      Body stiffness of w body

      By Black92GS · Posted

      So i kind of take all of that back. 92-95 regals with the 3800 don’t seem to have them. I just found a bunch of pictures of 91s with the 3800 that have them!  If they are designed to help promote crumpling in a collision, the only thing I can think of is that there is more clearance somewhere in the engine bay with the 3800 series 1 that they aren’t required.

      I would expect that too, im gonna look over the scan again, but if I recall it had no such condition, it was just pulling timing, but I gotta look again at the scan and see if I missed something the first time and good call on the pickup thing, may drop the tank at some point if the problem is consistently when the tank gets to that level

      Wow, this is news to me!  Interesting and thank you for explaining.  I just assumed no matter what engine option, all 88-96/97 W's had them as standard.

      If it regularly occurs below a specific fuel level, I'd start suspecting an issue with the fuel pickup inside the tank.  Perhaps a cracked suction line that once you drop below a certain fuel level, it begins sucking air and isn't able to supply as much fuel as required? I’d expect something like that to show up on live data as reduced fuel pressure and a lean condition, but being intermittent, there might not be codes stored.

      Premium of course. 93. My brother 3 or so weeks back apparently didn’t see the sticker on the gas cap and put like $5 of 87 in there, but then the rest was filled with 93, and since then only 93
