No overdrive, no cruise

1992 Buick Park Avenue Ultra Supercharged 3.8L OBD I system. SES light on, but no ck engine light. Speedo works, so I dont suspect VSS. Excel. throttle response, so dont suspect vacuum leak. Temp sensor ok, TPS ok...at least no codes to suggest any of these. When car is in third at about 45, if I ease up on gas pedal, tach goes down to 1500 to suggest third gear solinoid working...just no TCC.

Any Ideas? Thks......PHB

    Hmmm....That hose is at least 3/16ths of an inch thick, and very pliable. Im actually pretty impressed with the hose...not what I expected....I will, however take another look at it. Have you seen these hoses crack as if maybe...a manufacturer's flaw?
    Thanks for the response.....PHB

I have a 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra, Supercharged.

Question edited for typos and add some spaces..
Question moved to model category.

You just fit a Bypass Pulley. This takes the place of the AC compressor, the belt and routing stay the same.

Can I put a 1997 3.8 non supercharged motor in a 1994 buick park avenue that had a non supercharged 3.8 motor in it

No. While the engine would probably bolt right in, there are two entirely different engine control systems for the two models. The '97 engine has OBD-II controls- more and different sensors and controllers, while the '94 engine has the less sophisticated OBD-1 system. They are not interchangeable. An engine from a '94 or '95 park avenue is your best choice. Any from 1996 onward is OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics, second generation).

1992 Buick Park Ave. Ultra TPS problem

The code indicates the TPS is still bad and the code is usually right, but it could be a wiring issue at the TPS connector or less likely a computer issue.
To test the TPS circuit, you need to check voltage and ground from the ECM - 5v is the normal reading between the ECM reference circuit and the ECM ground circuit at the TPS connector. Checking the TPS signal circuit to the ECM requires monitoring the TPS signal on a scan tool while jumping the 5v reference and the signal circuits. The TPS reading should go from high when the circuit is jumpered to low when the jumper is removed.

I have a 1995 Buick Park Ave Ultra. The car has power but will not turn over. I was told by one shop that it might be the V.A.T.S. system and by another that it is the IGNITION CONTROL MODULE.

Make sure the battery cables are clean and tight on the battery. Check to see if the wires to the starter are tight. Try starting it in neutral to make sure the safety switch is being make. Also hold it up into park and try.

Blower motor is good but blow

You have a problem with a baffle controller in the plentum(blower duct);
ck the heater fuses in the box under the driver dash and also ck the electronic control center box, (under hood I think) and look for a heater/blower relay and try to swap it with another relay that may be indentical just for test ;and replace as necessary. I think the baffle controls are electrical because they switch properly in my '91 without the motor running, ie, not vacuum controlled.
good luck.

94 Park Ave Ultra intermittent 'check engine soon light' comes on

It sounds like one of the ignition wires is breaking down or possibly a coil. Get a squirt bottle of water and spray a mist on the plug wires and coil to see if a spark starts to jump out. Probably just a bad plug wire.
