park avenue

Hey guys, I have a flashing temperature on the auto climate control head unit. It goes away after about 1 minute of operation. Here’s a vid: All vent modes work fine (I replaced the vacuum lines behind the glove box like this guy did ) I did notice the passenger temp control on the door...

I'm looking to purchase a 1990 Park Avenue Ultra. My key criterion: Pristine interior. I could be flexible on mileage, but the more prime the Ultra, the better. A dream scenario would be 80k or less miles, accident free and near perfection. I could be flexible on colors, etc.,

Hi all, I’ve just purchased a 1996 PA equipped with GT suspension. I immediately noticed it has a much stiffer steering feel than the dynaride equipped (non-GT) Park Avenue I test drove earlier. I’d really like the steering to be as soft and light as possible (pinky steering?) as well as...

I will put this here in hope of helping someone : on a 1999 PARK AVENUE and possibly others of this era, the end plug is completely different than the Regal and such and located with a group of three plugs above the parking brake. the plastic frame work the three plugs are in pivots on two...

I love my baby, tryna keep her going as long as possible and want to give her the best oil possible. I currently do Valvoline full synthetic High Mileage. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks all!

The security light comes on every time I start my car and stays on until I turn the car off. It doesn't seem to affect anything, it's just on. When I bought the car, the guy who sold it to me showed me how to get it to start without the light turning on, but I forget what he did exactly...

I have a 1999 Buick Park Avenue with 243,xxx miles on it. My transmission started shifting rough on occasion. It comes and goes pretty randomly. Sometimes it's really bad and I'll get a service engine soon light with a P0742 "torque converter clutch circuit stuck on" code. Sometimes it will...

Hi everyone. I recently became the owner of this GORGEOUS 2000 Buick Park Avenue 24k Gold edition…the problem is, I can’t seem to find anyone else who has one! Can anyone tell me why these were made or how they were an option in 2000? What makes them special? Any details would be appreciated...

What is your favorite North American generation of the Buick (Electra) Park Avenue? I'm including the early years when Park Avenue was a trim level on the Electra and not yet its own model.

I hope this is the right place for this. I have a 2000 Park Avenue Ultra. 121,000 miles. Well cared for all its life. However, the service engine light came on a few months ago and it’s showing a PO 171–left bank 1 too lean. I have taken my car to two Buick dealers and five independent...

I noticed that the compressor is kicking in way too often. Upon closer inspection, the sensor lever is wobbling. It looks like in the attached video clip. Question, may this lead to wrong reading of the ride height and this repeating compressor running? Or is it normal, or irrelevant? Can...

So I have a 2003 Buick Park Ave Ultra, I have had it for a week it ran great the first week and all weekend drove 500 miles. Had an oil change and just turned over 200,000 miles Monday morning I went out to start my car and it would start and rev up then die finally got it to work. Worked...

Hi All, I guess this question comes up every now and then, but I haven't seen it recently. For many years I am using Bridgestone Turanza on my 96 PA. After experiencing poor Contis and terrible Goodyears I was quite happy with the Bridgestone - a few months ago I got the fourth set. However...

Hi, Earlier this week my girlfriends car got rear ended and naturally it belonged to her grandma and holds a lot of sentimental value. Side note, my girlfriends grandma passed and she's selling me the car since it reminds her of her grandma so that way she knows it will be taken care of but she...

Thanks for adding me to the group! I bought this in Ohio earlier this summer, (it has some Florida and California roots), and after a few unexpected repairs (Engine computer and harmonic balancer), it's going pretty well. I've always thought that this was a giant leap forward for Buick, and I'm...

Never owned a Buick, and have no idea about their engine, longevity, durability, and how to repair the 3800. I’m an owner of a few Ford cars, so I have no experience with these engines. 1994 Buick Park Avenue base. 130,000 miles. car seems to be in somewhat decent shape Internally. No leaks...

This is not a starter or slow turning over problem. Its fuel, spark, or air related. I bought this car after it had been sitting unused for over half a year “AS IS” 2001 LeSabre Custom with 98k miles. Sometimes the car starts instantly. Sometimes it cranks and cranks while trying to fire up for...

I have a '89 Electra park avenue that i have been having some trouble with recently as the TPS went out on me and since then i have tried everything to get it to run smoothly again, I changed the TPS and have set it correctly but now I am having issues with rough idle and random idle drops while...

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...
