1992 Buick Riviera Problems
Transmission Fluid Leak From Cooler Line
An automatic transmission fluid leak may develop from the rubber section of a transmission cooler line. In some cases the rubber section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this type of leak.
AC Not Cold Due to Refrigerant Leak and/or Pressure Sensor Fault
The air conditioning system can be prone to refrigerant leaks and failure of one or more pressure sensors. The AC pressure sensors should be checked for proper operation when ever the AC system is serviced.
Oil Leaks From Intake and Valve Covers
The intake manifold and valve cover gaskets can develop external engine oil leaks.
High Pressure Power Steering Hose Can Leak Fluid
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
ABS accumulater may fail
The anti-lock brake (ABS) accumulator may fail causing loss of power brake assist. (The brake pedal will become very hard.)
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.
Rear of Vehicle May Ride to High or Low
The auto level ride compressor may fail causing the rear of the vehicle to ride to high or too low.
Trunk Lid Won't Close Due to Trunk Pull Down Switch Failure
The trunk pull down switch may fail causing the trunk lid not to close completely. Our technicians tell us that the failed switch can be replaced without changing the complete pull down motor assembly.
Engine Stall Due to Air Flow or Crank Sensor
The mass air flow or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to stall intermittently.
ABS light due to master cylinder assembly failure
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. This can result in an engine overheating condition. A leaking water pump will require replacement.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
CRT dash failure
Cam sensor interrupter failure
The camshaft position sensor interrupter (magnet) on the camshaft sprocket may fall off causing the check engine (SES) to illuminate. If this fault occurs on high mileage vehicles our technicians recommend to also replace the timing chain at the same time.
