The visor light fuse, for your 2004 Buick Rainer CX L V8, can be located in the fuse box on the bottom right. On the inside of the fuse box lid should be a diagram.

talk with the bank in which you have the car loan through about deferring your curent months payment due to car repairs.

I believe its 300hp with 380fpt. Just like a 67 camaro running a 350 SBC and thm350 transmission

No, They were discontinued a few years ago. Go to the following web site to see the current models. The Lucerne appears to be the top of the line.

The timing for this type of distributor is set by rotating the entire distributor, not just the cap. The distributor should have a lock down bolt holding it down where it sets in a housing. With the engine NOT running, mark the original position of the distributor with a marker or some white paint. Then you loosten the hold down bolt a little, then see if you can turn the entire distribuor very slowly just a little bit. If it turns a little, then you can hook up your timing light paying attention to the cautions and warnings in the instructions for the timing light or the auto manual being used to set the timing. You start the engine, and slowly turn the entire distributor left or right until the desired timing is reached. Turn off the engine, then tighten the distributor back down.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell!

The 2013 Buick LaCrosse has a 4 yr./ 50000 mi. basic warranty.

Swap it with another like relay.

it means that one of the abs sensors is not responding. all regular brakes work fine, you may or may not still have abs.

The power steering box is on the right side behind the motor close to the finder wall. Get a flash light and look behind the motor and don't try to reach it while the motor is hot.

most common place for fuse box location on your car would be under dash on driver side, there is however additional fuse / relay box on passenger side uder dash not as easy to get at , you will have to remove the sound proofing barrier to get at it .

EPA rating is 18 city/26 hwy.

The overdrive is before the drive because as you ordinarly drive down the road your car automaticaly goes into overdive when you reach a certain speed. You use drive only when you are pulling a trailer or going up a large hill so it won't go into overdrive and put undo work on the transmission or motor. It is also a gas saving factor.

One of the main causes for a 1998 Buick LeSabre to die while driving is a problem with the computer. The computer might tell the fuel pump to shut off and stop sending fuel to the motor.

Check the back of the car.

Its located behind the dash on the passenger's side.

For the 3800 the pan bolts should be torqed to 120 IN pounds in accordance with the GM shop maintenance CD-Rom's. Use the felpro higher priced gasket to avoid a repeat oil leak. The factory ones will leak like the cheap felpros.

do you have to remove lifters on heads in order to replace gaskets? No only the puch rods if it is a non overhead cam engine,

Remove the bezel around the door handle (pops out) disconnect power lock connector

Remove the power window switch (pry up towards front then slide towards front) disconnect connector

Remove reflector (pops out) remove 7mm nut

Stick fingers between door and panel and pop the push pins out, do not go go crazy here as you will break the door panel handle retainers.

Lift up on the panel, you will see a metal bracket that slides into two black plastic retainers if you are looking through the power window switch hole.

Disconnect speaker wires

Once panel is off, push in on the metal spring clips holding the black plastic boxes and slide off, re-attach to metal bracket on door panel(makes install easier) Install is reverse Hope this helps

I bought a used 2000 Buick LaSabre and almost immediately dropped another $400+ for a driver's side window regulator (installed). I contacted the original owner who stated he had to replace the rider's side regulator at the dealer's service dept for over $500. I did some after the fact investigation on the net and found that there are many Buick owners having the same problem with window regulators. I've got my old regulator with a good motor and will redesign the sucker to work without having to replace it every year or so, but it would be good to have the removal instructions for the door panel so I won't tear it up trying to get to the regulator. Any help or direction to info would be appreciated. Thanks

Buick isn't sold in Dubai.

It's almost impossible to tell just from how engine is working. Unless you have hesitation, car lacks power and efficiency is low. And of course if you have EGR error code(s). In order to test EGR you need to have a small vacuum hand pump. Then you need to apply vacuum to the EGR system and see how it responses. Also, sometime EGR valve just needs to be cleaned. For the you need to remove the valve and check on presence of carbon deposits. Also if the valve itself cannot be moved freely, it might have to be replaced.

The hoses around EGR system have to be checked on cracks, and replaced if cracks are present.

EGR vacuum switching valve usually does not break. But EGR valve get very dirty time to time and has to be cleaned or replaced.

1960's had about 300hp

1970-73 had about 300-330hp

1974-76 had about 250-200

1977-81 had about 200-175

1982-84 had about 200-150

all this is depending on what bolt on's you have (Headers, intake, carbrator etc..). If its a stock 350 then it has lower horsepeower because of the years. If it's rebuilt and tuned properly it'll be higher

If you have bored the engine out then it would become a 355 or 383 with a stroker kit. Which results in alot high performance.

I have a 1977 350 which only made about 175 on the dyno when I bought it. I have since then rebuilt it. I bored out .030 (355) added a new crankshaft and new camshaft and lifters from Edelbrock, aluminum heads from Dart, Long tube headers from Hooker, tunnel ram from Weiand, dual Holley 600cfm carbs, and a new oil pan from Moroso.

Added up all I am making well 569 horsepower with this set up.
