SOURCE: 91 LEGACY STARTED RUNNING ROUGH

The cylinders are numbered as on the spark pack you changed. You might have done better putting the seafoam in the tank as an injector cleaner. Not sure why you changed so many parts, you seem to know how to get the codes from test connector lead hookup and the blink pattern. You might also want to check the fuel rail pressure and the crank and cam angle sensors. Before replacing the injector, swap the #4 injector with the adjacent one and see it the code moves with the injector or stays put. If the code stays on #4, then check the injector wiring, if it moves clean or replace the injector.

Check ecm for number 1228253. If it has this one in it you will have a cutting off problem. Gm replaced these with #16198264 The cam sensor magnet on the cam gear will deteriorate and give problems. This will require removal of the timing cover.

did you replace only one spark plug? that can cause issues because of differences in resistances between cylinders. also, did the map code stay off after replacing

My 1996 Buick Skylark Custom 2.4L Twin Cam engine shakes and rides rough what could be the problem. New Bwd sensor,coil pack and module,and Spark plugs.

Jodesha, Should have scanned for diagnostic codes, have engine and transmission mounts checked. Check for vacuum leaks and or injectors could be a problem.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides on diagnosing rough running engine. Good luck

I have a 93 Buick Skylark GS 3300 Engine Series and my car is cranking but not firing. Diagnostic scan turned up a DTC42 code-spark timing error. The spark plugs are not firing. Replaced crankshaft sensor...

think a timing belt slippage or camshaft position sensor,
deffiantly something there to take a deeper look at.
double check the cams and their alighnment marks that they alighn with TDC if out of sync. nothing will fire right,the coil pack has no ides where anything is for some reason,good luck with this one,Gary

Ok i recently changed spark plugs on my 1994 buick skylark. when i was done changing plugs i started car up and smelled strong exhaust smell. so i checked the plugs wires and found out that when i pulled...

Did you mean coil the 1994 3.1 did not use a distributor , sounds like a bad coil pack and cylinders #3 and #6 do use the same coil. I would also check 3 and 6 plug wires this system is a waste spark design meaning when # 3 coil fires it is supposed to go through #3 plug wire , through #3 plug ( ground) through the engine block through the #6 plug then through the #6 wire then back to the coil, Then when #6 fires it works the opposite way, so in theory you could have one bad wire affecting 2 cylinders .....

I have a 1995 buick lesabre and i changed control module,position sensor,cam sensor and computer. car stop and will turn but want start. when i first bought car it had this vibration on take off but never...

Are you getting gas and spark to the cylinders?

If you add gas to the throttle body, does it start?
If so, then you have a fuel pump delivery problem in this vehicle.

If it doesn't start, then you may have a spark problem at the spark plugs due to a coil pack going bad or a module (but you said you changed the module).

Also, is this a 1995 Buick LeSabre of a 1993 Buick Skylark (which it is listed under)? What engine size is this?
