I have a 2004 Buick Century last winter it started to make some grinding noise on starts. My girlfriend who knows about cars says its either flywheel or the starter. I added Lucas transmission additive and it stopped the grinding noise. It’s been a year and the noise just started again. I want to add Lucas again and hope for the best but she refuse to drive the car thinking that the starter may die any time soon. Any idea what it may be?
SOURCE: transmission ?
The TCC solonoid is bad I have changed hundred of these there is a square coector of the front side of the transmission, this is the connector for the TCC ( torque converter Clutch) it has a tab lock put your finger nale under the tab or a smal screwdriver and lift gently and pull the connector off the car will now drive when you put it in gear but NOT have 4th gear and theck engine light may come on you should get this fixed as soon as possible you have to take off the side transmission cover the TCC is in there only buy one directly from the GM dealer no one else trust me on this, and also change te transmissin filter and gasket while your there.
if this information is good plese give me a fixya!
Thanks and if you need more help contact me but here look at my website go to the BLOG and FAQ you will see the TCC jobs I hve done and the outcome

Given the steps you have taken, only one of two things this can be is a resistive connection between the battery and the starter solenoid terminal. Or the battery itself has a bad internal connection. Bear in mind: you cannot crank the engine through the average set of jumper cables unless the battery in the dead vehicle will hold and deliver a good charge. Jumper cables are not really intended to start the car, they are for boosting the good, but low battery in the car being jumped.
SOURCE: car will not start
For clarification:
When you turn the key to start, the engine will not roll over?
When you turn the key to the run position, do you here the fuel pump prime, a humming noise from the gas tank?
Have you replaced any other electronic components, key cylinder, body control module?
Let me know.

my car is a 95 buick century. frequently when i stop and shut the car off , the next few minutes when i try to start it it won't start. i have battery power as far as the whir of the fuel pump, and lights, gauges come on but when i turn the switch it won't start. Is this the starter or ignition switch? After about 30 minutes or so, it will start again.

Hello, there can be a couple things that might be of concern. Is it the 3.4 or 3.8L engine? While driving, does it feel like the transmission is shifting properly? If it feels like it jerks after a slight delay, its poss it may have a Mass Air Flow sensor that is failing. This sometimes sets a code, turning the check engine light on. With the 3.4 engine, there are 2 sensors that control spark and fuel. The first is the camshaft sensor, located just below the power steering pump, and can cause this concern. There is also a crankshaft sensor that is behind the harmonic balancer, may be at fault. The 3.8 engine also has similar sensors that could be the problem. You described that after it cools slightly that it will restart. This is a fairly easy condition for a good repair shop to diag. They will need to hook up a scanner and let what we call a "Heat soak" the engine to duplicate your concern. When the engine stalls, they can run a couple test to isolate the concern. An easy fix or repair for a Reputable shop.
