I had to try one additional part. I thought the pressure regulator resolved my problem. With an outside temperature at 45 degrees the car started up great.

What is wrong when my 1998 buick riviera fan motor runs when hooked up to 12v but wire gets hot what is wrong?

Answer

What is getting hot? the wire or the engine. If it is the wire, then the fan motor is bad-drawing too many amps. If the engine is getting hot, then start with thermostat, or check fan controls....etc... may need a scanner to diagnose proper fan operation.

It sounds to me like too much juice is running through the cord, or the cord is not the proper guage. Just my humble (and inexperienced) so take it for what it's worth.

Not to be a smart alec but ask the Librarian They should be able to tell you exactly where to find it.

As far as the internet goes google it I tried and got a whole bunch of stuff from repair manuals to buy, or free downloads depending on exactly what you need. Hope this helped out

Their is no such thing as a transmission fluid reservoir. All the fluid is in the transmission, the lines, and the cooler.

How do you Find engine codes on 95 Buick Riviera?

The 1995 Riviera is a odd year, because it has the OBD2 connector with an OBD1 system. Most of your over the counter code scanners won't work for this car. The Actron 9150 claims it will work. The best price I've seen them is on eBay. You can find the connector if you look under the steering wheel. It should be about 12 pin connector. You can verify the OBD system by looking at the sticker under the hood. I have the same car, and same problem.

How do you stop the Brake Indicator Sound on a 1997 Buick Riviera from continuously dinging as I give it gas til it shifts out of first or second gear?

Had same issue with my 97 riv. turns out the E brake was on the whole time regardless of the pedal position. Check the brake cable just behind the driver door edge for damage. Mine had about 1 inch of sleeve missing which caused the brake to stick on. To temporarily fix it just pull the sleeve back to where it should rest. could also be a problem with the switch on the e-brake pedal as well

Removing hubcaps from a 1963 Buick Riviera?

They should be pretty simple to pop off using a large flat head screwdriver . Be really careful to not scratch them up , if they and the car are perfect or really nice don't touch it and go get someone who knows what they are doing . I have a 63 Riviera they are special cars .

Anyway the screwdriver goes in the gap between the wheel and the hubcap , twist the screwdriver in your hand and the gap should get bigger . Move to either side a little and work your way around until it falls off.

If you cant get them off wait till you try putting them back on again :) This is why I ended up getting a set of Buick Rally mag wheels , you could get em in 1964 on a Riviera so they're nearly correct and they look great and you never have to deal with hubcaps again .
