Well it seems it was the cam sensor. The "key" on the ring inside was broken and it was floating around in there. I didn't get a chance to road-test it tonight, but it started right up. :biggrin:

Battery is a year or two and cranks the car solid, immediately. Alternator is original with 25K miles. Voltage is OK at idle but just to be sure I will check the DS again to see what it was before the stall. When it stalls it starts right back up again though. thanks and keep'm coming

This is aggravating me for several weeks...basically since it got very hot outside. 87 TB On cold start it gives me trouble: starts right away but very ugly stumbling idle for a minute or so, then it settles right down to normal. I drive away and everything seems fine. As it's...

"Bonus" additional entry

The Procrastinator arrives....I'm in :wink:

Now it's $4 a gallon for the meth and the 5 gallon pail costs $10. It's actually pretty easy to get to/from I-80.

Nope this started as a seemingly simple job to replace the bushing up where the intermediate shaft connects to the column. It has a little play in it which actually may be normal but I figured for an hours work I would change it.

That helps alot Cory thanks. Now I'm glad I didn't try to force it out. Sending you a quick PM. Thanks, Mike

I'm looking to replace the bearing up by the steering column shaft.

Update- I removed the retainer(black) and retainer clip, leaving the bearing adapter(white) floating inside the housing (not easily visible in picture). There didn't appear to be any wear on the bearing adapter yet there was a little play so I removed the adapter and gently clamped on the...

From the Buick service manual procedure, it would seem very easy to remove the intermediate steering shaft (between the column and the box). Unfortunately mine is not working out that way. :frown: Has anyone done this before and tell me how they did it? TIA! Mike

ttt anyone? Bueller? :smile:

Had to shrink the pic....

I have a very minor clunking feel in my steering wheel, particularly as I cross center on the wheel. When I shake the (intermediate?) shaft in the engine comparment right by the D/S heads I get a corresponding clunk at the retainer area just outside the firewall. See pic. The lower bearing...
