Attention:
Proceed with this EI ONLY if the customer has commented about this concern AND the PIE number is

Condition
Important: If the customer did not bring their vehicle in for this concern, DO NOT proceed with this EI.
Some customers may comment that the engine cranks but will not start.
During diagnosis a technician may find DTC P0011 and/or P00C6 stored current or in history.
A compression test may show lower than expected readings and exhaust flow from the tailpipe may be noticeably lower while cranking.
The fuel rail pressure sensor may show 300-400 PSI and will slowly drop down into the 50 PSI range while cranking.
Cause
GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause of the above condition. Engineering has a need to gather information on vehicles PRIOR to repair that
may exhibit this condition. As a result, this information will be used to "root cause" the customer's concern and develop/validate a field fix.
Instructions

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
