Re: 94 Regal custom won't start
Here is the latest on my '96 3.8L Regal starting problem.
The Buick dealerdhip says oil has been leaking from the intake manifold onto the starter comutator or whatever where brushes pass current to the armature. The heat from the arching has baked and caked the oil there slowly causing poorer and poorer contact.
The Starter will be replaced, as will a leaky battery that has passed acid inside a battery cable so it, also, will be replaced. It seems when that battery was installed, the post was broken loose a bit. It is time for a new battery anyhow.
The repair of the oil leak (weep) will have to wait a bit.
