1993 Buick Park Avenue Won't start

My care will not start, when I turn the key, I hear a sound that sounds like a muffled popping noise, but the car never turns over. I had experienced the problem before and took it to a mechanic and he told he unhooked the crankshaft sensor and then plugged int back in and it did start after that which was about 2 months ago until now. The mechanic stated that he did not see anything else wrong and if the cranskshaft sensor was bad it woudl have not cranked at all. Do you think the crankshaft sensor is going bad or is it something else.

Thanks for the info. The engine will turn over but will not start. The last time it happened I had a mechanic remover the crankshaft sensor and put it back in and it started with no problem until yesterday. He stated that if the crankshaft sensor was bad it would have not started at all, but I will get the other issues looked into as well.

Thanks,

One day I left the doctor's office & it took me about two hours to get it started. Once it started I was able to drive it home. The next day I tried to leave my house it would turn over but wouldn't start. The fuel pump seems to be working, it seems to be getting fuel but maybe not enough? Any suggestions?

We have a new battery, redone tranny, car will start then immediately die. If a door is ajar or if we have locked the car sometimes it won't start either. We have to reset it by locking them again then the horn/security system will honk after 20 minutes and then SOMETIMES you can start the car. We have been leaving it unlocked, all doors closed tightly and the car hasnt' started for 2 days.
Security system issue? Key issue? Crank Shaft Positioning sensor maybe?

Thank you for your response. The engine starts and immediately dies, lasting 2-3 seconds tops. The security light had been on solidly and my husband reset the security sensor (just since I posted on the board), hoping to be able to start it and at least get it home for the weekend - but it did not work. The 8th number of the VIN is K

Thanks so much,

Thanks Louie,

I received those pages, thank you so much for sending them. I did print them out and will take them home with me this evening. I am encouraged and hopefully this won't be another $700-$1000 fix.

What did the digit in the VIN tell you (out of curiosity)?

Thanks,
Adrienne

I Have Change Spark Plugs, Starter, Alternater, Fuse and the just will not turn on the engine wont even turn over

This buick has a security system don't know the name of it but you have to put the code in the radio in order to unlock the system and the car turn over made sum noise but did not start but my sister put and music cd in and the car does even turn over it just show error on cd player and keeps making noise and one you turn the key it just makes a click noise with a beep. But does a engine do that when it is locked? Or sum thing wrong with the cord from the start to the batteery?

My car will crank, but it wont start. I have fuel, but I heard it has something to do with the spark. If that were to be the case, what should I do to get it fixeD? Just replace the spark plugs? If its not the spark, then what should I do?

Have a 1997 buick park avenue was driving down the road and heard a loud noise and the car cut off. Tried to start car back up and would not turn over. Then noticed that coolant was coming out heavily.

Okay, I am working on a 1996 buick park avenue ultra. The owner said that it died at a stop light, he tried to start it again and after several cranks it eventually started up again. He drove it home and called me to come take a look. A few days later I arrive to diagnose the problem. I ask him to try to start the vehicle. It starts right up and sounds like it is running perfectly. I have him turn it off and restart the car and it just continues to crank without turning over. He continues until the battery is almost dead and still no start. I am getting spark to the plugs and plenty of fuel pressure from the main fuel line. I changed the plugs, which were all consistanly carboned up, the fuel filter by the tank. Still no start. When cranking the engine I am hearing a unique sound. Sort of like rur, rur, rur, rur. 3-4 sec. Pause rur, rur, rur, rur.3-4 sec. Pause rur, rur, rur, rur. Over and over consecutively with my jumper cables connected. I have thoroughly cleaned both battery post connections as well. Also I have a blinking security light on the dash that the owner claims always did that, but I bet he is not totally sure about that. The dummy lights seem to be flashing speratically as the engine is cranking over. The supercharger is spinning with little resistance as it should with the belt removed and the oil level is full. I am at a total loss as this engine does not have the conventional distributor, but rather electronic ignition. No check engine light is coming on, so I have not pulled any codes as of yet. Should I anyways? I am not sure what to diagnose next but I am committed to finding the problem and am experienced with an ohm meter and would love to get some direction on where to look next. Thanks a million!
