SOURCE: 2003 rendezvous..ticking on cold start

I have had the same thing on my rendezvous the entire time I have owned it (at 82k right now). It has caused no problems for me, yet... and the dealer has told me that it is nothing.

SOURCE: 2001 aztek misfire ad stalls when gas is given

before you spend anymore have it hooked up to a real time engine analyser like a bdm pro, or a snapon scanner, take it for a drive and snapshoot scanner when the problem arises, could be a sensor like tps or an actuator, but will not register a code, just a flag

SOURCE: MY 2006 BUICK RENDEZVOUS WILL

clean the throttle body and the Iac (Idle Air Control). computer monitors the amount of air comming in the engine, and dirty sensors will affect this reading. these sensors are needed to tell the computer how much fuel is needed.

SOURCE: have to mash gas pedal on 2007 buick rendezvous to crank, after starting it will idle fine but sometimes die for no apparent reason, what would cause this?

Test your fuel pressure for leak down while sitting.. It should hold 52-59 psi... If not it could be a weak fuel pump..Also test the fuel pressure regulator to see if its leaking gas into the vacuum lines.. Alot of times you can do this by running the vehicle then leaving it set for 45 min and then removing the vacuum line at the fuel regulator and checking for wetness... If its wet with fuel its leaking and needs replaced..

How many gas miles left in Buick Rendezvous clx 2006 when gas lights say empty

At best there is 1 gallon or so left. So get has a.s.a.p. it is not good to run any GM vehicle under 1/4 tank as the fuel actually helps cool the fuel pump. Constantly running it to empty will shorten the life span of the fuel pumo

Change oil light on

depending on if your buick has the DIC option, it could be 1 of 2 ways.

  1. Turn key to accessory (key on , engine off)
  2. depress mode button on the DIC display til you see "oil life left/hold to reset
  3. Hold set button down till it says 100%
  4. listen for 3 chimes
  5. start car and see if its reset, if not, it wasn't reset, repeat steps 1-4.
If you don't have the DIC option, then:
  1. Turn key to the "key on, engine off" position
  2. Depress gas pedal to floor slowly 3 times, make sure you get the 3 presses to the floor within 5 seconds.
  3. turn key off.
  4. see if the light goes off.. if not, repeat the steps 1-3

I starts only with starting fluid and it dies after 3 seconds

Check by the fuel tank


Have someone turn the key on
& listen for fuel pump

Put a pressure gauge on the motor
at fuel rail & check pressure

Pump only runs for 3 sec, if you got no crank signal
or it fails to start

Have to cycle key
