Is it hard or even possible to put back the original early 90's 3300 engine in a 96 Skylark if it has been replaced with a 3100 engine?

Asked by Wiki User

many of general motors engines are interchangeable, if the transmission was not replaced, then its a matter of possibly relocating motor mounts, and if 3300 s the original motor you shouldn't run into any clearance problems

It's behind the fuel tank near the bumper.

How can you locate the problem if a 1995 Buick Skylark headlights will not shut off?

Try disconnecting your negative battery cable for a few minutes then put it back on, sometimes the lighting circuit gets confused, mine did, removing power from it may reset whatever is confused. That has worked for me with my 1995 Skylark.

As a last resort you can remove the headlight circuit breaker or fuse. You would have to put it back in when you drive at night of course.

Why would a low coolant level light stay on on a 1998 buick skylark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There can be two reasons for this problem:

1. The magnetic reed switch has gone bad. (this part goes up from the connector at the bottom of the tank into a column molded into the plastic tank.)

2. The tank interior has gotten clogged with rust or debris and the magnetic float isn't moving with the level.

Take the reed switch out and test it with an ohmmeter. The ohms should go from 0 to infinite as a magnet is moved past the switch.

How do you get step-by-step instructions to remove the back seat to remove the rear speakers in a 1991 Buick Skylark?

It might be easier to go into the trunk with a pair of pliers and twist up on the screws and remove them that way. I have a 1995 Skylark and did that with mine. It wasn't too hard to do but it's a lot easier than taking out the back seat. If you still want to take the back seat out, try Amazon.com and get an old Chilton's manual for Buicks in these years.

Why will Shifter button not depress to get shifter out of park?

Asked by Wiki User

Sounds like either a sensor is dead or the button wire is broke.

You need to press down on the brake first on many cars before you can switch the car out of park.

Remove the left fender panel in front of the wheel well. It is located between the fenderwell and the front bumper. Usually 8 sheet metal screws need to be removed.

Where is the starter located on a 1995 Buick Skylark custom?

Asked by Wiki User

Its in front of the engine, behind the radiator. One bolt you can reach from the bottom and the other has to be reached from the top after you take off the breather hose going to the airbox. Both bolts that hold it on are 15mm, the solenoid nut is either a 13mm or a 15mm for the big one, and a 8mm or 5/16 for the small one.

It's behind that gray colored housing on the firewall, right near the alternator.

Is it possible that water is being blown in from the AC from a 1995 Buick Skylark if the floor in front is getting wet without rain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

sounds like the drain on your ac evaporator core is plugged up. A service station should be able to blow this out.

I own a 97 Buick Skylark with this problem (saturated floors on passenger front and back) but the water does seem to accumulate more after during and after a rain.

Why is the engine running at a fast idle of 1800 to 2000 rpm warm or cold on a 1997 skylark?

It could be either the temperature control sensor to the computer, or the ambient air sensor.
