Ok so my 3.8 Buick has been playing up, not idling, hard to start etc. my first thought was CAS so I ordered one. Got busy this morning & installed a new CAS, timing cover seal ( while the Harmonic balancer was off) an IAC, (just in case) & I cleaned the throttle body to as new again. I hit the key expecting the purr of the V6, but nothing, It wound & wound & flatly refuses to even try to fire! I even put another coil pack on in case it was dodgy but still nothing. I checked the engine bay main fuse & changed the relays but still nothing. I did spray a bit of degreaser in the intake to clean the carbon off but that shouldn’t make it refuse to start. It smells fuelly after winding it over, like it’s flooded.
So anyone wanna have a stab at what’s going on here???
Cheers.........Pete!
