SOURCE: 2000 Buick Custom - no response on inital start

that sounds like its the ignitionswitch is going bad on the car or its the ignition its self. it could also be a loose wire going to your starter.

SOURCE: Buick park avenue engine start problem

Try replacing the coolant control temp sensor, the one to the computer (usually it will have two wires), not the sensor to the temp light or gauge (usually has only one wire).

My 2003 Buick century will only start in neutral

Try keeping key turned to start while moving shifting lever back and between reverse and park. If it almost tries to start the problem is probably the neutral safety switch. Even If it does not it still maybe the switch.

2003 buick century won't start -replaced battery, no clicking noise

Check for power on the large wire at the starter. There should be power all the time. Check for power on the small wi at the starter. There should be power with the key in the crank position. If both of the above are true than the starter is likely bad.

Why does 2003 buick century erraticlly idle in park. idles great in drive

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

2003 buick century will not always have power, no lights, radio etc.

It could be the battery cables because they can build up acid inside the wire causing problems.The next time it does this take a hammer and tap on the center of the starter housing it could be the bendix bad in the starter.

My 1999 Buick Park Ave started hesitating and the CEL would flash. I would back off the accelerator and it would smooth out and the light would go off. About a month ago the car died while I was driving it...

Have you tried the reset method? Turn key to the ON position and leave it there for 10 minutes, or until the security light goes off. Then turn key to off, and back to on and start-see if it starts after letting it sit for a few minutes like that with the key in the on position.
