Question about 1993 Buick LeSabre

A friend of mine has a 1993 Buick Skylark with the V6 will not start half the time

I had a friend of mine that had a 93 Skylark with the V6 in it, he is reporting a trouble wear only half the time it will start after turning the key on the car,all lights and power seem to be working fine with the key turned and this only happend in the after noon when its hot out side and the car is reported by him to start just fine first thing in the morning. any ideas wear to look, I am thinking it could be the starter. the engine was replaced about two years ago and the troule started just after replacing the engine.

Okay, the cylinode on my starter broke off! I got the car home and of course it wouldn't start, but the dash lights would come on and seatbelt warning would ding. My husband took the starter off and then it got dark so he was left it for the morning. The hood was open all night and the battery was unhooked all night. The next morning he put the new starter in (from Auto zone) and tried to start the car, no there are no dash lights or anything. He says it's all hooked up properly and he doesn't know what the problem is. He says that the battery has juice in it. What could be wrong? He says he checked the fuses and they're okay too. :o(

More likley than not your plugs have to be changed, unless, they were cleaned with a spark plug sandblaster. The fouled out part of the plugs hides deep within the insulator chamber and cannot be cleaned without sandblasting. Therefore the spark, instead of tipping off at the electrode, tries to climb into the insulator chamber leaving a very weak spark. P.S. while changing the plugs, turn the engine over without them in to clear the cylinders. Thanks, Dana
