Re: 1998 Buick LeSabre

Well friends I am ay a loss now. Completed the leak down test today. I have a very faint sound from the oil filler neck and dip stick. No sound from the exhaust or throttle.

Could it just be a faulty light? Someone told me if it is picking up in the computer, it has to be electrical.

I don't feel a miss at all although I do get vibration in the sterring wheel when I am sitting at idle and the engine is in gear. If I put the engine in park, the virbration goes away.

I do know that the engine was replaced prior to my buying the car with a lower milage engine. The car has over 200,000 miles on it. The enigie in it now has 70,000 but they used the heads off of the engine with 200,000 miles because the engine they bought was involved in an electrical fire and the heads were destroyed. The engine with 200,000 miles on it locked up. Is it possible that the old engine locked up on number one cylinder and the code is locked in the computer and is showing up since it is in the computer? I had autozone erase the code and it keeps coming back. I was told the computer needed swiped to clear the code entirely.

Any ideas????
