| Answer to: SES light at 50+ mph, '94 Beretta | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Did you thoroughly clean below the area where the EGR valve mounts that feeds into the intake manifold? Plugging up with carbon there seems to be a common problem on those engines. Also you might want to check operation of the EGR solenoids. There are 4 wires on the plug going into the valve, A through D. It looks like "D" feeds +12 volt into the solenoids on a common rail via a 10 amp fuse and the computer grounds pins A through C to activate each solenoid as needed. This suggests that the solenoids can be checked for continuity using an ohm meter. You can also see if they click when fed voltage. (Online sources suggest using a 9V transistor radio battery for this.) (Disclaimer: This info is from searching online and using rockauto.com to determine the type of electronic EGR valve your engine is equipped with. I do not have personal experience working on that engine or EGR valve.) As far as diagnostics, is it that the connector is broken and the wire is still there, or is the wire missing? If the wiring is still there you should be able to go behind the connector to jumper the wires and get the computer into diagnostic mode. If you know of a mechanic with a Tech2 scan tool, that should be able to read any data the computer has to offer, but I'm not sure whether the problem with your diagnostic connector will be an issue. Looking at the connector pinout the "E" and "M" terminals are used for serial data communications which I believe should feed the Tech2 but I don't know for sure. (The only OBD1 car I've used my own Tech2 on was a '95 Saab and that had a different type of diagnostic connector under the passenger seat.) | |||||

| The GM 3800 was originally introduced as the Buick V6 and was a very well made engine, especially compared to today's GM engines. I believe the Buick V6 was in production close to 40 years by the time it was retired. A carbureted model was the entry level engine in my 1979 Pontiac Catalina when it was brand new. | |||||

| These days? Absolutely! This one might be a shocker but when my grandmother sold her 1990 Buick Lesabre & bought a brand new 2012 Accord, I couldn't believe how bad it was especially as time passed. It felt flimsy & anemic, couldn't get out of its own way. From the factory it was pulling HARD to the right both just going along & braking (the latter actually got scary at times). I checked to make sure a caliper wasn't locked or defective, etc & since it was still under warranty had her bring it to the dealer, only got worse. I didn't want ... | |||||

And I sure can't afford to test out the cars myself, so I'm going to have to trust someone's word. I will say the scariest accident I ever saw was a mustang trying to blow through a busy 3 lane 4 way intersection in the middle of a city that it was WAY too late for, easily 65-70mph, engine roaring. The cross traffic had the green light before the mustang even entered the intersection. Clipped the front corner of a Buick in the middle lan ... | |||||

| 2006 Buick Lucerne CXL V6 133 545 kms and when I take my foot off the brake the brake lights sometimes stay on for a moment , if I tap the brake pedal they turn off . I have bin under and dash and found the senor and it seems fine , is it possible that the senor is bent or the rod going to the pedal bent ? I played around with it and tried to bend it ever so lightly to where I thought it should be and it works fine but will it last or do I have to fix it ! With this Buick you need to take out the gas pedal to reach the nuts you need to take out to get to ... | |||||
| Red fluid on the garage floor | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | qigirl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2010 Buick Lucerne, 67,000 miles, automatic. I last drove the car around on a trip that was approximately 400 miles; last driven on Sunday, September 26. I was going to drive it today, Oct. 2, backed it out of the garage and noticed a spot on the floor about 3.5 inches in diameter, red (like a light red wine red) that came from the front of the car on the driver's side. I wiped it up; I didn't notice any particular smell to it. I looked under the car and toward the center behind the radiator, there is definitely something that leaked. I have wh ... | |||||

| The 2017-2019 Buick LaCrosse and 2018-2020 Buick Regal Sportback GS 3.6L V6 has cylinder deactivation in that engine, and long term can potentially wear out/damage the engine. Due to poor GM quality in general, some of those cylinder deactivation systems can still malfunction even if disabled (can only be disabled via aftermarket only). The GM-designed 9-speed automatic in the Regal GS has had issues in other GM products and that transmission should be considered a deal breaker for any GM product. Aside from that, expect random electrical issues as it ages ... | |||||

| I have always wondered about drag or reduced gas mileage with destroyed under carriage plastic covering. I have often repaired mine by removing completely or zip ties. Recently once again my car, 2006 Buick Lucerne, experienced damage on the front underneath black plastic covering. I repaired with 4 zip ties securely. Two on the sides and two on the front. What's your recommendation when this happens. Remove or repair. Note, My damage is not terrible but did gash open the protection a bit.

| Answer to: Are Buick’s really the most reliable GM brand? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| They are all bad under GM, just Buick happens to be a little better than the rest of their brands, which as the others have said is not saying much about Buick. There’s not really any Buick’s made in the last 15 or so years that I can really recommend for longevity and minimal issues. Also, take what Consumer Reports says with a grain of salt. | |||||

Unfortunately, the used current generation RAV4 models are listed around $40,000 in our area, and that is significantly out of her budget. The others are easier to find within her budget. I believe that the RAV4s are the most reliable by far, but are these other vehicles good, too? She has about 166,000 miles on her Buick now and plans to get around 175,000 out of it.

| ... weren't too slow either, especially if in a lighter car. I'd recommend cars like the olds cutlass, Buick century, Oldsmobile 98 regency, and the Buick Park avenue if you want a midsize or full-size sedan. And if you wanted a V8 car with more power, GM B-Body full-size sedans were one of the best ways to go. Models years 1991-1996 had either the 5.0 V8 or the 5.7 LT1 V8, both of witch were pretty reliable engines, I've seen both with over 200k on them. Now while the V6 engines had little to no faults, the V8s had an "optispark" system which could go out arou ... | |||||
