    Electrical problem on a 99 Buick Century

    When I start the car the driver's side window rolls all the way down. I then have to wait about 10 seconds to be able to roll the window all the way back up. Once I put it up, I can't put it down anymore. Thoughts? Switch or relay?

    Head gasket blown in 3800 series II motor

    Got her running and purring like a kitten! Thanks for all your help. The only thing where I effed up was that I broke the coolant temp sensor. But that will be a quick and easy fix.

    The temp gauge was fine. But I don't know how accurate they are.

    I don't know if this info is valuable at all but about 20 min before the head gasket went out the heat was not working. Could that point to a bad thermostat also?

    Head gasket blown in 3800 series II motor

    As I was driving home from advanced auto parts today the head gasket blew out on my 96 Pontiac Bonneville. I'm 90% sure it was that due to the smoke out of the exhaust plus the smell right before it blew. I was at AA to get a code checked out, it was "multiple cylinder misfire" if I remember...
