Help, please! I have a 1984 Buick Century that will not ...


Sent to Car Experts November 19, 2005 3:34 p.m.
Help, please! I have a 1984 Buick Century that will not start at all. I just bought it about 3 months ago and ran it around town some...I never took it far because occasionally an oil light would come on and sometimes a check engine light. One day a radiator hose blew and spewed antifreeze all over everything. We repaired that and I continued to run it some. One day I backed it up our driveway and it stopped abruptly with a shudder and would not start back up. My husband replaced the coil, distributor cap and rotor and electronic ignition thinking they may have gotten damp. He also replaced 3 of its 6 spark plugs (3 liter engine) as he could not reach the last 3 without a special tool. Still nothing. It cranks really fast and sometimes has a slight buck to it...its getting fire and gasoline but refuses to start. What can the problem be? Thank you. Belva
