Engine shutter help
#1
*from this topic https://www.buickforum.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1517moved by SJ out respect for the original author.*
hey guys,
The original post made by scaryslow describes to the letter what my 94 LaSabre is doing doing to the letter. I have replaced the plugs, wires,coil packs and the front axles in an attempt to make the shuttering go away. It still ides slightly rougher then it should and after the replaced the coil packs it got a little better, it is still shuttering. I would greatly appreciate any other ideas from guys that know these cars better then i do. I really cannot afford to keep throwing parts at this car till i eventually find the problem or rebuild it (lol).
Thanx for you ideas

Sorry for those who might not know this was the original post by by scaryslow I was referring to:
994 BuickLeSabre V6 3.8 liters</span>
</span>
</span>When increasing speed the car starts shuttering. A type of shaking caused by the engine suddenly not running smoothly. </span>This
occurs most noticeably at about 50 to 70 miles per hour. ( I don't hit
speeds higher than that). But I have noticed the effect at lower speeds
also.</span>
</span>
The car shutters the most when you ask for a small increase in speed or when you try to maintain speed while going up an incline. </span>It occurs when you give it just enough gas to keep up the current speed, especially if the road is level or inclined.</span>
</span>
Now,
a most interesting thing is, if you give it enough gas, like if you’re
going to pass someone, it drops a gear or changes the sound to that effect, and sounds great as it quickly accelerates.</span>
If you ask for stronger acceleration it works and sounds and feels fine. </span>But ask for slight acceleration, and you feel and hear the stammering.</span>
</span>
The car idles just a little rough in park, but sounds pretty smooth in neutral. It drives pretty nice other than this.</span>
</span>This appears to be a pretty common problem as I have been thumbing through the forums looking for clues. But I haven't seen anyone post after the fact to say what the fix for ":their" problem was....plz help</span>
</span>thanx
