By the way I looked at that page about the codes, and its weird because that still isn’t the connector I have, it looks like a regular obd adapter but it only has 4 terminals in it, I will try to post a pic, Plus I had to start working on my 05 Durango because that car is more important to me, the Buick is just a secondary car really,Thanks Again!
Thanks for all the help everyone, a couple days ago I checked all of the motor mounts, flex plate to torque converter, and pretty much checked over all of my work, I am pretty sure Its on of the sensors on the throttle body, I think the TCS sensor? anyhow I am taking it to a mechanic that my dad knows thats A GM tech. I will let you all know what the problem was, Thanks!

Thats what I did on my Durango when i did the leak down test, It worked good, unfortunately it told me the head gasket was blown ugh, The check engine light came on today in the buick today though Have yet to figure out how to retrieve the codes though

Well I would like to but I dont know how. the Diagnostic is the size for a 12 or 16 pin connector but theres only 4 pins, I tried researching on if you can jump them to get the codes, but I cant seem to find anything on GM 4 pin diagnostic connectors from what I have found in 94 it should have either a 12 pin or 14 which mine has the 12 or 16 pin connector but there are only 4 pins the rest of the spots are empty

I will try to do one by this weekend its still raining here from the hurricane, haha, I have to go pick up a leak down tester too. Cars Cars Cars… I also determined today that my 05 durango 4.7 has a blown headgasket, which is what I suspected since my recent compression test, oil burning, and smokey exhaust, I went to add oil tonight because my dad was going to be driving it tomorrow for a couple hundred miles which is what I have been doing lately ( about 1 quart per week) just to get myself through the winter so I could fix it after, but wow it must have really blow up in the last few days because I took the oil fill cap off and it was pure milk, and it was a quart low on oil in a weeks time. gotta love it! The good thing is that I know a guy that was a chrysler mechanic and went into business for himself so at least ill know it’ll get done right, my guess is that its going to cost me a lil under $1000 to do the job right, I would have done it myself if it was the summer or if I had a bigger garage that wasn’t filled with tools

i think I will end up doing a compression test, I was going to weeks ago but I went to thread my tester into the spark plug hole and it was the wrong size, There aren’t any lights on but i would like to scan it, it has a 4 pin diagnostic connector which I cant seem to find any info on and I don’t know which ports to jump to get the codes to flash if that’s even possible on this model? I also kinda scared about doing a compression test cause im worried of what I might find, haha, My coil pack is from the old engine which ran fine but i did hear of those being culprits for hesitation/ sluggishness? This forum is the best I’ve never gotten so much help on a forum before, I am going to become a premium member soon! Thanks!

Ok so I finally got to the store to get a few things i needed to do some more tests, I did a fuel pressure test and got 40 psi which is normal i believe, I did the propane test on all the vacuum areas that I touched, and the ones on the salvage engine, the engine didn’t surge at all in any of the places, ive gone over all of my work a couple of times, I still haven’t done a compression test because 1 its a real pain to get to the back plugs and its been cold and rainy for like 4 days now, Im in PA, Today I took it out to drive it and I realized that when its in park or neutral the engine seems to run fine, but when I put it in drive or reverse that’s when it hesitates/just seems low on power, The flex plate is from the salvage engine but I looked at it and it seemed to be fine, I know they can get warped but you would still feel that in park and neutral right? plus it starts fine. Any suggestions? thanks for all the help I really appreciate it!
