97 park ave ultra is hesitatating when I start using the gas as I start an incline mostly but sometimes just randomly an it's getting worse

    Sounds like a ignition coil has gone bad. Buy one and try it in place of each of the three and test drive each time until you've found which one was bad. Recently worked on a 1998 Passat 1.8T with this problem, #2 was bad so swapped it with #4 and found it ran much much worse in that position and computer confirmed (via code scanner) that cylinder 4 was now misfiring instead of the previous cylinder 2 misfire. Those are a bit different, one coil per cylinder (4) whereas your Buick engine has 3, each firing two spark plugs at the same time. If you suspect bad plug wires, run the car at night and look for arching (blue or white) from plug wires to ground, accompanied by a popping sound. Also check your plugs to see if they are in good condition.

    WITH A FLASH LIGHT, check out your valcuum lines, exspecialy the one going to the fuel pressure regulator! The hoses may not be connected, have holes in them, or dry rooted. If you pull it and it break, replace.

SOURCE: 1999 Buick Park Ave Ultra Service Engine Light

The code PO742 indicates the torque converter clutch is stuck on.
The torque converter is what connects the engine to the transmission.
It engages and disengages according to signals from the pcm, to aid in
smooth shifting. There are a couple of things you can try. make sure trans. fluid is full, if thats ok check the 20 pin connector, located on left
side of car on top of transmission bell housing. Make sure there's no
corrosion or bent pins. If this clears the code your all set, if not you may
want to ask your mechanic and see what he/she recomends.
Hope this helps.
Good luck

97 98 buick park ave oil light blinks and stays on

The oil light is either a bad sensor or it's telling the truth that oil pressure is low. You can install a new sensor or hook up a mechanical gauge to find actual pressure. Cutting off can be caused by way too many things to list

97 Buick Park Ave. Non-Ultra. Mileage 200K. Was squeaking at morning cold start for about 5 to 10 min. Replaced Serpentine Belt, belt tensioner, alternator, and PCV Valve. STILL squeaking at cold start....

How's your engine coolant level? If you've got a water pump leaking coolant, your belt will squeak, as the pump will leak the coolant directly onto the belt. You'll see the spray pattern under the hood if it's been going on for a while.

I have a 89 buick park avenue ultra. my

the transmission breaking apart but in a really slow way. There's not a thing that can be done to save it. It's going to someday give out. You can prolong it by not punching on the pedal to test it. just drive it normally and DON"T get the trans oil change. Just leave it alone... I own 89 P/Ave 156,000 original owner. Same thing happened to my car and picked up a used trans at junk yard and my mechanic installed it and runs like a baby at half the price(700.00). If you go to junk yards half of the park ave are because of trans. Good luck
