My car shuts off sometimes when I'm driving....and it won't start back up right away. It takes between 30mins to an hour or more..

Asked by Sheron Mar 20, 2015 at 01:57 AM about the 1995 Buick Park Avenue FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

This has been going on for a few weeks
now. We have changed all the Spark plugs
and Wires. The battery is good. I just got a
Altanator put on yesterday matter of fact.
Oil changed a few weeks ago...I also
switched out my ECM a few months ago.
But I'm thinking that may be it along with
something else. Because I think my Uncle
got it from the Junk Yard.  I have a 1995
Buick Park Avenue....140,000miles
