1993 Buick Park Avenue Problems
Engine Stalling Due to Mass Air Flow/Crankshift Position Sensor Failure
The mass air flow or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to stall intermittently. Proper diagnoses will be necessary to determine the cause of any stalling condition.
Intake Manifold Gasket May Develop Engine Oil and/or Coolant Leak
The intake manifold gasket may develop external engine oil and/or coolant leak. The intake manifold will need to be removed and the gasket replaced to correct this issue.
Engine Overheating Due to Water Pump Leak
The water pump may develop a coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.
Poor Ride/Handling Due to Worn Suspension Struts
The front struts may show signs of wear, or be excessively bouncy ride at freeway speeds. This may begin to occur at around 75,000 miles.
Loss of Power Steering Fluid From Steering Rack Failure
The steering rack may fail causing a loss of power steering fluid as a result the steering may become hard to turn.
Transmission Fluid Leak From Cooler Line
The rubber section of an automatic transmission cooler line may develop a fluid leak . In some cases the leaking section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this concern.
Wear in Outer Tie Rod Ends Can Cause Steering Problems
The outer tie rod ends on the steering linkage may wear causing excessive free play in the steering and uneven tire wear. If the worn tie rod ends are replaced, the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted as necessary.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump can fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians highly recommend to replace your fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
High Pressure Power Steering Hose Can Leak Fluid
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
Car Won't Start and Security Light is On
Problems with anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The key and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced to correct this condition.
ABS light due to brake pressure modulator valve failure
Power Window Not Working Due to Window Motor
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
ABS light due to brake lamp failure
If the ABS light on the instrument panel illuminates, our technicians recommend checking the brake lamps first. It could indicate that a brake light is not working or has burned out.
Check Engine Light Due to Cam Sensor Interrupter Fault
The cam sensor interrupter (magnet) may become demagnetized and/or fall off of the camshaft gear causing the Check Engine Light (Service Engine Soon) light to illuminate. On higher mileage vehicles it would be advisable to replace the timing chain and gears if this problem were to occur as the timing cover must be removed to replace the interrupter.
Engine Control Module (ECM) Can Fail
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail causing stalling and various other engine & transmission drivability concerns.
