Hello, it’s me again I’m still having trouble with my 1989 Buick LeSabre custom I was wondering if I should just replace every single sensor on the engine. I pretty much have a code for every single one, so would it be in the best interest to replace every single one?

@richardcarrillo843 Not doable on a series 2, which is what you have, due to the different way the belt it routed. You'd need to replace the AC compressor or put a pulley in place of it.

I used to own a 2003 Impala LS with that 3.8 Series II engine. The mass air flow sensor failed, and the check engine light never came on. When accelerating the engine was taking a holiday. It would cut off and on again. A friend of mine has a auto repair shop. He found the mass air flow sensor tested bad. A new one was installed, and it was a Delphi brand. When the engine ran with the new sensor in place the check engine light came on. He explained the system is set up to store data, and the light came on due to the old sensor not working, and the computer was behind in sending the data to the light. The codes were erased, and the light went off. It didn't come back on. I drove the car, and there was no pick up when you were accelerating. I took it back to my friend, and we disconnected the catalytic converter, and had all sorts of power. The catalytic converter had to be replaced. The Buick, GMC dealer said a malfunctioning mass air flow sensor will clog the converter. A new catalytic converter was installed, and the mass air flow sensor went out again about a year later. The second mass air flow sensor was a GM Goodwrench, and manufactured by Hitachi. The other sensors on the market are aftetmarket, and they say they are OEM quality. My mechanic said they are no good, and to stick with Genuine GM Parts on the sensors.

Tip: make sure you get the right backing plate! You will be able to get this base plate from any 93-95 Vin L " Tuned Port Injection " 3800. But you can also find this same baseplate on many 92-93 Grand Ams with the 3300 V6, Buick Century 89-93 3300 V6 (wagon included), Olds cutlass Ciera 89-93 with the 3300 V6 (wagon included), Buick Skylark 89-93 with the 3300V6, and Olds Achieva 92-93 with the 3300 V6. The base plate with the two mounting brackets on the right hand side will not work. The backing plate on the other Delco units (some series I included) will not work.

A shop wanted minimum 1 hr labor because it's a car older than 15 years old... $150 to repace this! Add in the cost of their ICM and it quickly turned into a $350 repair! I found on on Amazon (same one from Advanced) for $90... If it works out, I'll be needing another one for the 1989 Delta 88.

When u purchase a new engine control module, it comes with a white paiste that u smear on the ecm & u smear it on top of the ecm where the coil packs sit. I believe it is a heat dissapator. If you get that white paist, maybe the ecm will last longer?

@caayydenn 2 ай бұрын

@indymudshow It's highly unlikely to be anything internal to the engine due to the fact it's affecting all cylinders, unless of course it's knocking or ticking loudly. If you had a dead cylinder or something, it would only miss on the one cylinder and not the whole engine. Like I said, P0300 affects the entire engine. Live data from a scan tool can tell you a lot as well. If this issue presented itself out of nowhere, it's likely electrical, and most likely still an ICM failure.

One day my '02 died in my driveway. I did notice it running slightly rough on my way home the day before and these cars normally run so smooth you don't even know the engine is running. Anyway I first replaced my crankshaft position sensor, but she still had the crank no start. Some further troubleshooting indicated that my ignition control module (ICM) was bad. So I ordered a new one and my LeSabre was alive again. A new ICM was about $120.00 depending on the manufacturer. Great video and nice to see someone else appreciating and taking care of their LeSabre. They are great cars and cars like these will never be manufactured again. So the remaining fleet must be cared for.
