SERVICE INFORMATION
Some 1987 Celebrity, Cavalier, Corsica, and Beretta models equipped with the 2.8L PFI engine may set a false code 43. The false code will be set under a deep, part throttle crowd between 3400 and 4400 engine RPM. As a result of setting this code, the "service engine soon" light will come on and generally will stay on until the ignition key is turned off. A Code 43 will be stored.
To service customer complaints, perform service diagnosis for Code 43 as defined in the Service Manual, Section 6E3, to correct any of the following conditions: faulty knock sensor, "intermittents", faulty connections, or open or shorted wiring problems.
