If you've checked your coolant and the gas is good it is likely the timing is off drastically and it needs fixed. I don't remember if that car has a chain or belt. I know most manufacturers change intervals on timing belts run from 60-90 thousand miles.Good luck those are nice cars when they are running well.

1998 buick lasabre changed plugs and wires when hit gas cuts in and out

I would try changing the fuel filter and/or pump. My brother had to take the exhaust system off the bottom of the car and then pull the gas tank to get to the fuel filter.

Hope this helps.

My problem was after I would drive the car and the engine would heat up. Once I parked and then tried to start it again while engine was still warm, it would not start. Strangely enough, a jump would solve the problem. But it happened over and over. Once we changed the fuel pump and filter, it never happened again. If you are under there replacing the fuel filter, I recommend changing the fuel pump as well. No sense in having to go through that awful hassle twice.

Location of EGR sensor

the EGR valve in your Buick LeSabre. The EGR valve is located on the driver's side of the engine bay, near the brake fluid reservoir. Since all EGR valves look basically the same, hope this helps

Look in the trunk to see if there is a round cover on the floor of the trunk. If there is then you'll have access to the sender. If not, then you'll have to drop the tank to get to it.
