Rabbit, I remember when those cars were commonplace. The carburetors had issues. It was electronic mixture control solenoid and they used to stick.
Also, if it had the Buick V6 they used to suck intake gaskets. I also remember changing fuel pumps on the 2.8 engines. It had a long shaft on the pump with a large heavy duty spring and in some chassis it was difficult to remove
But like you said at least in my experience you would fix one thing in the car and it would be back the next week for something else. It was very hard to explain to the customer that you what you fixed was not related to the new problem they had.
Then when GM came out with port fuel injection on those cars a year or two later the injectors would fail. The Transmissions had trouble with the TCC clutch solenoid sticking so when you came to a stop it would die suddenly. Start it back up and drove away until the next stop.
Yep those cars would not stay fixed.
