OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE VALVE COVER GASKET FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE VALVE COVER AND OTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED ONCE IN MARCH AND ONCE IN JULY. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME. THE CURRENT PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *AK

STARTING IN EARLY 1996 THE VAN STARTED TO STALL WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. THIS DID NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I STOPPED, AND IT WAS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AS TO WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP IN FT. WALTON BEACH COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, BUT CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY TO TRY TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO HELP, BUT A FEW WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM COME AND GO WITH NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IN LANCASTER COULD NOT FIND A SOLUTION. YESTERDAY I FOUND A SECRET SERVICE BULLETIN # 18-16-96 WHICH ADDRESS THIS VERY PROBLEM. THE FAULT IS WITH THE HARDENED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *AK

FRONT MOTOR MOUNT- EXHAUST DOUGHNUT GASKET IS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD CLUNCKING NOISE AT ABOUT 10MPH, AND ANY ACCELERATION SOUNDS LIKE A TURBO CHARGE. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK
