Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / March 2006Problem starting car
I have a 92 Buick LaSabre that has problems starting when weather is warm. In the winter months car starts fine. I can drive 40 miles to work when warm out and make a short stop to get gas and car will be ok for the rest of the trip but if I drive around town and stop for longer period of time to shop or visit family or friends car will either not start for a while or will start and will die on me before I get back home. Sometimes it will start right back up but will keep dying or will take 10 minutes or longer to cool down before restarting but will still keep dying on the way home. I have changed fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition module, heat sensor switch. If anyone can help me solve this problem I would be very happy. I have been dealing with this problem for 2 years now. Not much driving gets done in summer months unless going to and from work. I think the coil is bad. > I have a 92 Buick LaSabre that has problems starting when weather is warm. > In the winter months car starts fine.

Im not sure if this applies...but I once worked on a car that had the same symptoms.. you dont say what kind of engine...is it TBI (Throttle Body Injection)? turned out there was a break in the windings for the injector (the fine wire that creates the magnetic field for opening the injector nozzle)...when the vehicle was warm the wire would expand and lose contact at the break..when the vehicle cooled the wire contracted and made contact again (drove me nuts finding the prob). run a resistance check on the injector while the vehicle is cold..compare the the reading when the vehicle dies good luck > I think the coil is bad. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > I have been dealing with this problem for 2 years now.
