Latest Buick Park Avenue Frequently Asked Questions:
it's a 96' buick park avenue non-supercharged 3.8L. last year i bought a used engine with about 36,000 miles on it and put it in. it started fine and ran good for about an hour or so, then when going to work the next day it stalled. i drove it for three months and it would stall intermittinly but then sometimes it wouldn't stall. then in jan/feb this year it started surging and would not stall and then it didn't start at all. i replaced a crankshaft sensor, fuel pump unit, repaired a loose connector for the ignition module, it has fuel pressure, has spark and compression, i cleaned the injectors, regaped the spark plugs. when i start the car it cranks but will not turn over. any help or thoughts or ideas that could help me out please tell me.
Answer:I never could fix a car over the phone [didn't pay well, anyhow] so i can't be alot of help. I did have a buick lasabre with the same engine that had a lot of trouble starting because of bad spark plugs believe it or not. If you have spark, compression and fuel the only thing left is timing and too much fuel. I'd probabably go for too much fuel. Are your plugs getting wet? Try starting it with the gas pedal all the way to the floor and see if you get a reaction.

I'm in need of the following for my 1999 Buick Park Avenue (not Ultra): - Front Passenger Outside door handle - driver seat panel that the power seat controls are mounted in (need it in maroon) - control module / relay for the driver seat heater. I haven't called junkyards yet, I was hoping to find these parts online. Thanks !
Answer:Hello...your two best sources are either the dealer or the junkyard. but my best advice is to research all options,online,locally(dealer or junkyard)also parts stores like advance auto or autozone have a company called Motormite that makes alot of diff parts and they make some door handle replacements.i have checked myself online and found a few suppliers but some of them had outrageous prices compared to what you can get it for elsewhere.Ex.--i checked on a master cylinder for my 88 chrysler online..online price $125.00 (new) and at the local parts store $25.00 for a remanufactured master cyl with a lifetime warranty. try some search engines for 99 buick parts,ebay motors and locally and see what options you have.
I'm planning on changing the oil on my 1992 Buick Park Avenue. I'm going to buy a new oil filter, and I want to know where will the old filter be located in the car? Also what type of oil do I need to put in the car?
Answer:one of the few good oils left today is rotella 15/40. this oil still has the pot ash type lubricators for flat tappet type engines the filter i use is a fram tough guard with 99% 2nd pass performance the filter is on the pass side of the car on the back side of the engine not that hard to get to. i usally take mine loose from the top with the pan already in position under the car make sure to warm up the car for around 8 min. and pull it up on the ramps i always remove the oil fill cap before i pull the drain plug to let the oil come out as fast as possible to help rinse out as much debris as possible. then wipe down all oil mating surfaces, apply a thin film of oil to the filter o ring install filter and oil (after re installing drain plug) replace filler cap and start the car and check for leaks and wala your a pro and good luck!!!
