1995 Buick Lesabre Repair Question
Mileage: 124,000 miles.
Fuel pump? or something else
Asked by tcoopersonAnswer
well, if you cannot afford to have it towed,then what about the repairs. it may be the pump but you need to have the pressure checked. spark must be checked as well. have the code pulled as well
Roy
so change spark plugs and fuel pump and i should be good?
any way to get one of the testers to come to me and check my car
no, i did not say that. you need to have these checked before replacing anything. a pressure test needs to be performed to confirm the pump. if it does not have spark, that is another issue that needs to be checked.
basics first. do not throw parts at it till you know the failure.
Roy
Roger so rent a pressure tester and see if its geting good pressure then go from there could a failing fuel pump make check engine light come on?
no, it wont on an obd1 system.
you need around 40 lbs of pressure.
you can get a mobile tech to come to you but exspect it to be expensive.
Roy
wow could you shoot me a ball park for repairs if it is the fuel pump just a general rate you think should be charged
if it is the pump, the pump is about 90 and the labor is 2.5 hours. thats only after it has been tested. get your failure confirmed.
Roy
ok so i confirmed today it was not fuel pump and now i need to test the coil packs and the thing they mount to however i was told it could also be a catalytic converter this is begining to become a headache
