96 Riviera.. just replaced blower coupler, fuel pump and fuel filter now acts like it's hitting the rev limiter at 3800 rpm...

Hello. It seems your Buick's engine is 'flooded' with gas in one or more cylinders. This will cause the engine to 'race' because of a fire in one or more cylinders. The engine gets to high rpm and stays there; this is not good! Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

How do I fix the fuel gauge sending unit on my 96 Buick Riviera?

Hello. Your fuel pump assembly has to be replaced. The float level assembly is 'crimped' onto the main fuel 'body'; making it nearly impossible to just buy another 'float' and install it. Another scenario is it could be an 'issue' with the ECM/PCM. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

My 1996 Buick Riviera has a Traction, security

gear position indicator will start blinking a code(?) You may think it's blinking a code , but it's not . Doesn't have the capability to do that . Traction, security light on - take it and have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes checked . Sounds like you have insturment cluster problem , Without testing anything that would be a guess . Take it to a qualifieed repair shop an have it diagnosed .
