Your starter or the starter solenoid on top of the starter is bad. Take the starter to any auto parts store like Chief's/NAPA/Schuck's/Kragen....they will check it for FREE!!!

FREE IS ALWAYS GOOD!!!

jmeyer847 cutting a key without the resistance value of the old key will give u a crank no start, julesh99 The key blanks for your car are about $20, in 99 they started using a different system, those are around $40

Sensor string may have a bad sensor, the mass airflow meter may need cleaning. Fuel pressure may too low. Run a diagnostic test to find the offending part.

check for failed rear suspension points and rubbers . check for loose rims

the fuel pump is located in the trunk under the mat directly behinde the seat take the cover off (it will be a round siver cover) it will have a clamp holding the fuel pump down and a quick wire connect on top. remove the quick connect and the clamp rings. remove the pump and replace with new one

This is very common on these regals, the unit needs replacing, note if you get a used one make sure theyn will get you another one if its bad, i have replaced many, so far got one bad unit, drivers info center. hope this is helpful good day.

Most likely cause is an ABS sensor fault, get the codes read, once you have them post them here & I can help you further

the radiator fans use a fuse,relay,temperature sensor which the computer controls to turn on the fans at the specified temperature.you don`t say if this problem occurred when the blower motor fan fuse was removed.it is not uncommon for the rad cooling fans to seize and not work,the blower motor uses an electronic resistor block on the air box under the hood with i think about 6 wires in the plug and is about 3.5"long and 1"wide.held by 2 bolts(screws).this is feed power all the time and when the control switch is turned for different fan speeds the switch grounds the circuit.at times the resistor shorts causing the fan to run continually.i think you need a new resistor to fix this problem.

You can try an inexpensive fix. Remove the instrument cluster, you should see four resistors in an area of the board that in a 1997 should be cold solder jointed. Re-solder or replace them and it should come right back in. This is a well known problem with older Buick, olds and gm

does it only do it when the low coolant light is on thats gonna have to be traced to find it since its not throwing a code it can be in the wireing not the starter the starter only starts the car after that it has no use other then starting the car it wont shut your car off the starter nowhat type of work have you done to the car in the past and what type of work has been done to it when it dies does it die in gear while driveing does it spit and sputter before dieing does it start right back up afterwards fuel pump starting to go bad clogged fuel filter the coolant light comes on if your low in coolant your car wont give you a trouble code unless your check engine light is on thats why your not gonna get a code

you will need a new computer

Please check your engine oil- hope the oil change was done recently , if not check the quality of the oil, it can be reduced oil pressure at high RPM that the oil pump is not working well due to a clogged oil filter.
Secondly check the fuel settings and firing timings.

I would diffidently test it even new thermostats are defective ,, Boil some water get some string and lower the thermostat in measure the temperature to what the thermostat is set for ,,,if it opens at that temp your good if not get another.

I am assuming you are talking about the blower motor , in the old days it was a resistor module that would go bad but on your buick its called an electronic blower control module and is mounted right by the blower motor under the passenger side dash.

I had the exact same problem and after changing all the sensors in the engine it still didnt fix the problem So i focused on the fuel system and did a fuel pressure test and found that my fuel pressure regulator was the problem. I found this to be a common problem and if you dont have any check engine lights on then i would go this route the price of the regulator ranges anywhere from 45-95 dollars depending where you buy it.
