First you take the serpentine belt off lay it out of the way to take the belt off get a wrench and put it on the tensioner pully"use the wrench to loosen tension on the belt then you can remove the belt. Next loosen the bolts put them in a container so you won't loose them.Then lift the old alternator and take the wire loose from it. then to install your new alternator do everything in reverse remember that putting the belt back on can be tricky at first but it gets easier once you did it a few times take the alternator attach the wires you can't get them missed up because they have a special connector that won't fit in any other places on the alternator.Then set the alternator in place"Put the bolts in tighten them then put the belt on By loosining the tension on the tensioner pully using a wrench just place the wrench on the bolt and pull up the pullyshould come up as we'll then place the belt on the pully and release the wrench make sure the belt is completly on the pullies because if they are'nt when you start the car they will slip off believe me it happend to me once on my Buick electra park avenue. The engine is out in it now but I have another engine I just got to get it put in. I hope My information was of help to you.
I have a 1991 Buick Park Ave. My dad put a very small hose clamp behind the hood lever in 2005 and it had quit and after that it worked.
In the oweners manuel, or most fuse blocks have diagrams on the cover.
check inner and outer tie rod ends
Shad from San Diego. Check your oxygen sensor.
The 3.8 Liter V6 powering the Buick Park Avenue Ultra requires only 87 octane fuel. You can use 89 octane but there is zero benefit in doing so. The Supercharged version may require 89 or 91 octane of that I am not sure. Check the owners manual and use exactly what is recommended.
Check your local Junk Yards. Do not expect much though. Some people put ads in the local paper looking for junk cars running or not. You may get more from these people.
This may be a crankshaft sensor. It will be intermediate and will not show a code. It may also be the the Engine Control Module and/or the Mass Air Flow Sensor. I speak from experience.
My 88 Park-Ave holds a little less than 5 qts. (including filter) and keep an extra qt. in your trunk (BTW, put the oil bottle in a ziplock bag to help prevent it from spilling in your trunk)
Check a for a blown/burned out fuseable link between starter and alternator
Not sure where this came from (unless it was a Buick dealer), but no, they're not the only ones who can put tire on the Park Avenue. The only way they could pull off that kind of scam would be to put wheel locks on your car that only they could unlock (and that you had authorized) and I've never heard of that happening.
without suspension modification the biggest you can get on a park ave is 20'sAnswerMost likely yes, but be sure to remember that the tire aspect ratio will need to be reduced in order to accomodate the increased rim size. By the way, why would you want to put 22 inch rims on a vehicle which people 65 and older drive?Answerbecause people 65 and over aren't on them thangs...22's ya can't lose. LOL @ that answer!^so if i put 22s on a park ave it will mess up transmission
Disconnect the 1982 Regal alternator. Loosen the alternator bolts and slide to release belt tension. Put new belt on ( you may have to remove other belts to gain access) and pull the alternator sideways to put medium tension on the belt while tightening the bolts. Reconnect the battery.
