I have a 1993 Buick Lesabre that stalls when the fuel level gets between 1/4 & 1/2 a tank. It only happens when I come to a stop, other than that, it runs fine. Changed the fuel filter, didn't help. It used to do this only when I got close to empty, but recently started while I still have over a qtr tank of gas.

It sounds to me as though your fuel tank needs to be flushed out. Even with a new fuel filter they can clog down enough to maintain flow but not have enough flow for your engine.

SOURCE: 2000 buick lesabre stall after starting or after running for 30 minutes

I have a 1996 Lesabre. I had a similar problem that slowly got worse. I brought it to two different mechanics that did diagnostic checks and could only "suggest" what to replace to fix the problem. Their problem was that it wouldnt stall out while they had the mv. After replacing a bunch of sensors and the fuel pump/ filter, I solved the problem by replacing the Crank Sensor. Its located behind the lower crank pulley on the 3.8 lt motor. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: Buick LeSabre left front window will not close

Don it. Good half day for amateur. Get Chilton 86-99 Bonneville, 88, Lesabre manuel.. Tricky to find bolts are under end flaps on door close handgrips. Took me a day to figure that one out. Others under light at lip of back of door. Book indicates to strart with window 3/4 up if you can. Flip up window control at rear of panel. After all screws are out raise outer edge of armrest and look for notches 4" and 11-1/2" from rear of armrest to slide inward to remove. There are screws under the door handle too. Screws everwhere. When pulling bottom of panel from door lift with a notched bar to avoid tearing the fasteners out of the cardboard panel. Two screws behind seatbelt notch at top need to come out to allow positioning the glass. The panel at the bottom of the top opening can be removed for more fredom in positioning the glass when reinserting the ball in the lower track on the window. Tape glass with duct tape to keep it from falling. Drill the factory rivets that hold the old regulator and I replaced with stove bolts with nylon locknuts slotted head to the inside the car. Can't remember the size, probably 1/4 or 3/16". Remove speaker if in front bottom of door to use your hand to do work in the door. You must twist the regulator forward with window 1/2 down to remove the ball from the socket in the bottom sliding metal track at the bottom of the window. Don't drop the window after removing the socket, tape it in place. Don't know what you do if you cannot move it to 1/2 up position. By the way, the body shops say you must use rivets, not screws or it will shift, but I have had no problems with the screws for reinstallation several years old. The rivet they use take a big hydraulic pop rivet gun that you won't have. Good luck, I don't envy you. Need to do other window on my 91. The window control may not be the same on the Custom, mine is the Ltd. you may be able to remove the motor from the regulator in the door without removing the regulator if you can figure out how to get the bolts that hold the moter to the regulator. inside the door.

SOURCE: 1995 Buick LeSabre - Stalls then restarts while driving

Has the fuel filter been chg. lately. If it has, maybe a fuel pressure test is in order. Fuel pump might be geeting weak and does not show up until it gets warmed up. Fuel pumps are a common problem on this type of cars.

SOURCE: 1993 buick lesabre won't start. security light is

The coded key probably needs to relearn. Turn ignition to crank and release. Let sit in on position (engine off of coarse) for a full 10 min. turn off for 30 sec. and repeat 3 times engine should start. This procedure should take 30 min. so a booster is needed to maintain a full 12 volts. Do not attempt w/out a charger connected;

I have a 1995 Buick LeSabre Limited and after using a fuel cleaner additive I have had the fuel filter changed twice in the past 4 months, it solves the problem of stalling and sputtering and now the...

you may have dirt in the fuel tank that has come loose after using the cleaner.you may have to have the fuel tank removed and cleaned as well as the fuel lines flushed out(blown out) to get all the dirt out of the system.when filling the tank you have induced fresh clean fuel that is pumped through the system before the level gets low enough that it starts pumping the dirt in the bottom of the tank,the fuel filter is located under the car on the passenger side along the frame rail ahead of the fuel tank.it is round in shape and about 3.5"long.you may need the injectors cleaned in case dirt has gotten that far.

Where is the fuel pump located on a 1993 Buick LeSabre

The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, through the top. You must remove the fuel tank first, then you can unlock and pull the fuel pump out of the top. This is the case for pretty much any car or truck made past 1985 that has fuel injection.

Buick lesabre stalling

run an inline fuel guage in the fuel line with a clear line, look for bubbles, do this witha an inline spark detector, that should tell you wether its fuel or spark shut down, either of these will not give you a code, i have spent many a day on intermittents, sometimes you just have to go back to baasics

When the fuel gets to 1/4 to 3/8 of a tank the gauge goes to full

The fuel level sensor in the tank has a break in the potentiometer (variable resistor) that tells it a wrong reading at a particular level.

1993 Buick LeSabre surges and almost dies intermittently

Check fuel rail pressure.

Add fuel to beyond 1/2 tank.

A weak fuel pump do not like to ran low on gas.


When was the last gas filter and fuel pump change?

90-120,000 miles is the typical change out.

Fuel pump like to quit on a HOT day.

Test the pressure and see is it within specification.


Good luck

95 buick stalled out on very hot day

could be another failed pump...it happens sometimes...check filter and test for pump operation...however best time to test is when it's in "no start" condition.(testing while working tells you it's working, not what's happening when it's not)
