Hi ,
I hope someone can help me . I have 1989 buick park ave 3800 motor . The car runs great until certain situations . If I sit too long in traffic or the motor gets hot the car starts to misfire and buck and stall. Then if I get moving and can get to a high speed it almost clears out still sputters a bit but then if I park and let it sit it will run fine unless I get into traffic or more heat . I have tuned it up , new crankshaft and camshaft sensor , New coil pack , new igniter . I have been told by people it may be a (fuel injector , poss. mass air flow sensor , computer, clogged cat ) ? I cant keep dumpin money in guessing what the prob is . Has anyone seen this before PLEASE HELP

Do you have any codes? Are both fans running when hot? Have you checked your fuel pressure and fuel filter? How about the CTS and coolant level?
