is the object in my attached photo the TPS connector? I ordered an AC Delco replacement one on rock auto and realized afterward the wire colors are different. I had a code 22 on my Scanmaster coupled with an erratic idle. I replaced the TPS itself set it to.42 and the car ran much better with...

i installed a new AC Delco TPS last week after my old one went bad. The car is running quite a bit better since it has been replaced. I set it at .40 at idle and 4.6 at WOT wither the engine off. With the engine on the TPS reads .42 at idle but momentarily jumps to .44 and back to .42. I don't...

My Gn has a consistent miss at idle and low speeds such as driving in my neighborhood or parking lots. The car burbles, pops, and lurches until it shifts into 2nd gear and then it runs fine. The exhaust smells terrible and I even noticed a twinge of fuel smell in my oil when changing it. The car...

Hey Everyone, I will be moving from Eastern New Mexico which is approximately 4500 Ft above sea level to the Gulf Coast and was wondering if there are any elevation change gotchas I should look out for? I would assume that since the GN is fuel injected I should have no issue as it will...

I tried to use the search function for this but kept getting errors so I apologize if there is already a post asking the same question. I will be re-locating to Hurlburt Field/Forth Walton beach later in the summer and was wondering if there are any good Buick specialists in Northwest Florida...

i have had a terrible clanking noise from the rear passenger side and found this metal piece floating around in my brake drum to be the culprit. Anyone know what it is? I have never messed with brakes before so bear with me if this is a dumb question.

My starter took a dump and I'm deciding if I should run to NAPA or buy the mini starter off of the Krban website. Looks like a lot of dudes switch to the mini starter over the stock one, is it really worth it?

Finally found time to troubleshoot the abysmal brakes on my 87 GN and came to the conclusion that the accumulator is shot. While the accumulator is an easy part to replace I realized I can purchase an entirely new vacuum system from Kirbans for only $200 more than the accumulator costs at NAPA...

I am in the middle of replacing a cracked thermostat housing and would like to put a new thermostat in while I have everything disasembled. I thought the thermostat would come out with the housing but it is stuck inside the block quite bad. I am reluctant to manhandle it out but that seems to be...

Hey everyone, I've had my GN out twice since I've got it and the reactions I get are pretty amusing. My one buddy at work proceeds to tell me he was feeling nostalgic because his grandma had a Regal "just like mine" when he was a kid. That was until I put the pedal to the floor and he was...

Noticed a coolant leak from what I thought was a loose hose. Upon cleaning the gunk from around the hose I found a decent sized crack in the manifold ( see attached photo). I was going to use jb weld to patch it up in order to get the car to the shop. Outside of general maintenance i haven't...

The Cig/clk fuse in my 87 GN keeps blowing even after disconnecting the lighter and radio as suggested on previous threads. Does anyone know of some other common culprits I can check out before giving in and paying the repair shop to check it out?

Just received some pics of my newly purchased GN from the wife ( deployed and haven't seen the car in person yet) and it looks like its in great shape. There are two areas surrounding the T-tops and front bumper that have some paint fading however. I would like to have these areas re-painted but...

Hey everyone, My name is Joe and my dream car has always been the GN. I almost purchased one as my first car back in high school but couldn't afford the asking price or numerous repairs that it needed. Finally 11 years later I found a GN in great condition and will have it sitting in my garage...
