My friend "Kris" has a 1990 Buick Lesabre will not idle at low rpm's and stalls, backfires while starting, it will not stay running. I told her how great you were, when you helped me with my Taurus problem last summer.
She has been told it is the CRANK POSITION SENSOR, but since it is so old she CAN NOT GET A DIAGONIC TEST AT LIKE AUTOZONE, so she is unsure. What else could it be or what and how can she CHECK it out or have it checked out?
Remember 'I AM JUST A GIRL, and SO IS MY FRIEND'
THANKS
