Mudbone Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Knowing when not to complain: My garage is full as the restoration on the 55 Buick continues. So I am forced to work on Mama’s car outside in the snow. (Spark plug wires) Of course tomorrow we have to go over the river and through the woods to get to my brother-in-law’s house so it had to be fixed today. (Christmas Eve) God has always blessed us as our cars over the years have always had problems just before a trip but never during a trip! Merry Christmas everybody!!

JohnD1956 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Wow! Bet you're glad it's not a 95 Riviera. The back three wires have to be done from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK YOUNG Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Could also be the perfect excuse not to visit the brother-in-law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 The car ran fine there and back so it was a correct diagnosis. I don't mind going to the brother-inlaws house as we always get plenty to eat and I got Visa gift cards for a gift so I can buy more Buick parts!

serb Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I had a 95 Riv back in 1995 and sure was glad when my lease was up, the car seemed to be in the shop every week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 The rest of the story: The next day the car started missing on 1& 4 (Same coil) I picked up a coil and put it on. That did not fix the problem. I called a friend of mine who teaches auto repair at the community college. He said the Ignition module is the most likely cause. I replaced the module and it has been a week with no further problems. This Park Ave has had little problems now and then but it is still by far the best car I have ever owned. I have had people comment when they ride with us that it is the quietest and smoothest car they have ever rode in. It only has about 127,000 miles so I hope I can get another 50 or so out of it.
