Throttle position sensor? Or there might be a film build up on the throttle plate itself. It won't close all the way then. Take the rubber tube off between the air filter box and intake, clean it off with carb cleaner.

    Cold starts fine but after driving even a few minutes and shutting off it may or may not restart right away. If I wait 4 or 5 minutes it will restart again. It just turns over without firing off.

  • Is the fan supposed to shut off immediately after turning the car off on a 1994 Buick LaSabre? 1 Answer

    The fan in the car only comes on when you turn the air conditioner on. I thought the fan should stay on for a short time after shutting the car off.
