It's probably a bad Powertrain Control Module (Main Computer). This is a note from one of my previous posts;
Have you noticed the odometer display saying NO BU5? This actually means "no Bus", a communication term for a data route. It is saying that the dashboard sub-computer is not communicating with the main computer (PCM) which is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, bolted just above the wheel well area. Check the 3 connectors to see if they are plugged in all the way. If they are, your PCM is probably bad (mine lasted 90k miles). This is something you can't replace yourself because the new one must be programmed with the mileage and VIN and other info by MOPAR before it's installed. Be careful, because when the PCM fails, your money pit (Durango) will start to suddenly stall at the worst times (Freeway, Boat launch, stop light on a one lane road) and not restart until you disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect.
Good luck! The dealer charged me $800 to replace mine. $500 for the part and $300 to diagnose the problem. And I told them it was a bad PCM when I brought it in.
P.S. Even if it's not giving the odometer indication, suspect the PCM. I didn't notice the "NO BU5" indication right away when the thing would kill on the highway.
UPDATE: PCM's are now available on ebay, and they can be programmed by the seller. You'll save lots of money over the dealer.
No. It is illegal, will cause a check engine light and running problems.No. It is illegal, will cause a check engine light and running problems.
You've run out of fuel...
Any electronic failure in the restraint system.
The engine running will cause air to come out of a running engine. The Internal combustion engine sucks in air, mixes it with fuel, ignites it, and then blows the resulting gasses out. Also the fan in front of the radiator moves alot of air. So unless you are coasting down a hill with the engine off, it's supposed to be blowing air while you are driving.
A dead battery would not cause an engine to seize
It could be fuel pump, fuel filter or out of fuel. To be certain, you can always use a code scanner to see if there are any stored codes.
Yes the engine is sealed and in fact it has probably already fallen out on the highway or while driving. If it has not fallen out it is most likely wedged between the lower casings. Eitherway it will cause no problems.
There are several reasons that can cause your 1995 Buick Century to quit running. The most common reason is a lack of fuel. A bad fuel pump can cause the engine to quit running.
I use a scan tool after repairing the cause of the code.
no for sure not
Happened to me in a Ford, I guess it could be many things but mine stoped because the Timing Chain broke
Yes, it sure can. Also a blown head gasket can cause overheating. If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak, suspect either. White smoke, and a sweet smell from the exhaust are sure signs of a problem. Stop driving the car until you have it repaired or you will severely damage the engine.
