SOURCE: I have a 91 olds Ninety eight regency elite

cam sensor is only half of the cam circuit, the other half of the cam circuit is the magnet on the timing chain. the cam sensor reads from the magnet every time the engine completes a revolution,
what happens is the magnet on the chain will break into smaller piece which makes the sensor harder to read every time the engine make a complete revolution.
most likely you'll need to replace the timing chain to fix this.

Un bolt it pull it out. Most likely it will be a bad magnet on the cam sprocket. Over time they will fall apart. The timing cover will need to come off to repair along with the cam gear.

Newbie here! How to install fuel pump on 96 olds regency elite?

You might benefit from the 96 Regency Elite factory service manual purportedly available by a download for $22, if scrolling through pages or using CTRL F to hunt through a PDF is something you are comfortable with. I have no idea if it tells you to check for rust in the fuel tank. https://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/281883502-1996-oldsmobile-regency-service-and-repair-manual

The Haynes group is of course more familiar and there seems an aside mention of the 96 being covered in spite of the title. https://haynes.com/en-us/oldsmobile/regency/1997-1998

Regarding videos, I encounter such for the Olds Bravada and the Olds Aurora, both 96 models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO3QkeMTwP0

Have a 1998 olds regency..bad interior..potential donor car is a 1996 olds 88...are these seats compatable as far as bolt up and electric connectors?

You should be fine, if there is a difference in connectors, at least you will have the ones off of your car that you can graft onto the new ones. The colors should be the same thou.

How do your repair the heater in 1998 olds regency? The temperature readout flashes, the temperature gauge on the dash is not working, it blows hot out of one vent on bilevel setting.

Sounds like the heater control unit is going bad. I believe this unit has a digital/vacuum control unit which explains why you are only getting hot out of one vent. Try the salvage yard or ebay for a replacement unit. They are non-repairable...
