Answer
My category is American Motors, which means vehicles manufactured by American Motors Corporation. Your vehicle is manufactured by General Motors. I do not have any experience with Buicks or vehicles made by GM. Please submit your question to an expert in the Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac, oldsmobile or General Motors category.
