#478 of 485 91' PAU engine change by raina2 Jun 22, 2009 (10:43 am)
hey, was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a 93' Regal engine in my 91' Park Avenue. Some things are different but if I can I make it work will the electrical and such be compatable with my car? What other engines can I use?

#480 of 485 park ave won't start by dano32 Oct 09, 2009 (10:30 am)
I have a 1991 park ave. a few weeks ago it wouldn't start due to no spark. i ended up replacing the module and it woked fine for a couple of weeks before dying while moving when my daughter was driving it. i again i didn't have spark and didn't think it was the module again, and the coil pack wasn't arcing out like they do , so i replaced the cam and crank sensors....nothing. I got a used module off a car with a bad tranny so i knew it worked. the car started and ran for about ten seconds before dying and not starting again. is my module getting fried? is it possible my coil pack is shorting internally and damaging my module? i hate to go buy a coil pack and 100$ module to test my theory. is there anyway to test the module and coil pack???   thanks,   guy who should've spent more on his daughters school car!!

Replying to: waynezo (Sep 17, 2008 5:19 am) 1998 Buick Park Avenue Driver Side Door Handle Replacement   A tip broke off an arm like protrusion on the back of my door handle - supergluing did no good as I was able to easily snap it off again. A replacement handle was $93 at my dealer (ouch). I replaced it in about 2 hours, working slow and carefully - all is well now.   Put window up. Remove the inner door panel by removing 3 screws total. Two are located in the arm rest (below the little plastic panel that can be removed using a flat blade screw driver – it needs to be bent up slightly), and the other screw is located behind the door light (use flat blade screw driver to pop out the light). Lift the panel up and a number of clips behind the panel will release as you lift the panel up. Disconnect the wire harness.   There is a black vinyl covering stuck with some kind of black putty to the inner door below the panel. It can be pulled away enough to access the door handle area without removing it completely. I had to pull it off the top two black plastic fasteners and left side, but was able to leave the right side and bottom still stuck on.   Unclip the lock latch rod (bottom black clip), remove the two bolts holding the handle – the left side bolt is a little trickier to get at and you’ll need a small 10mm wrench to get at it. The right bolt is easily accessible. The handle will now partially pop out. You now need to unhook the upper latch rod (black clip). The handle will now come out. Don’t worry if you drop one of the bolts in the door – you can easily reach a thin arm down to the bottom of the door!   Take the key lock out and put it into your new handle and follow these steps backwards to put your door back together.">

I have a 1998 Park Avenue and I replaced my rear shocks. How can i tell if my load leveling compressor is working? Also is it possible to upgrade the rear deck speakers if they have a amplifier. Thanks. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Nov 06, 2009 4:25 pm) 99ultra (Nov 20, 2009 3:35 pm)

Replying to: brian1998 (Nov 05, 2009 11:53 pm) On my H-bodies I own the compressor runs for about 3-5 seconds after the key is on for 30-40 seconds.   Turn your key on and go stand beside the rear or the car. You'll hear the compressor run to adjust the pressure in the shocks.

Replying to: brian1998 (Nov 05, 2009 11:53 pm) First to check your load leveling system toss a bunch of heavy crap in the trunk, you should hear the compressor kick on and see the rear end raise up.   Second the rear speakers, I replaced my rear decks with pioneer speakers from cruthfield, you will need to get some adaptive stuff at the local parts store to make the conections. I did not do anything else and the upgrade is well worth it.
#485 of 485 Re: fuel gauge problem.... help... [witt42] by bowlee Nov 28, 2009 (5:30 pm)
Replying to: witt42 (Dec 26, 2007 8:16 pm) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! My 98 PA has had this fuel gauge issue for a few years and I've been reluctant to drill a hole in the plastic - the magnet trick worked like a charm!!! If it happens again, I'll know what to do. By the way, the dealership said it would be about $1000 to put in a new instrument panel to fix the problem. My PA looks as good as new now.
