Known issues on the 1994 Seville. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the auxiliary engine oil cooler hose: if it contacts the A/C compressor clutch assembly, the hose can wear through and leak oil onto the hot exhaust system, creating a risk of an engine compartment fire. The second covers the throttle cable, which can become disengaged from its retaining bracket and interfere with the throttle cam mechanism, causing the throttle to stick open and produce unwanted acceleration. Owners have filed 62 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing an oil cooler hose routing issue to inspecting the throttle cable and retaining bracket, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1994 Seville.
