Problem overview

Some Buick Park Avenue owners report experiencing intermittent no-start issues, which may be resolved by replacing the crankshaft position sensor, a critical component of the engine's ignition system. These owners often find that correcting no-start problems can also involve replacing the alternator, starter, or battery. Additionally, some report success with cleaning connections or performing repairs on the ignition and fuel systems. Accurate diagnosis is essential, as factors such as a failing fuel pump, faulty ignition module, or ECM issues can also contribute to starting difficulties. When troubleshooting, checking for spark, fuel pressure, and injector pulse can help identify the specific problem area.
