1998 Oldsmobile 88 fuel system problems

While driving, there was an awfull smell inside of the vehicle. Vehicle started to overheat. Mechanic said plastic intake manifold had a hole in it, and was leaking anti-freeze from radiator. Plastic intake manifold had to be replaced. Consumer states that the whole in the plenum was caused by a faulty egr valve, per machanic and GM rep.(car was going to burst into flames)-please see reverse side.

The manifold on the consumers vehicle was replaced at his expense one year ago and now there is a recall on the fuel pressure regulator, which the consumer believed somehow affected the manifold. GM stated the defect did not affect his vehicle. After the engine was warmed and started, it would take a couple of tries and then the vehicle would surge when starting. The fuel pressure was leaking. The vehicle continued to lose coolant.
