2003 Buick Regal Service Engine Soon light.

2003 Buick Regal V6, 160,000 miles on it; Service engine light had come on & per recomendation of mechanic: we changed the plugs, plug wires, & PVC valve. Also (since it was due) changed the oil, filter & fuel filter. Still ran rough so had it checked agian & had the cat converter changed. Drove it for 3-4 days & the service engine light came on again, (stays on) had it 'read' & error code P1133-MFR control-fuel+air metering. What part is this & were is it located?

The error that I'm showing for error code P1133 is 
P1133 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) insufficient switching bank 1 sensor 1(Rear Bank).  I would suggest having both of your Oxygen Sensors replaced if you haven't already had that done.  Hope this helps.  Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa.

Clearing check engine code, service engine soon codes on 2003 buick regal

Are you asking how to clear the check engine light?
Buy a cheap code reader ( $20 ) plug it in the OBD2 port which has to be no more than 3 feet from the steering column and clear the code(s).
If the check engine light comes right back on after you have cleared the code(s),read the code(s) and correct the problem(s).

2002 Buick Regal Service Engine Soon light PO442 diagnostic code

That is an emissions code. It means you have a small leak in one of the lines. Most likely it the line that goes from the engine to the evap canister in the drivers side rear inner fender well.

My 2003 Buick Regal is running like ****

Per your description, it sounds as though you have a stuck injector. I assume you have a service engine light on. Take the vehicle to your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts and ask them to scan the car for trouble codes, they will scan the vehicle at no charge to you.
Write the codes down and respond back to this post and we can get started.
Let me know.

Buick Regal problem-help!!!!!!!!

Have you done the basic maintenance. Spark plugs, oil change, ect.? As for the fans, if you have a/c one of them should only come on when your a/c is on. The other is regulated by a relay so when your car reaches a certain temp it kicks on.
