Two problems related to other fuel system have been reported for the 1999 Oldsmobile 88. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2017

I contacted gm bc the technical service bulletin for the fuel pressure regulator says the fuel rail also needs replaced if it is a delphi fuel rail. The regulator on this car has been changed but still has the same delphi fuel rail. The car currently has a gas leak. When I search the VIN it doesn't show any recalls currently but based on the TSB. The rail should've been replaced with a bosch. I am a service tech at a private shop. If I weren't a tech I wouldn't have known the rail wasn't replaced and I may not have noticed the leak until I burnt to death in a firey crash. Gm has no answer except to take it to a dealership where they want to charge me a ridiculous diagnostics fee which I refuse to pay, especially for a recall repair that wasn't done properly the first time.

2 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2004

The vehicle upper intake manifold cracked prior to receiving the recall notice. Recall number (903v473000). One day prior to receiving the recall notice the consumers vehicle became disabled. The service manager determined the problem could have been a defective fuel pressure regulator. After the regulator was replaced the engine still would not start. The consumer had the vehicle fixed at her own expense.
