idle

Alright guys I've tried everything I can and now I'm here hoping someone might be able to guide me in the right direction. The car only runs rough at idle, I've now noticed since the fan relay wiring has been fixed and a new relay installed it turns on as it should but draws the power of the...

Ok. I have a 1995 Buick Park Avenue, 3.8 NOT supercharged. The car has been running great until recently. About 3 weeks ago, my fuel pump went out. I pulled the tank out, replaced the pump and strainer, and reinstalled it. The car fired up right there and sounded great. About 20 minutes into...

Hi I am new to GM and this is the first Buick I’ve owned. So bare with me. I have a 2007 Buick Terraza I purchased used a couple months ago. A month later is when I started having issues.. Every morning I would start the vehicle up and it would start and run but, would not have much power and...

Recently my car has been dieing whenever I am idling at a stoplight, in traffic, etc. Does anyone have any ideas why. Oil has been changed and had a new engine installed, battery is reading around 14V, could it be the an air clogged issue, or fuel filter issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello. This is my first post at this forum. I looked around but couldn't find anything relevant searching. I have a 1992 Lesabre. It was my Grandma's car when she was alive. I've had it for a few years now, running it fairly trouble free. It has less than 50k original miles on it. Practically...

I recently bought a 2011 Buick Regal CXL with the 2.4 ecotec non-turbo (65k miles). I've driven it for about 5k miles and have started noticing a hesitation (misfire) at idle when the car is in drive (it would kind of rock the car). It happens seemingly randomly and at varying degrees of...

Wife took her 2004 Buick LeSabre to a mechanic (3rd time now), to have a new rack & pinion put in. They said they needed to drop the engine to do it, and since getting it back, every time we stop at a light or stop sign for any length of time a very strong smell of gas fills the cabin. Like I...

Hello, I and a friend replaced the intake manifold gaskets and valve cover gaskets yesterday due to the gunk build up in the coolant system. When we got done and put everything back together, we started it up and it is idling rough. We figured maybe it was one of the sensors for the air intake...

I have a 60,000 mile LeSabre Custom with the 3.8L(?) V-6 that tends to idle rough when the car is in drive and stopped in traffic. Once in a while, it will stall as I shift from drive to reverse. Otherwise it runs great. Independent technician suggested running Techron in BP 93 octane gas...

Hello all, 1995 Buick Roadmaster. Engine has hesitation at highway speed. Fuel/no fuel issue I think. I also have an issue when coming to a stop the engine RPMs will drop but not stall the car. I will be pulling the IAC and checking to make sure it is not gummed up with carbon. I have cleaned...

In late spring/early summer, I parked my 1993 LeSabre for about a month while I was out trucking. When I got back and drove the car again, it was over-revving. In neutral or park, it revs like it would if I had the petal to the floor. Sometimes, it has the exact opposite problem. Sometimes...

2005 Lacrosse CXS. A little under 100k, transmission fluids changed about a month ago, new oil, new power steering fluid line. This happened this morning as I decelerated from 40 to 25 to get into McDonalds. There was no noticeable thud or thump that I can recall, but the car immediately...

Hi all, My 2011 CXL has a rough idle and my OBD link app shows my RPM level fluctuating(Dash Command rules! It's way more accurate than watching the needle for tiny movements) I've had the car throw a P0300 random misfire code(which cleared right away) and I worry that this could be the...

I just put my transmission back in. Its a 700r bolted to a 305. Its a 1991 buick roadmaster. After putting it back in, I'm pretty confident that i put it all in correctly. But I could be wrong. I am somewhat new at this. When I first start it up, it is a little rough at idle. Sounds like it has...

Hi i have a 2000 Buick LeSabre with 148k miles on it. I've had it about a year and a half, and has been great up until about a month ago. Started a couple months ago, it would randomly stall coming up to a light or at very low rpms, only happened about once a month if that, and went away for...

my 02 regal over heated the other day do to the two plastic 90 elbows on water pump leaking. when she over heated the acceleration died and power steering locked up. so I got it to cool down added fluid and she started but now has a shake and noise coming from motor. took it to autozone said...

Ok. So I just acquired a Cent a month or so ago. It has a 3.1 and less than 140k miles. I just replaced a leaky radiator. But a few days ago, it started having erratic idling. Getting higher and lower etc. When I drive it, it smoothes out and isn't noticeable. While replacing the radiator today...

1995 Buick Park Avenue Ultra rough running I bought this car last November with 145,xxx miles, now has 165,xxx. The CEL has come on since my purchase, and my mechanic (retired from Buick dealer) said it was no big deal, as the car ran great, with no apparent issues. Not the case any longer...

I have a 1996 LeSabre with just under 138K miles on it. I am the 2nd owner, and the 1st owner is a family friend so I know it has been well maintained since day 1. I have a few issues that I am trying to diagnose, thanks in advance for any help given. 1) It occassionally stalls when I try...
