Mine did the same thing. After checking and/or replacing all the suspected fuel and electronic parts I was getting frustrated. I finally found that the insulation had melted on the hot wire from the battery to the starter. Under acceleration the motor torqued over just enough to touch the...

Congratulations! Looks like you picked a nice one.

Going great. Finishing up a project in Cedar Rapids, IA in two weeks. Then going to spend about a month at home. Hopefully it will have cooled off by that time (maybe get some good turbo weather). I decided to keep my car. Just can't let it go. By the way, I saw the Mustang. Love it.

Underage Driver Strikes Child, Totals ’87 Buick Grand National - StreetLegalTV.com Didn't know if you saw this. I noticed it was from over in your neck of the woods. Neil

Thanks. The car does have a line lock. That's probably it. I will trace it down when I get home in a few weeks.

I was under the dash of my car and saw this red light mounted under there. I was on my way out of town for a few weeks and didn't have time to trace it down. Can anyone identify it? It doesn't look stock to me.

Thanks for the quick reply. I agree it does spool fast. Night and day compared to stock chip. The only mods are fuel pump, hotwire kit, exhaust and adjustable regulator. I think I will keep the Bowling Green until I do more upgrades. At what point in the upgrades should I get a Turbo Tweak?

I just bought another GN with a chip that has "sp10" handwritten on it. Anybody know what brand of chip this would be? It has no other markings on it that I can see. I know it is not stock because it wakes the car up a bunch on the low end compared to the stock chip that also came with the car.

Thanks for the help!

Same stock radio problem here.

I am looking at a 1991 GMC Syclone. I think it would look good next to the GN. I would like to get opinions on the value and whether or not they will hold their value. Even though they are real fast and rarer than GN's they don't seem to bring as much money. I am also interested in hearing...

I looked at one a couple of weeks ago at Barker Auto Sales on 70th Street in Shreveport. He was asking $10,900. I was told he came down to $9500 for somebody else. I can't remember the miles. I wasn't looking at it for me. I do remember the car started and ran very well. A/C blew cold. Interior...

Looking for a GN dash plaque with no dents shipped to Louisiana (zip 71055) Also need a 1986 power seat transmission and a console with no cracks. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I love the way Buick guys help each other. Hate to hear about the motor problems. It sucks having a car you can't drive. I've been there. My 3.8 is a little tired. I dropped off a 4.1 and some heads to the motor shop today. We'll see how that turns out. I know I will...

Thanks. I'll do that. Glad to be here.

Hey Guys- Glad to finally have my own Grand National. I bought one in June while working in Washington State. Two weeks ago I bought another '86 that was nicer and sold the first one. I've loved these cars since I was a teenager. I was pressing my nose to the window of the Buick dealership...
