Question for you all i have an 88 Formula 2.8 auto and noticed that this car has not had the 88-C-24 recall done . this is the one with the PCV hose was moved , cover installed on manifold and decklid rubber piece is removed . What do you all think ? should i get it done or just leave it as is . I mean the car runs great and stays cool plus with the PCV hose going to the air cleaner the filter is cleaning the junk . I just want to hear from you all .

I'm sure your local Pontiac dealership would take care of this no problem.

I'm curious... which GM subsidiary (obviously wasn't Pontiac), and what did they say? Or was there just laughter?

I had my 86 GT in a car show last week and a kid asked, who made that car? I said, Pontiac. He asks, what is a Pontiac? Now I feel really old!

Even when Pontiac dealerships still existed, they claimed they had no records before 1990

It's like the jab except for your Fiero. It's all for looks and nothing good will come of getting it done. At best it will be as good as it was before but at worst something bad could go wrong.

There was more to the recall than just the rebresther hose and manifold shield.

The danger with the hose is that it can pull out of the valve cover with engine torque or weak mounts. Being out of sight you may not know if its blowing oil out on the manifold until you see smoke or fire.

Your response is rather disappointing to say the least.

The place for political zealots, religious fanatics, flat earthers and/or anti-vaxxers etc to spout their rhetoric is in the Totally O/T section of this forum, not in the tech area.

I was was hoping if I gave you a polite reminder, that you would take the hint. We don't need this type of subterfuge posted here.

Another of your off topic posts. I wasn't going to respond but since you post your gibberish in nearly every thread I thought it would be important to remind you to keep your posts on topic. If you can't do that then don't post. Also the ad hominim attacks just show you have no intelligent argument to make (surprise).

It's spelled ad hominem, and It's a good idea to know the definition before using it again.

Honestly you might be able to find the parts needed from a parts car somewhere online if you really care about doing it. Id say it might cost $50 for both. might save a couple bucks on replacing the airfilters sooner if you plan to keep it for a long time.

I dont know if its just my car but the pcv seems to get out a lot of oil, like i clean the inside of it and within 10 minutes its already coated in oil in there, id imagine it would plug up the air filter decently quick

Thank you for staying on topic! i decided i going to leave it alone and just change the air filter more often when it gets oil on it .

As the rest of everybody above. stay on topic i honestly don't want to read whining . making a quick joke is fine but if it hurts your feelings then please don't respond and scroll on .

Looks like I struck a nerve. Good.
