Did they try to literally blow up the motor to put it in this condition?? :jeez:

When you mean the problem travels with [the coil packs] do you mean the 2/5 pack, when placed in a different set,...

I agree, I have a 94 century that had a similar problem last year. Quick and simple test. Next time it dies. Turn off all electrical items in the car (radio, heater/ac fan, etc.) to make it as...

Ok, that blows my theory of a bad fuel pump out of the water (partially at least).

When you talk about the dash lights blinking and the speedomoter needle jumping, it sounds like an electrical...

Hi,

I have a 94' Century that was having a hard time running for a while. I can completely relate to your frustration as I too took it to several shops before figuring out how to fix it myself....

Hi,

I need to replace the hazard flasher in my 94 Buick Century. The AllData on it says it's in the "convienence center", behind the instrument panel, left of the steering wheel shaft. I've...

I suspected the 1-4 coil... I've gone thru a couple of coils...actually both coil sets are about a year old...they went out one by one w/in 2 weeks. The car actually drives similar to when the coil...

Here is what the car does:

While driving in heavy stop-and-go traffic (either in city traffic or while delivering the mail in a dense residential area), the car begins to misfire / sputter. At...

Hi all,

I'm looking at purchasing a scanner for my 94 Buick Century Special (4-cyl 2.2L) and was wondering if anybody had any recommendations or if anyone has used the following:

Actron...

Hi, I feel your frustration. One thing I might try is to just disconnect the fan and drive it for a little bit. Keep an eye on the temp but on a cool day with highway driving, it shouldn't get...

I have a 94 Century, so this may be similar...

There is a little plastic clip on the relays that hold them in place. Try using a flat blade screwdriver to push the clip out and the relay should...

First, check the radiator cap. Make sure it's tight. They do go bad and it could be starting to leak, most auto part stores carry them for around $5.

Then, when was the last time the coolant...

tlself,

I've seen some relays under the dash where you have to practically be upside-down to get to them. Did you try taking off the kickpanel (the cover under the dash)? I've been trying to...

Reinstalling the old one has the temp guage back to the way it was. Go figure... bad sensor maybe? I don't think the front fan is kicking on either, just the rear one.

additional note...

Just checked fluid again and it was a bit low, added more fluid and also topped off the reserve container. I backed the sensor out a bit and let it idle for 10 min.

Starting...

Hello everyone,

Over the past few months I've been trying to diagnose what the problem is with my car. In driving my mail route in areas where there is heavy stop and go, the temp guage will go...

What exactly where you doing right before it happened? Accelerating? Stopping... starting... etc.etc.

Does the engine make any sounds when you try to start it at all? Even a little 'click'...

I'm having a similar problem from the sound of it... 94 Century Special 2.2L.

In driving for the USPS on the rural routes... I'm doing 40-100 miles of stop and go driving which really heats the...

Is your engine getting hot?

I drive for the USPS which is a LOT of stop and go driving. Lately, after about 40 miles of it, my 94 Buick Century will start to run rough... sometimes die at stops...

Thanks for replying Bill!

All bulbs were working fine. I even bought an entire set of new ones and tried that...nothing.

I'm trying to locate the part that actually makes them flash. I...

Hi! The hazard lights in my 94 Century Special have stopped working completely. I tried to locate the flasher relay (Chiltons book says under convienience center, dash, behind left kick panel), and...

I have the same problem in my 94 Buick Century Special. The Service Engine Soon light came on just as I was leaving the town in which I bought it, several shop trips later and a lot of money, it is...
