Sounds like the relay in the starting motor circuit has failed, or a starting motor/solenoid problem - have them checked. This can also be caused by a problem in the ignition switch.

My 1989 buick electra cranks but doesnt start and also I have no communication with car so unable to retrieve codes for what's wrong with it??

For an engine to run you need 3 things:

1) Fuel

2) ignition

3) Air

One or more of these are missing, find which it is and you will be mobile again.

1997 buick park ave.wont turn over. battery ran down,tried to jump start it,Got the same results,key turns,everything lites up,the panel info reading 12.9 volts,It doesnt even click.

Try an put the gear selector in neutral , could be a park neutral safety switch problem . If that doesn't do it ,maybe the starter relay .Do you know how to test electrical circuits with a voltmeter ? Voltage drop test the starter main battery cable .

1993 lumina sedan wont start pror to going dead that day lady said it was hard to start. thinking its a bad battery car wont start with a jump has power for radio and dime lights doesnt even click when key...

first of all. check voltage at battery with engine off. it should be at least 12.6 volts or better,less then 12 volts battery is bad. when running if alternator is ok. it should read at least 14.1 to 14.7 with accesories off. if less than 14 volts alternator is bad. make sure battery posts and cable clamps are clean and tight. also check the cable to starter for corrosion. if all is ok, then the starter or solinoid is bad. check fuses first !

Why wont my car start even after i tried the security reset. i turned key to on position for 10 minutes turned it off then tried to start it 3 times. security light still flashes

turn the key on and wait till the security light stops flashing ( this could take as long as 30 minuets ) then turn the key off then back on but do not try to start the engine and wait till the security light stops flashing ( again this could take as long as 30 minuets ) then turn key off then turn key on and start engine.

I have a Buick Electra 225 with the 430-4 engine.

Simply this is a breather hose
Any good parts store should be able to get you one
Maybe not the chain stores but a good NAPA or other home owned stores
