START (IF ABLE TO START AT ALL) AND IF AND WHEN IT STARTS THE VEHICLE EMITS A CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE ENGINE IDLES HUNTS CONSTANTLY. ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING MAKING BRAKING AND STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE ENGINE AND NEEDS A REBUILD. MULTIPLE VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE FROM 2009 - 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA RANGING FROM 100 MILES - 179,000 MILES. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFERENT EFFECT WITH MILEAGE OR MAINTENANCE. *TR
