My 1990 Buick Park Avenue dies after 15 miles

My 1990 Buick Park Avenue will start and run great for about 15 miles. At that point the motor dies, and the Temp light comes on. Can you provide advice on the problem?

Replace the crank sensor as they get hot they will sometimes quit working. The temp light comes on everytime the engine is turned off and the switch is on. Next time it dies spray or pour some water on the sensor then see if it will crank and if it does you know what it is.

Check for the number 1228253 on the ecm. If it's on there replace it as they will cause a cutting off problem. You may trying a new crank sensor too.

I own a Buick Park Avenue 1990 3.8L Heater
your heater sounds like the blower motor is bad!! and for your starter!! I would say take your old starter off and take it to auto zone or advance and have them test it for free!! sounds like the solenoid or the bendix is going bad

They run about $150.
