How do you restart buick century 1999 fuel injection after adding gas after running out of gas?
The problem when you run out of gas is that people keep trying to start the vehicle. However, that can damage the fuel pump as the fuel pump is lubricated by gasoline.
The pump bushings heat up and seize the fuel pump shaft.
There are only 4 ways that i have found to slove this problem.
First...beat on the bottom of the tank with a baseball bat or rubber mallet. try not to dent the tank. The object is to shock the pump to free it up. Do this while someone is cranking the engine.
Second...add gas into the intake and start the car, sometimes running the car will free the pump.
Third...make sure that the fuse is good.
Fourth...replace the pump.
if the pump is working you should be able to hear the pump "buzzing" when you turn the key. Place your ear next to the gas filler neck with the gas cap off to hear the pump easier.
Best of luck.
How do you replace the egr valve on 1995 buick centruy?
The EGR on the 95 Century is on the drivers side, towards the back of the engine.
1. Unplug the triangular electrical connector on top of the EGR.
2. Remove the two 8mm bolts that secure the black shroud protecting the linkage to the air intake. If I wasn't clear enough, just look at the front bolt on the EGR, you'll see that the black shroud has a slot that shares the same front bolt and has to be moved out of the way to R&R the EGR.
3. Now all you have to do is remove the front and rear bolts on the EGR and you can then pull it up and off.
4. If you made it this far, just do the same thing in reverse with the new valve,
Be sure that your gasket is aligned before you tighten down the valve.
I hope this helps you out.
BTW, the entire operation took me just 10 minutes to complete, it's a piece of cake.

Where is the oil filter located on a 1986 Nissan 300zx turbo?
I have an 86 turbo. The oil filter sticks out from the side of the engine on the passenger side and is located right above the starter motor. I just changed it from under the car ( jacked up ). I can't remember if you can get to it from above but I think so. I expect they have not changed the location much. I have a 93 300ZX TT. The oil filter is near the rear passenger side of the oil pan. The car is so low that you cannot get to the filter or oil drain on the oil pan without lifting the car.
Where is the oil filter located on a 1989 Buick Century?
It's a 4 cylinder and we have looked quite hard but just cannot seem to find where it is located. Yes, we feel foolish. Any more help will be much appreciated. You failed to list which engine. There is a 4 cylinder and a V6. But no matter, I can assure you both engines have an oil filter. If you will crawl under the car and look hard, you will find the filter.
there is 4 resistors located under the instrament panel that usually need replaced or has a broken solder joint.
heres a video on how to fix it:

How many gallons of gas can a 1991 Buick Century hold?
Its about 13 gallons. But the word of advice is to not let your gas guage get below 1/4 tank. The guages on these cars are known to be inacurate. And you can run out of gas when you think you have some, and worse case, fry a fuel pump. Both are not fun...LoL

What is the firing order for a 1993 Buick Century?
Note that if you have a 2.8L or 3.1L it is best not to use your engine firing order as the combination to unlock your luggage.
== == The firing orders for the 1993 Buick Century engines are: 2.5 Liter engine firing order is 1-3-4-2 with #1 cylinder closest to belt. 2.8 Liter and 3.1 Liter engine firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6 with #1 cylinder closest to firewall and belt (rear right corner when viewed from driver's seat) 3.3 Liter engine firing order is 1-6-5-4-3-2 on this engine the #1 cylinder is closest to the FRONT of the car and closest to the belt (passenger's side of the car) Put another way, it is front right corner of the engine when viewed from driver's seat. All this information is from page 20-4 of the 1986-1993 Chilton's Auto Repair Manual. Again, hope this is useful Bob Giel, Los Angeles, CA
How do you replace the water pump on a 1996 Buick Century?
Just did one on my "96" Buick last month. First, you need to deal with draining and replacing the coolant ...read this from one of my posts on this subject...
On the driver's side lower rear of the radiator is a PLASTIC 'drain plug about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. After the car is cool, first open the radiator cap ( you need to twist CCW and push down hard at the same time), Then CAREFULLY with a pair of duck bill pliers or the like, unscrew the drain plug..BE CAREFUL!!!! if you break this plug it is a major pain in the a.. to replace it. Drain the coolant into a proper container and don't spill it as animals and kids love the sweet taste of antifreeze right up till it kills them. When the system is completely drained ( including coolant used to cool the trans),replace the plastic drain plug CAREFULLY
Near the waterpunp (passenger side of engine you will see a "fitting " with a nut and another bolt in the nut.... this is a vent device ...lossen the bolt to let air escape when you add the new coolant. There is also another "vent" on the driver side hose from the radiator.. do the same thing here. The object of the procedure is to refill the system WITHOUT any air pockets. Once this is achieved , make sure the two "vents" are closed. Run the engine with the radiator cap off long enough to insure the coolant level stays right to the top of the radiator fill pipe.replace the cap and insure that the reservoir tank is filled to the proper level. Take a ride then let the car cool down again then remove the cap again to make sure the coolant is still up in the fill neck. Please dispose of the anti freeze properly...nasty stuff!!! Most AutoZones will recycle it for free for you...good luck RONCO
When you have drained the system, now the actual repair takes place....On the passenger side, the expansion tank ( plastic tank) must be removed so you can "get at" things.Next , the serpentine belt must be removed...this is accomplished by inserting a prybar underneath the idler pulley and relieving the tension on the belt.The water pump has a pulley that is attached to the pump with four bolts. these bolts must be removed...note sometimes its easier to loosen theese boltls BEFORE you remove the serpentine belt.Tap the pulley off the pump GENTLY
Now... remove the five bolts that secure the actual water pump to the block...be VERY careful as the mating surfaces are ALUMINUM!!!! which dent nick and ultimately LEAK quite easily!
After CAREFULLY cleaning the mounting surface on the block where the pump goes put a thin layer of gasket cement (like Permatex) on both the block and pump body; put the gasket on then carefully install the pump with the correct line up on the bolts.NOTE: replacement pumps now have a totally different impeller device.. don't worry, they are compatible with the original factory pump.
Re-install the pully and serpentine belt. Re-install the tank. See the drain procedure above and refill the system.
If you do this job yourself, you save a TON of money. The replacement pump cost an amazing 23 bucks at Autozone and 3 bucks for some gasket cement... the rest is ALL LABOR ( you my friend!)Good luck and BE CAREFUL.Ronco

Why does your 91 Buick century idols high after replacing harmonic balancer?
sounds like you broke the crank sensor that is mounted right behind the balancer.
How do you change cylinder lock in a 1991 Buick Century?
Changing the cylinder lock is fairly easy and is the same on most vehicles.... but you typically need the key. First, you take off the lower steering column cover. You should be able to see the bottom of the cylinder lock now. You insert the key and turn it to the "run" position, and there will be either pins or screws that you push or remove and the cylinder will slide out. Again this method will only work with the key.
How do you replace the serpentine belt on 1992 Buick Century 3.3l?
pull the tensioner to relieve the tension and slip the belt over the alternator pulley. The tensioner is a spring-loaded pulley below the alternator. The tensioner takes a special tool that fits into a square hole in the side of it. Or you can use an 18 mm socket on the tensioner's pulley bolt. Follow the decal near the right front corner of the engine compartment to route the new belt.
