If I swap in a small block Chevy into a 1985 Buick Regal will I be able to pass smog in CA?

Or will I need all the smog equipment for the SBC?If I swap in a small block Chevy into a 1985 Buick Regal will I be able to pass smog in CA?what year is the small block chevy??



I believe I once heard/read that swaps are smog legal as long as the engine youare putting in is the same year or "NEWER"..you cannot put in an older engine..... I'm not sure but I suspect that "Smog testing equipment" is looking for certain parameters on an engine...and if they don't come close to the year engine you have in the car...you may have problems passing!!



"Will you need the smog equipment??...........Your 1985 Buick has smog equipment to pass the test......So Yes..You need"ALL THE SMOG EQUIPMENT FOR A 1985 buick......

What should I do after flooding the engine in my 2000 Buick Regal?

It's -41C. The car is parked on a residential street and not plugged in. I attempted to start the 3800 V6 approx. 10 times, turning the key back to the "off" position after each try, something I learned only afterwards should not be done, since more fuel gets shot into the engine every time the ignition switches from "off" to "run".

Approx. 10 hrs. later I tried again while holding the accelerator pedal down- this time it almost went, and it backfired from the excess fuel.

Someone told me that once an engine is flooded, there is nothing you can do except have all the sparkplugs removed which allows the excess fuel to escape through these holes. Is this my ONLY option here? Five days have passed since I last tried to start it. Should I try starting it again where it is, have it towed to where I can plug it in first, or have it towed to a service outlet because the plugs have to be removed, which might prove to be costly in labour. Or would it? Are these my only options here?What should I do after flooding the engine in my 2000 Buick Regal?Nearly ALL manufacturers use a computer-controlled strategy for injecting fuel.

If you turn the key off then on, it does NOT add fuel. Fuel is delivered only by engine rotation. The only thing that energizes when the key is turned on and off is the computer and the fuel pump relay. Period.

If the engine is truly flooded, the strategy for "clear flood condition" written into the computer is to open the throttle all the way (%26gt; 90%) then crank the engine. The computer sees the wide-open throttle position and understands that the engine is not running, and the command then is to turn off the injectors until it sees the throttle return to %26lt; 70% position. This allows the engine to rotate and expell the fuel without adding to the condition.

The chances are that what has happened is that the battery is too cold to crank the engine at great enough speed to successfully ignite the fuel charge.

You may want to get the car to a location where you can plug in the heater.



Happy MotoringWhat should I do after flooding the engine in my 2000 Buick Regal?If it's flooded then it should be fine after a length of time sitting. Try it again, if it doesn't start flooding is not your problem. Holding the pedal to the floor and cranking usually will over come flooding and it will start and clear up.What should I do after flooding the engine in my 2000 Buick Regal?Oh the woe of slow cranking fuel injected engines.

Even when the engine is cranking ever so slow you can bet your house that them injectors are just a squirting away.

Once that carbon track is established on a spark plug it is permanent.

Give it a small sniff of either next time on a fully charged battery.

Even either will fire off of a carbon track or slightly fouled plug, and hopefully dry them out for the time being.

If you live in a region of -41 I would consider a bad AZ Optima spiral cell battery, or have an either injector installed on the engine.

  • Could a Throttle position sensor go bad twice in a 93 Buick Lesabre?

    My car would idle really high as if the petal was down to the floor, so i took it to be repaired and the throttle position sensor was replaced. It work very well and I drove it weeks later. One day I left my car in the yard for a month, and the battery was dead, but when I got a jump it the idling very high all over again, so could the sensor have gone bad again. Any ideas THANKS.Could a Throttle position sensor go bad twice in a 93 Buick Lesabre?Did you forget to ask for the old part?Could a Throttle position sensor go bad twice in a 93 Buick Lesabre?I doubt it.

    Why does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?

    The service engine soon light has gone on and off a few times in the past month. I have noticed that typically it will go on on warmer days when I am driving around a city (low speeds) or idling for extended periods of time in warmer weather. Then it will usually go off about an hour later. Ideas? Thanks!Why does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?You have a fault in one or more of the systems the computer is monitoring which causes a feedback outside the parameters it expects to see, triggering the check engine light. Even when the light goes off, the chances are the fault has been stored in memory. What error codes does the scan give you? Post them in your question, and I can give you more information as to the system and possible fix.Why does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?
    I wish I knew. My 95 Chevy truck does the same thing. I have tried scanning it for computer errors, but OBD-I is not as friendly as ODB-II in newer carsWhy does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?It could be a Faluty sensor. Take it to someone like autozone and have them run a check on the light, its free.Why does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?
    Maybe it needs servicing, usually that's what the light means, have it checked out by a mechanicWhy does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?Probably, a difference between the oxygen sensor, before the catalytic converter, and the one after. an intermittant connection on one or the other, would be my guess.Why does the Service Engine Soon light on my late-90s Buick Century keep going on and off?
    When it flashes count the flashes and you will have the coda , However for everything you need to have it scanned with a star tester

    How do I install new windshield wipers on my '99 Buick Park Avenue?

    I've gone through the instruction manual, and for some reason...the wiper wont come off of the hook and the booklet said I had to find a tab to release it. I have no clue what to do.How do I install new windshield wipers on my '99 Buick Park Avenue?The tab is under the center of the wiper where it meets the arm. You push the tab in toward the wiper arm and pull the wiper blade firmly toward the windshield. If it is that much hassle most parts places will help you install them for free regardless of where you purchased the blades. Good luck.

    I have a 2002 Buick Rendezvous,check engine came on mechanic says its the temperature control sensor-?

    What is that and is it expensive ?I have a 2002 Buick Rendezvous,check engine came on mechanic says its the temperature control sensor-?You know you really should have asked the mechanic. I've never really heard of a temperature control sensor except for those luxury cars with automatic climate control. They sense the temp in the cabin and maintain it at a preset temp. You can't mean that can you? I don't think that would light up the check engine. If he meant "temperature sensor" then there are two, one for the computer and one for the gauge. The one for the computer will adversely affect your vehicle's running but is cheap and easy to replace. The other doesn't matter.I have a 2002 Buick Rendezvous,check engine came on mechanic says its the temperature control sensor-?Engine coolant temp sensor or air inlet temp - neither of these should be relatively expensive and most are readily accessible and easily replaced.

    I have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?

    every time it gets warmed up , it stalls at every light or every corner if i slow down enough....although it starts usually right away again.any ideas?I have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?I think the main problem here is the idle is to low,I would suggest getting a manual such as Haynes or Mitchell,this will guide you through the steps for adjusting the idle speed.It would be helpful to know if it is fuel injected or feed back carburated,or throttle body.If it's throttle body or fuel injected you would be advised to take to a shop to have the on board computer scanned for failure codes,and get those repaired first.One possibility would be engine coolant temp sensor,but get it scanned first that way your not guessing.I have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?
    check fuel pressureI have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?Clogged Catalytic converter, bad Torque Converter Clutch solenoid, EGR valve stuck, TPS switch, intake air temp sensor, coolant sensor, MAP/ MAS, alternator.... best to take it to a shop and have it scanned for codes.I have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?
    well you probably need a tune up.if i was you id take it to someone to look at it for you . now if your serviece light is on go to auto zone and they can tell you whats wrong with it and they wont charge you anything. oh by the why dont not take off you thermostat of .because if you do youll willlllll blow the engine up you doooooooooooo need it. but if i was you id still go to aute zone an ask them what mit be wrong .because your a women they help you for free,.........good luck.............lonewolfI have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?I'm pretty good at this believe it or not! Check all your hoses. Get them off the engine. use something that will pull them off the engine. Also get some carb cleaner! you can leave the air filter off, not for long! Also it could be your thermostat. Take it off you really don't need it. because it's an older car.I have a 1986 Buick Century and it stalls when warmed up?
    these are good answers but change/check your fuel filter, it can cause fuel pressure problems, by the tiem you reach to restart the engine the pump will have caught up. also check your plug wires, make sure they arnt corroded, and if you havent changed them in a while it migh tbe agood idea. also check the carb over.

    Will a stock 3800 series II supercharger off of a Buick or montecarlo fit on my 3800 camaro?

    I have a 3.8l 3800 v6 camaro and i was wondering if a 3.8l 3800 supercharger off of a side monted (front wheeldrive) car would bolt right on and if any one knows the awnser about how much hp would it addWill a stock 3800 series II supercharger off of a Buick or montecarlo fit on my 3800 camaro?according to my research Ive been doing per customer requests of the same issue. They will, but you have 2 things. first the heads I believe will be needed from the doner supercharged engine. Also keep in mind that the compression ratio and piston to valve clearance should be checked if you do the head swap. You will also need to change the ECU and maybe the harness to make it work. Or send your current ECU to Ed Wright and have reflashed or another place for that change. Im not sure on the HP/TQ but im sure it will be more than worth the swap effort. My reasoning is you can change pulleys, air %26amp; fuel ratio and timing ect. With the proper tune and that those engines make the Grand Prix GTX run some impressive times for just a FWD 4 Door Car. Also the intake on the back of the supercharger may be close to the cowl on the camaro. It will be trial and error and you wont know alot for sure until you get into the project further. from what I can tell in my research the 3.8 block is the same from 96-up so the top end should swap for sure. But just the supercharger Im not sure. All this effort it maybe worth while just to convert it into a LT1 or LS1 car!!. Something to think about! Good LuckWill a stock 3800 series II supercharger off of a Buick or montecarlo fit on my 3800 camaro?
    I'd get the ECM off of the car as well and it would work for reading the air/fuel mixture and timing.

    Turbo's are easier to hook up and the torque is better.Will a stock 3800 series II supercharger off of a Buick or montecarlo fit on my 3800 camaro?yes it will but the computer might reject it it is better to buy 1 for the car like on ebay or from a dealerWill a stock 3800 series II supercharger off of a Buick or montecarlo fit on my 3800 camaro?

    I have a 1998 Buick Century that is constantly overheating.?

    I have changed the water pump, thermostat, and the fans are working. I make sure there is coolant in the car and my radiator has water. I'm not sure what is making it run so hot. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.I have a 1998 Buick Century that is constantly overheating.?Try the cheapest, and most overlooked first, the radiator cap, theey do wear our where they wil not hold the proper pressure.

    If after installing a new cap it still overheats, have the vacuum checked, a low steady reading would indicate a leaking intake manifold, another possible cause of overheating as the vehicle is running too lean.

    Another, but not likely item to check is the temperature sending unit, it just might be giving the wrong reading.I have a 1998 Buick Century that is constantly overheating.?
    check your head gaskets. they could be blown. also make sure the intake manifold gaskets arent leaking. you can do this by checking your radiator cap and oil cap for intermix, (oil and rad coolant maixing together) this will look like brown sludge on your caps and filler necks.I have a 1998 Buick Century that is constantly overheating.?Also check your thermostat and make sure it is not frozen shut. To test take off feed in neck and hose and remove the thermostat and boil water and drop it in if it opens its good if it dosent open it is bad. Either way rplace it and that should help you out. Good luckI have a 1998 Buick Century that is constantly overheating.?
    Several good suggestions have been made here, but have you checked the sending unit?



    The sending unit the computer sees isn't the same one that runs your temp gauge.

    My wife had a chrysler LHS that would overheat if you didn't do this.I have a 1998 Buick Century that is constantly overheating.?
    Two things i would check first. 1. when you changed the water pump did you "burp" the system so it would not get an air lock - when the engine is cold - take off the radiator cap - turn you heater on - and as it warms up there should be air bubbles - keep filling with anti freeze until full. 2. did you change your radiator cap - it may be weak or frozen - good luck
    Your radiator could be plugged and not circulating the water

There is more then 1 type like the orange stuff that GM calls for in there new cars, but it all does 2 things. #1 keeps the water from freezing and keep it from boiling.

    A 50% mix of water and antifreeze will work in your car.

    Best to buy a gal of 100% antifreeze and mix it yourself, then buying 50/50 mix. Why here is why.

    Lets say 1 gal of 50/50 cost $8.00 well that means you are spending $4.00 for a 1/2 ga of water.

    So buy 100% antifreeze and mix it yourself.

    Empty the radiator and pour in 1 gal of antifreeze and then fill it will water. THis will be 50/50.

    Can You replace the crank sensor on a 1987 Buick Park Ave without taking off the harmonic balance?

    If so, How?Can You replace the crank sensor on a 1987 Buick Park Ave without taking off the harmonic balance?no you must remove the balancer to get the sensor out but do you realise that the balancer could also be faulty this engine is a V6 if i am correct and many times the balancer goes out and makes the sensor fail with false readingsCan You replace the crank sensor on a 1987 Buick Park Ave without taking off the harmonic balance?yes you just have to turn the harmonic ballancer with a ratchet and socket slowly until you get the fins in a spot that you can maneuver the crank sensor out



    a easy way to no for sure the crank sensor is bad is most of the time a car with a bad crank sensor will start and run great as long as you do not shut the car off but when you shut the car off it will not start until it cools down if you poor cold water on the crank sensor to cool it off than the car will startCan You replace the crank sensor on a 1987 Buick Park Ave without taking off the harmonic balance?nope you can,t! it has to be removed or the sensor won,t come off. you have fins on the balancer that straddles the sensor and it has to be removed befor you can change it.Can You replace the crank sensor on a 1987 Buick Park Ave without taking off the harmonic balance?
    nope cant do it you probably could loosen it but you cant remove the bolts holding it on without taking off the balancer

    Does anyone know the towing capacity of a 94 Buick Regal?

    Not made for towing

    What are some good customization ideas for a 96 buick regal?

    FIRST I WOULD PUT A BIG AIR SPOILER ON THE BACK.

    THEN I WOULD PAINT SOME COOL FLAMES ON THE HOOD. THEN I WOULD SOOP UP THE ENGINE WITH A HOLLY CARB AND SOME CHERRY BOMB MUFFLERS.

    How do you remove the dash on a 1991 buick lesabre?

    i want to remove the factory stereo in order to install a cd player.How do you remove the dash on a 1991 buick lesabre?A picture of your dash would be very helpful for me. That was a design switch year 91-92.



    I'm pretty sure you just pop of the plastic bezel going around the radio/heater controls/steering wheel. Taking off the underdash from underneath with 7mm sockets where the bezel is would probably make your job easier.

    Also when removing the piece from around the steering wheel be careful because those like to break.

    Then take I think there are 4-8mm bolts holding the radio in and that should be it for the removal.

    How do I open the hood of a 92 Buick LeSabre with a broken hood release cable?

    The hood release has been wearing out. Now it has finally given up, and will not release. I have looked in and under the grill, but I can't see a cable anywhere.

    And to top it off, my battery is dead, so I can't take it to a shop.

    Thanks!How do I open the hood of a 92 Buick LeSabre with a broken hood release cable?the cable runs along the radiator support frame so it is hard to get hold of the cable from front of car, if your cable needs replacing check under car by firewall to see if you pull on it from the firewall and pull on the cable with pliers, you may have to cut cable housingHow do I open the hood of a 92 Buick LeSabre with a broken hood release cable?
    it depends on where the cable has broken, if it is inside the car that it broke then you can separate the coating and then grab it with some pliers and open it, but if it is under the hood then your in trouble, you may have to have it taken to a shop to have it repaired.How do I open the hood of a 92 Buick LeSabre with a broken hood release cable?doesn't that hood open from the rear?(windshield).How do I open the hood of a 92 Buick LeSabre with a broken hood release cable?

    sounds like the front grill might have to come off. then look up in there and find the arm, ware that cable is attached to. Now all you have do is trip that arm till the hood pops up some, reach under there, trip the secondary latch and raise the hood. there is a concern that some of the bolts that hold the grill on, may not be gotten at because the hood won't open. In that case your gonns havr to do the best you can

    Where is the oil filter located on a 1995 Buick Roadmaster sedan?

    I looked under the hood and underneath my car (of course I couldn't slide all the way underneath it because it sits so low) but I didn't see where the oil filter is located. I wound up taking it to Walmart instead of doing it myself, but I'd like to know for future reference. How hard is the oil filter to reach without using ramps?Where is the oil filter located on a 1995 Buick Roadmaster sedan?I am guessing it has the famous 5.7L V8 (Chevy 350 for old school). Unless you can drive up a curb on the passenger side and use the parking brake of course(drain plug is on driver side and you wanted pointed down for more oil to drain), or properly jack it up and put on two 4-leg jack stands, very hard to reach the filter without stands or ramps.

    The location of the filter is on driver side back of engine.Where is the oil filter located on a 1995 Buick Roadmaster sedan?right infront of the transmission oil pan

    How do I recharge the AC on a 92 buick park ave?

    Is it fairly simple to do?How do I recharge the AC on a 92 buick park ave?depends on your abilities really.... but for most no. Being that the car is a 92, you will have to take it to a shop that can handle the R-12 freon that the system uses. So in a way it is easy, you just have to take it to a shop. However the R-12 is quite expensive now, well, depending on where you live, but the last time i checked it was averageing about $102 a pound. A full service is about $700, that covers the reclaiming of any remaining freon (r-12), checking for leaks, and filling the freon. Most shops don't or rather won't deal with r-12 systems anymore they prefer to convert them over to a r-134a system. the cost is about the same to do so, but your A/C will never be the same. R-134a doesn't get as cold as the old r-12 did, but on the bright side future refills will only cost a few bucks rather than a few hundred.



    Now you can convert the system yourself and save a few bucks, but it isn't that easy. Actually it isn't that bad just tedious, but if you aren't familiar with working on vehicles i would suggest that you take it to a shop, or have an experianced friend help you out, it should only take a day to do.How do I recharge the AC on a 92 buick park ave?has your system been converted from r12 to r134a

    Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?

    Open the bleeder valve just enough to allow fluid to escape, use a C-clamp to push the piston back into the caliper housing. Once the piston is positioned, close bleeder valve, install pads and reinstall caliper. Top off master cylinder with clean brake fluid.



    Be careful where you point caliper while pushing piston into caliper, brake fluid will be exiting bleeder valve.Need help with removal of brake pads on a buick regal custom?

    http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/090鈥?/a>
    It sounds so familiar, THE REAR DISC HAS A TOOL TO 'SCREW' THE PISTON BACK INTO THE CALIPER. Due to the rear brake using a park-brake system on it, the caliper needs to maintain close contact between the rotor and disc. This was done by using a 'RATCHETING ACTION' which keep the piston from moving the pads away from the disc too far at brake release.

    THE PISTON SCREWS COUNTER CLOCK WISE TO RECESS INTO THE CALIPER. good-luck!!!

    Anybody know if buick ever put a cd mp3 player in any of their cars? and would the deck interchange with my 98

    I have a 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra, and I am quite impressed with the factory sound system (concert sound III), but I am desperately missing my cd mp3 player.

    How much will it cost to register and get a plate for my 92' buick le sabre? I live in Edmonton, AB.

    Contrary to the answers given before mine, The Cost of the vehicle does NOT play a role in getting the vehicle registered. And within Canada, Individuals are NOT taxed on inheritance or non-monetary gifts so there would be no sales tax.



    Now for the actual answer:



    There are a few things that you'll be required to do in order to get the vehicle registered in the province of Alberta.



    First, Any active vehicle intended to be used requires at the very minimum, Third-Party Liability Insurance,. You'll need to obtain this before you can register your vehicle.



    Secondly, because of the age both Alberta Registries and your insurance company are going to want a Safety inspection done. If the vehicle was previously registered in a different Province, country or state then an Out of Province inspection is required as well.



    Once you've done this you can go and get your vehicle registered at a licensed Alberta Registry Agent (check Yellow pages for listings)



    Registration is done annually, at a cost of about $70. Renewals are based on the First letter of your last name. Therefore if your name starts with an "S" (Say your name was Sanderson) then you technically could purchase a registration for $12 which would cover you until the last day of October 2008.



    Plates are provided during the initial registration and are not charged any costs.How much will it cost to register and get a plate for my 92' buick le sabre? I live in Edmonton, AB.You bought the car. Have you paid the sales tax? Yeah, for cars there is. That will be included in your registration fee. And you won't know till you go to the insurance company or DMV. I am not certain how different Alta systems differs.How much will it cost to register and get a plate for my 92' buick le sabre? I live in Edmonton, AB.When you take in the information, they will give you an exact amount. If you call them first, they can probably give you an estimate.

    We have a Buick. What does it mean when the ABS light comes on?

    What does it mean when the ABS light comes on in our car?We have a Buick. What does it mean when the ABS light comes on?ANTILOCK Braking System malfunction, your brakes default to normal mode you do not have the antilock feature. Get it checked out.We have a Buick. What does it mean when the ABS light comes on?
    ABS stands fro Automatic Braking System. It means something is wrong with the brakes. Get it to a mechanic ASAP. If your brakes go out you and everyone on the road are at risk !!We have a Buick. What does it mean when the ABS light comes on?ABS Automatic Braking System.

    This is an electronic breaking system, that pulses your brakes hydraulically, so that you can maintain control of your car, even if you slam on the breaks. Prevents a straight skid, by pulsing the breaks, allowing steering avoiding a skid.

    It also reduces your stopping distance, by avoiding skids.

    You can slow down faster, if your wheel does not lock into a skid.

    If the electronic ABS module stops working, your brakes will still work. ( check your brake fluid levels though).



    The light comes on, because a diagnostic test failed when the car was first started. There is an electronic module that controls the break pulsing. It monitors break fluid pressure, and response from wheel rotation sensors, and reports results to your vehicle computer. The computer monitors the electronic control module, detected a fault, and lit the light on your dash board.



    This could be that the electronic module has failed, or detected an unusual signal from one of the pressure or rotation sensors.



    You can still drive your car without the ABS system working.

    But if you panic break, you will skid in a straight line, and not have steering control, as you would if your brakes were pulsed.



    The sensor signal may correct itself, and go away. Could be caused by moisture in the hydraulic lines, or due to dis-use.



    Check the break fluid reservoir, and make sure it is at the proper level. Drive the car on a few short trips, shutting the car off after each trip. Be sure to pump the brakes a bit. The light will probably go out.



    If not, you need to get it checked. The car will fail inspection, as this is a piece of required safety equipment.We have a Buick. What does it mean when the ABS light comes on?
    It means there is a problem with the abs and they will likely not work the way they should

    Don't worry you wont lose your braking just the abs won't functionWe have a Buick. What does it mean when the ABS light comes on?The computer that controls ABS turns that light on. Probably, it means one of the wheels sensors is not responding properly, and ABS has been shut down.



    It's not really a big deal for driving, but you probably don't have ABS while it's on.

    Is it possible to switch the fuel injection over to carburetor in a 94 Buick Regal?

    Why would you want to do that? Question is which engine it has and if they ever made that particular engine with a carburated intake. It would be a great hassle to do this kind of job considering the engine cpu controls all of the different aspects of the engine.

    What could be wrong with a 95 Buick Cent. When you turn the key and nothing happens?

    There is no click as if the starter is bad, no power to the starter it seems. The car has fuseable links. The starter was tested good. So thats not it. It has no fuses, just the link.

    It could be:



    1] Battery is completely dead.

    or 2] A bad ignition switch.

    or 3] A bad neutral start switch.

    Can soemone give your car battery a jump? If it starts then, you only have a dead battery.
    Uhhhhhhhhhhh................?
    Solenoid. Usually if the battery is low, it will make clicking noises or something.
    Dead battery

    Bad Solenoid
    Change the battery?
    does you ignition key have a chip in it? if so it is probably the ignition cylinder wire is broken and not being able to send they chip code to ecm which will prevent car from starting
    If the instrument panel is lighting up and you do not hear the 'click' of the solenoid when you turn the key all the way to the 'start' position then you have a problem with you ignition lock cylinder. The person earlier is right in that the wires in the VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) ignition are toast. Another thing is if the little theft light on the instrument panel stays on when the key is turned. If this is the case you will need to have the ignition lock replaced, do not dispose of the old key until the new key is made for the new ignition lock. You can take it (tow) to a dealer, you can call a mechanic that has connections with a locksmith or some locksmiths will do the entire job. Depends on the area you live.

    Whatever you do give the old key to them so that they can match the resistor value on the new key. It has to be the same as the old one the difference is now the key is 'cut' differently (to match the new ign lock) and your car will start (provided you don't have a problem with the ignition switch located at the base of your steering column.....

You didn't mention what type of noise, a thumping, ticking, scraping type or what, and how long the noise lasts, so its hard to tell.

  • Is a Buick truly a poor mans Cadillac?

    Haha ok well I love both Buick and Cadillac their such nice cars. I saw a question on here that was similar to this one and someone answered "Ask Tiger Woods" which I found to be hilarious. I know the difference between the two. A Buick is a Cadillac that cost less and doesn't quite have all the bells and whistles. Do you guys have any better answers?Is a Buick truly a poor mans Cadillac?Cadillac tends to use more expensive materials and components in the vehicles, they also tend to use the latest technology whereas the Buick may use the technology that is on the leading edge of mainstream, or stuff that was on the Cadillacs from a few years ago. The Cadillac's often have their own set of engines/drivetrains as well, typically more powerful and high featured, whereas the Buicks tend to use drivetrains that are from the GM parts bin, for instance most Buick cars from the early 2000's used the traditional GM 3800 engine, but you wouldn't typically find that motor used in a Cadillac. You would find engines like the Northstar 32 valve V8 engines in the Caddy.Is a Buick truly a poor mans Cadillac?I guess it is.



    So I guess a Toyota is a poor mans Lexus, Ford a poor mans Lincoln, Smart a poor mans Mercedes? But is that a bad thing? It's just different cars for different people with different price ranges. If people want to buy a car that's nice and comfortable but can't afford to pay thousands more for a Caddy, they can go to Buick.Is a Buick truly a poor mans Cadillac?What about Pontiac?????

    Did the buick skylark convertible come in a hardtop convertible?

    I prefer the early 1960's (60-65) convertible, but if they didn't come in a hardtop convertible than could you tell what years did?Did the buick skylark convertible come in a hardtop convertible?GM never made a hard top convertible on any model. Ford did on the little T-birds (55-57). All the early Skylarks could be ordered in a convertible. My friend had a hard top '64 with a little aluminum block V8! But that was 1972. Nobody saved them. Engine gave up they were junked. Good luck on finding one!Did the buick skylark convertible come in a hardtop convertible?Contrary to the former answer, Ford never produced a Thunderbird with a convertible hardtop. That feature was restricted to the 1957 through 1959 Ford Skyliner. No other North American company produced such a car. Certainly, Buick never considered building a convertible hardtop. The term convertible hardtop was used, in the 50s, to denote a car with a hard top and no 'B' pillar, giving it a clear space between the windshield and the rear roof 'C' pillar. It had nothing to do with a roof that retracted. Ford referred to theirs as a 'retractable' roof.

    Huh
    Only plugs

    Cars these days only need plugs replaced to do a tune up.

    All the things that used to be adjustable, like engine timing, is managed by the car's computer and sensors.

    At a regular service facility expect to pay about $5 a plug and about an hour's worth of labor depending on the car/engine.

    So...

    6 plugs=$30

    One hour labor $80

    What do you think about the Buick Century, regal, and Lesabre?

    I am in the process of buying a used car. I recently test drove a 2001 Buick Century, and really liked it. All of my friends were kind of chuckling, and I know that a lot of people kind of think of the buicks as an old man car, but I really like them! they're big, smooth, solid, comfortable, and the engine actually performs pretty well. They go down enough in price, that I'm actually thinking of buying one, what do you guys think of the buick sedans?What do you think about the Buick Century, regal, and Lesabre?nice cars!!!i say go for itWhat do you think about the Buick Century, regal, and Lesabre?big grandpa car that sucks gas....if you like the ride, more power to you.What do you think about the Buick Century, regal, and Lesabre?The Buick Century used to be a "corporate twin" to the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra. I owned 2 Cierras and drove both of them for 200,000 miles. They were good handling and if you have the 3.2 engine and a 6-cylider, the pickup is great.



    Even though I had 2 kids, I found this size car more than adequate for our needs. The trunk was huge enough for all sports equipment and it had enough extra seating to carpool with people.



    I thought it was much more cost effective and frugal than any minivan.What do you think about the Buick Century, regal, and Lesabre?
    Its your money, you spend where you feel comfortable with, what do I think about buying a Buick, what's wrong with driving a Buick, Ford or Chevy? you don't need a second opinion about what kind of car you should be driving, go with your own opinion if you like a Buick then gets one! its all about you and what make you feel good, who care about what other people think!

    I have a problem with my Buick Century 2007, any mechanics out there?

    When I turn the engine off, it takes at least an hour to turn back on. Sometimes it doesn't though. It seems to have a mind of it's own. It only has 40,000 miles on it. Also, I know when it is not going to start up right away when I turn the engine off, the doors will not automatically unlock. It also makes a strange clicking sound when I run the car. People tell me it might be the computer in the car. Does anyone know what this might be and how much it might cost. I don't think it is the starter, because the problem has been a couple of months.I have a problem with my Buick Century 2007, any mechanics out there?The question as posed does not give enough information, does the engine crank but not start? then it maybe the anti theft system, if it cranks but does not start may be an ignition or fuel problem.

    1993 buick century trying to remove broken wheel stud?

    I have been trying to remove a broken wheel stud in the rear where I have drum brakes. They are pressed in and says not to hit with a hammer. I tried 2 use a c clamp but doesnt work all that well where can i get the tool to remove these studs1993 buick century trying to remove broken wheel stud?The way i remove them is with a hammer.(wear goggles)



    To press the new one on is to buy an extra lug nut and

    put some washers between stud and lug nut.



    Tighten lug nut and the stud will pull into hub.

    Add grease between washer makes it a little easier.



    You can hold the hub from turning by putting

    a big pry bar between the other lugs(with nuts installed)1993 buick century trying to remove broken wheel stud?

    Thats what we always use......a hammer.



    Just don't miss...and hit the hub.



    A little squirt of WD40 helps too.....let it soak for 10 minutes.



    And then, solid whack the hell directly out of it......it will come out the back.1993 buick century trying to remove broken wheel stud?Who said not to use hammer? What you need is a good metal punch, A pair of locking plies to hold punch, a 2 to five pound hammer. Grip the punch firmly with locking pliers, place punch in the middle of broken stud and hit it as hard as you can without missing and damaging something else. After a couple of good lick it will move. The only reason you wouldn't want to use a hammer is if you were to strike the stud itself. Because if did so you would flare the end of stud and make it impossible to get threw the smaller hole. This is the way I've always done it an have been working around mechanical stuff all my life. Age 481993 buick century trying to remove broken wheel stud?
    i hit several of them with a hammer and a punch. it won,t hurt nothing.

  • How many mpg would a 1967 1968 Buick riviera get?

    Wondering how much would a 67 68 Buick riviera get right now the one I'm looking a is a 67 with the 430 engine this is my dream car but I'm a uni student and it's a great price .... Also how much would a 390 402 302 engine get as I'm also seeing some rivieras with that and also 1967 ford galaxie it's either a riv or galaxie



    Thanks guysHow many mpg would a 1967 1968 Buick riviera get?That was before the EPA began reporting fuel economy numbers so there is no official figure. However, I rented a 1970 Chevy Nova that got 10 mpg in town so I would expect about 8 mpg city, 12-14 or so highway. In the 1960s that was acceptable; at 30 cents per gallon you could go a long way on $10. At $3 per gallon that means a hundred miles in town will cost somewhere around $35. The cost doesn't change that much with the specific engine.



    Edit - I forgot to mention that short trips were *really* hard on fuel economy for cars that didn't have pre-heat. If you use it to get around campus don't expect better than 5 mpg for that service... I'm not kidding.How many mpg would a 1967 1968 Buick riviera get?Who cares! Its over 40 years old, has no overdrive, and a huge V8. You don't buy something like that for fuel economy. You want good gas mileage, get a plastic, wrong wheel drive, 4 banger. You want a solid, powerful, piece of Americana? Well, there's the Rivey!How many mpg would a 1967 1968 Buick riviera get?12

DOes anybody have a tutorial or know how to charging it?How hard is it/how would i go about recharging my Buick Electra 225's A/C? it s 69 with a 430 in it?It is not hard at all if you are sure that it only needs charging and that your not having compressor failure. if you are sure it just needs to be charged then you have to find out if it uses 134-a or r-11 freon if it uses r-11 you will have to buy a retrofit kit. they sell them at any auto parts store for about20 dollars very simple to convert, takes 5 minutes too.the kit will come with a smaller suction port and that clips on the old one, like i said 5 min. thhen you get the 134-a and fill up. the canister will have a guage on it, it also you buy at any auto parts store for 20 dollars also. now you have to ask yourself why there isnt any freon in it in the firs place, and how long it was ran without freon, because those are big factors in it.if you need anymore info email me at anglermadcat@yahoo.com, i will try to find a tetorial for you online. i hope this helped out some.How hard is it/how would i go about recharging my Buick Electra 225's A/C? it s 69 with a 430 in it?All you should need is a conversion kit to change the adaptors over to accept the new coolant. Most parts store sell a kit that has all you need as well as coolant for around $30.00How hard is it/how would i go about recharging my Buick Electra 225's A/C? it s 69 with a 430 in it?It will need converted to R134a before it can be recharged, unless you want to lay out about $950.00 for a 30 pound jug of R12.

    What will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?

    The starter works but when u turn the ket to try to crank it it makes a loud tick and won't turn overWhat will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?sounds like you have a bad battery...if battery is bad it will make that noise..charge or jump start you car..if it starts that way then id for sure take battery down n check the charge..most auto part stores do this for free. also check your battery cables n make sure they tight and in good condition..What will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?
    Battery. clean posts, or replace cables, or maybe the battery itself. good luck!What will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?the solenoid on the starter could be bad. turning over and cranking is the same thing.What will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?
    dead battery, remember 11.9 volts isnt enough to start the car, you need 12vWhat will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?well if ur battery is good then it is a starter issue, don't replace cause 95% it can b cheaply fixed, if ur battery is good U can start it by keep on trying to start it, after clicking several times it will crank.What will cause a 96 Buick lesabre to not turn over when starter works?
    The loud tick is the relay. You think the starter works? Why, because you hooked up same wires and it spun? That does not mean it works. The solenoid on top of the starter is what engages the gears and spins the starter. And since most are integrated, you have to buy an entire starter. Also, ALL the wires going to the starter have to be attached properly. If the ignition cannot power up the solenoid and make the starter turn, you get nothing.

    Can I put R134a or some other refrigerant besides R12 in my 1986 Buick Century?

    Can I put R134a in my 1986 Buick Century without having to change any of my current A/C system? Or can I use something else besides R12, that I can buy without a A/C license? ThanksCan I put R134a or some other refrigerant besides R12 in my 1986 Buick Century?R134 is not a direct substitute for a R12 system. You do have to convert the a/c system over first.

    Whether you can use any other refrigerant on your Buick or not without changing any seals, oil or switches, I don't know...Can I put R134a or some other refrigerant besides R12 in my 1986 Buick Century?Yes you can!!! You can go to www.autorefrigerants.com and purchase a refrigerant called ES12a. It is fully compatible with both r-12 and r134a refrigerants/oil and can be put on top of those refrigerants, no seals, no oil changes. All you need is the R134a service port adapters. No license needed...

    Is her car fuel injected? If so, the fuel sensor can be bad. Try putting cold water on the sensor when it won't start..if it starts, it's the fuel sensor. If not, back to the drawing board. :)My mother drives a 1993 Buick Century that will not start when the engine is hot...?check the valve clearances could be tight when its hot and loosing compression

    Why is my moms 2003 buick century almost overheating when we have the ac on?

    yesterday we drove about 15 miles to baseball and we had the ac on and it almost overheated. what is the problem with it. i was thinking maybe the thermostat or low coolant or a water pump.Why is my moms 2003 buick century almost overheating when we have the ac on?the male is in the checking my best questWhy is my moms 2003 buick century almost overheating when we have the ac on?When you turn on the A/C it adds a bigger heat load on the car. Check to see that your cooling fans are working and make sure the radiator/condenser have unobstructed cooling from debris trapped. Could also be a bad radiator cap........Why is my moms 2003 buick century almost overheating when we have the ac on?you have a bad auxiliary fan

    1989 Buick Lesabre possible bad harmonic balancer?

    my 89 Buick lesabre is making a (loud) clanking noice and it seems to be coming from the harmonic balancer. the rubber on in the middle of it is showing wear too. however the faster i go in the car, the quieter it gets. just wondering if this sounds like the harmonic balancer or another problem?1989 Buick Lesabre possible bad harmonic balancer?that,s what it is. the rubber is broke on it and letting it clang. by it moving like that it could throw the timing off some and make you lose power. a friend had a 88 oldsmobile and we had to change it. it did the same thing as yours. remember the bolt turns the opposite way.1989 Buick Lesabre possible bad harmonic balancer?Ugh it's possible, if you see the rubber in the middle cracking or deteriorating, common sense would be to have it replaced.

  • How can I prime the air system on a 1987 Buick Lesabre Custom?

    I was told why my car wouldn't start after changing out the the fuel pump,fuel relay,fuel filter etc.My dad has went back and checked all the wiring from the parts that were replaced and they were installed correctly but the car still want start and it has a full tank of gas and when I try to start it the battery runs down.Can someone please tell me what is going on?How can I prime the air system on a 1987 Buick Lesabre Custom?It would appear that either the new pump is not working or you have additional problems. Disconnect the fuel line at some point and turn on the ignition just for a moment. Check to see if any fuel flows from the line. If not, the fuel pump is suspect. All of this is assuming that you have an electric fuel pump. If it is mechanical, pour a small amount of fuel in the intake through the carburetor or point of air induction. Try to start the engine. If it tries to start then keep trying several times. This will cause the pump to pick up the fuel from the tank and allow the engine to continue to run at some point. Priming is not required on an electric pump. If fuel flows then the next step is the ignition. I would suggest having someone check for spark who has done it before. Otherwise the high voltage could give you quite a jolt if you don't know how to do it. If the ignition is suspect, it could be the coil. It could also be the module in the distributor. You have the pickup coil in the distributor also which can fail. Of course the place to start on the distributor is with the cap and rotor. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck.How can I prime the air system on a 1987 Buick Lesabre Custom?If this wasn't a problem before, the first thing I would do is check the pressure at the rail after turning the key on/off a few times. I did the same thing on my GN when I upgraded the pump and it purges the air out quickly and it started right away. To eliminate the fuel pump as a possible problem, check the pressure at the rail with the key on. It's not the best way because it won't tell how much volume of fuel is at the rail, but it should atleast try and start with pressure there.How can I prime the air system on a 1987 Buick Lesabre Custom?You may need to prime the system. Is it fuel injected or does it have a carburetor. If it has a carburetor try pouring a little gas into the carb. If it is fuel injected you can try priming it. I do not know how to do that.How can I prime the air system on a 1987 Buick Lesabre Custom?
    Go back and follow the diagnostics I recommended on your last post. If there is air in the fuel system, and the pump is actually operating, simply cycle the ignition key from "off" to "run" every 3 seconds for 8-10 times.

    Good Luck
