changed harmonic balancer now motor cranks but wont start.
Why wont it start? Heard it might be crankshaft positioner? How can I check to see if that's the problem? Is there anything else I can check?

Good looking car with sleek body lines. Stereo and wheels are dated both will need upgraded. Power can be added simple with a pulley change. Exhaust tips are something definitely needing change. Slotted and or cross drilled rotors with a good set of pads like EBCs will be a plus.Aug 16, 2012

You don't need a super-charger in this Riv. She will pin you to your seat in a second. Very responsive, and Very dependable as well. She is a true pleasure to drive one of my friends says "I swear she sprouts wings and seems to float on the interstate" She is a love it or hate it car, but I love it!Feb 27, 2011

Please take my 1997 Buick Riviera off this web. Robert W. Ligon
I have not heard from Car Gurus since I put my car on this web. I sold the car when I finally learned how to get in touch with the buyers. During this time I dropped the price and sold the car at a lower price than I wanted. Take my car off the web. Robert W. Ligon 690 Woodhall Abbey Ct Martinez GA 30907.
