94 Buick LeSabre stalls

Aug 25, 2003 4 Replies

My 94 Buick LeSabre has been hesitating, for the last several days. Today, it stalled several times. It would start again, go for a few blocks, then the engine stoped. Near home, it would stall after going for about 100 feet or so only.In my driveway, it wouldn't start. Then, after about 5 minutes it started but went for about 20 feet before it and died.



After it was stoped for about 15 minutes it started and I drobe it back and forth in the driveway. Then it stalled.



It seems to me it is worst when hot. Any sugestions on what it could be?



Thank you.

Among other suggestions, check out the crank sensor.

I replaced the Crank Sensor and the problem continues. Tomorrow I am going to test other sensors. It seems this buick does not have a MAP sensor.

"Seems"???? Did it fall off? Look at the "Emission System Hose Routing" sticker under the hood. Do you know what a MAP sensor looks like? It's black, made of plastic, has one electrical plug and one vacuum line, both of which plug into the bottom. It's not part of the intake. From the top it looks quite inconspicuous. It's the size of a crushed cigarette pack.

Wow that's wild. That 3800 engine should be the same in a LeSabre, Park Ave, Bonneville, Eighty-Eight, or Ninety-Eight. Maybe someone with one of those can help. I don't have the book on that, but I can't believe there's no MAP. Sorry I can't help more, GW
