I'm not sure why, but I had a 1995 Buick that did the same thing.
I spent all kind of money with several differant mechanics, that never did
fix the problem. I finally traded the car on the day that it was running.
The car seemed as though it was haunted! Sorry I couldn't help.
TRADE THE CAR when it's running.

∙ 13y agoHave someone check the crankshaft position sensor. We have a 1990 Park Avenue with the 3.8 and it turned out to be that. Our car died with my wife driving on the way home from work and once she ran up on the curb and drove down the side walk and finally got it stopped (no Power Steering or brakes) she was able to immediately start the car and it ran fine all the way home.

∙ 10y agousually these goofy cars have issues with the key resistor. You can by pass the resistor by measuring the resistance of your key with an ohm meter and buying a resistor at that level and installing it. Here is a copy off another site on how to do it:
ok this system is very easy to bypass.take a multi meter and set it to ohms.measure the resistance of the resistor in the key.side to side of it.one lead on one side and the other lead on the other side it should give you a reading of OHMS.then swing by a shop that installs after market alarms or remote starters.they have sets of resistors they use when they bypass these systems for remote starts.either get a resistor from them or even radio shack as close to the reading you got when you measured your key pellet.THEN get under the steering column and there will be 2 small wires (usually white)they should run up to the ignition lock threw the steering column.make sure you have found those 2 wires cut them and splice back the wires(harness side NOT the cut wires running up to the lock) put one end of the resistor to one of the wires and the last end to the last wire.that should tell the module you have the correct resistance all the time and allow it to run and start just fine(the only other way to fix it is to replace the ignition lock cylinder.those small wires that go into the lock cylinder love to break and cause this problem

∙ 13y agoSounds like a fuel delivery problem. Could be the fuel pump relay or security system. Have you put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail yet?

∙ 16y agoMy '92 PA did the same thing. I ended up replacing the crank and cam sensors and had no further problem. Without this information, the computer can not control the timing.

∙ 16y agoMy 92 PA had the same problem. After it cooled down it would start again. The crank and the cam sensors were found to be bad. These were replaced and I have had no problem since.
