Consumer Description

2002 BUICK LESABRE 3.8 L ENGINE WOULD BE HARD TO START AFTER IT WAS DRIVEN AND RESTARTED AFTER 15 MINUTES (OR MORE) OF BEING OFF. THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS TO WAIT FOR .5 HOURS BEFORE IT WILL START. THIS HAPPENED A YEAR AGO ALSO. I HAVE CHECKED THE MAF SENSOR. THE CAR HAS ALSO STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. IF I WAIT FOR 3 MINUTES TO RESTART AFTER STALLING IT WILL RESTART AND USUALLY GO LONG DISTANCES 100 MILES WITHOUT FAILURE. *TR
