Check engine light comes on on 1995 buick lesabre

I have a 1995 Lesabre with about 95K miles. Up until now, it has been bullet proof. Today the check engine light came on and shortly after the cruise control quit working.

After I stopped for gas and a burger, I started out on the highway and the check engine light was off and the cruise control worked.

After about 10 min. the check engine light came on and the cruise control quit working.. also the engine did not seem to have the pickup it once did.

When I got home I tried to run my OBD engine decoder on it and it would not give a reading.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Don

If it has the 3.8, it could be your plenum that is going out. the 3.8 is bullet proof, but this always goes out at around 100,000 miles. the plenum is also called the lower intake. but as for the cruise control, it could be because the engine is not running right.

My 1995 buick lesabre check engine light is on

Take it to a real mechanic, not the phoney physics at the zone. The speed sensor will not respond if the car is not moving. May be an air flow sensor. They will go bad if it has ever been wet. They can be checked with a scan tool.

1995 Buick Lesabre: security blinks and car will not start

If the starter is turning the engine, try re-setting the security system (leave key on till light stops blinking.) If the starter does not turn, you may have some success in re-setting system, if not you need to check battery voltage and voltages in starter system till you find the problem...can be something as simple as a bad connection at the battery. If you need help with further testing, just ask.

1995 Buick LeSabre - Stalls then restarts while driving

Has the fuel filter been chg. lately. If it has, maybe a fuel pressure test is in order. Fuel pump might be geeting weak and does not show up until it gets warmed up. Fuel pumps are a common problem on this type of cars.
