  • Cold-Weather PCV Deposits Can Cause Reduced Power (PI0746)2008-2011

    GM PI0746 covers 2008-2011 Buick Enclave vehicles with the 3.6L LY7 or LLT engine. After a cold start or low-ambient-temperature driving, condensation can freeze at the throttle-body base while engine vapors, fuel dilution and oil mist collect in the air-inlet duct. The condition can illuminate the MIL and cause poor performance or reduced acceleration.
