1995 Buick stopped running.

Question

My son said his car died while he was driving he stopped and restarted the car and drove it home I went out and started it and it ran for about 5 to 10 seconds and quit running I tried to restart but it wouldn't crank over the battery is new and so is the alternator.

Answer 1

crank sensor likely

Answer 2

sounds like fuel pump bad to me

Answer 3

If you have power to lights , horn ect. and starter does not enguage. Starter or neutral switch are most likely faulty. however if no power to lights ect, check batt. connectons and ground to engine block. Have a great one!! Jake.

Answer 4

Try starting it in Neutral.. move the gear selector, from and band back to park and try.  Could be bad neutral switch. as for stalling while running, with out knowing a code or more info, such as engine size, car model.. the possibilties are pretty numerous

Answer 5

could be the neutrel safety switch.That will prevent it from running or starting.The NSS keeps the car from cranking or starting if it's not in park or neutral.However,if the switch is malfunctioning,then it will think the car is in gear,and it won't start,even though the transmission IS in park.
