#2 of 57 plenum recall? by gweilo Feb 03, 2006 (6:12 pm)
Was there ever a recall on the faulty plenum? Looking at a $400 expenditure for an '01. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Feb 05, 2006 5:17 pm)

Replying to: gweilo (Feb 03, 2006 6:12 pm) The plenum design failure ended in 1999.   There was a recall on vehicles 2000-2003 to have the nuts holding the throttle body to the plenum changed to ones that were broader and to add antileak to the coolant the way it's added at most factories to stop minor leaks. GM stopped adding it in 2000 because it discolors the recovery tank.   What happened with your plenum?
#5 of 57 This craazy buick of mine... by demoncarnut75 Jul 21, 2007 (4:19 am)
I have a '94 Buick LeSabre that idles very high and the speedometer doesn't work. One mechanic told me that "mice" might have chewed the wires up in the dash, but that would be impossible, since mice aren't in my car. The "service engine soon" light has been on since I've had it and I recently pulled the ECM out from under the dash and I am not sure how to be sure if the ECM and PROM chip are a match. It has been replaced somewhere around the year 2000. I seem to be stuck at this point. What can I do from here? Replies to this message: mudder304 (Nov 22, 2008 4:03 pm)
#6 of 57 Buick LeSabre/power windows by just4james Jul 22, 2007 (9:29 pm)
have 2000 lesabre with power windows problem. it seems that the window motors all working, but on 2 the cables either snapped or came loose. was hoping if someone has had similar problems, would love any info. to help with the situation. i called gm to see about recalls, but there were none. honestly my argument is i have owned about 6 Buicks the past 14 yrs. never, ever had windows problem. this is a newer car with low mileage, and as i told gm, i feel this should not happen ever on such a newer car; realize no warranty, but feel the repair should be done gratis from them.

Replying to: just4james (Jul 22, 2007 9:29 pm) I have a 2000 lesabre as well. Indeed a good car. I have replaced every window motor in my car and I have replaced the drivers side one twice. The first one I paid $450.00 at the dealership. Now you can get them at www.powerupauto.com for about $65.00. They usually charge me about $30.00 to install at the dealership body shop. Other than the window motor problems the car has been solid. I have 175,000 miles on mine and it steal runs great.

hello to wesconjr. and thanks for the info. when you say dealership body shop fixed it cheaper for you, what dealership body shop? different than the first dealership you paid the $450.00? if i could get it done at the discounted price, that'd be great. any feedback helpful.
#9 of 57 can't get codes by rlrufus Aug 07, 2007 (8:11 am)
I am unable to get a scanner to link up with my '95 lesabre. When i try to plug my obd11 scanner up i get a message it is unable to connect with the computer. the scanner works with my other vehicle so i know it is good. Has anyone got an idea on correcting this prob. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Aug 07, 2007 8:19 am)

Replying to: rlrufus (Aug 07, 2007 8:11 am) That must be one of the crossover years where the connector is OBD II but the link is OBD I. It requires an adapter.
