Guest Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 I just bought a 95 park ave with the 3.6l v6 and was curious if anyone knows what the horsepower is? also what is the hp for the supercharged 3.8 in the ultra?<P>one final question is that the car has the traction control option and I noticed that the little light on the dash that says "traction off" comes on when I'm driving. anyone know what to check on to fix it?<P>Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 My grandparents have a '93 Park Ave. and I believe that hp on that year 3.8 is around 185. Your "traction off" light coming on is not something that should be happening. Something is probably wrong w/ the traction control system and should be looked at. This may be the kind of thing that you want a dealer to look at as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 HP for the 3800 series I (88-95) was 165. The supercharged engine had 205 (92-94) and 225(95).<BR><P>------------------<BR>-Keith<BR>'87 Lesabre T-type (The T without WHOOSH)<BR>http://members.xoom.com/lesabrettype/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 I havent checked the fuse yet but I noticed that the traction control light is off initially after I start the car but it lights after about a tenth of a mile.<P>I purchased the service manual last week and I'm still waiting for it to come. maybe that will give me info how to troubleshoot it.<P>One more note, the engine in this car is the 3800 series II. what is the HP for that (I see the response is for the Series I motor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2000 Share Posted September 27, 2000 A Series II can be up to 205 hp. I have also seen a 195 hp. rating when installed in minivans.<P>------------------<BR>Hal, btk@vbe.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 Here's what I know:<P>The 3.8L EFI V6 was rated at 165hp from 1987-90, and was up from 140hp in 1984?-86. In mid-1990, the 3.8 was redesigned to become the 3800 Series I with equential EFI, and was rated at 170hp for 1991-1994. It was used at first int the Park Ave. and Regal, and became used in the LeSabre for its '92 redesign. The 3800 Series I was again changed for 1995, making 205hp in Park Ave. and LeSabre, and 195-200hp for Regal.<P>As far as supercharged versions go, they came out in '92? with 205hp, moved up to 225hp in '94 (redesigned Eaton M62 supercharger), and topped out at 240hp in 1996 (with Eaton M90 unit).<P>------------------<BR>Steve C.<P>2000 Regal GS<BR>Jasper Green Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
