98 Buick Regal GS, won't start. Past 2 weeks it

98 Buick Regal GS, won't start. Past 2 weeks it sputtered when starting then leveled off at idle and ran fine. Noticed while driving last night that when I tried to accel it would sputter like it wasn't getting enough spark and then it would catch and accelerate. Later that same night I tried to start it and it sputtered and then would not start. Pretty sure it's not getting spark....any ideas what the problem is?

    We had the same problem on our f 250 sounds like your ecm
    Is going or gone same problem our truck sputter and acted like it was out of fuel no spark
    Tried everything no spark... Finally found a used ECM at one of the junk yards but it would not shift right(make sure you get the exact same serial number or it will not work) so we order a used rebuilt ECM at auto zone
    150 .00 with core and it worked pretty good. 1 year warranty.

The ignition module is my second guess,but check the crankshaft sensor first.

My Buick Regal GS 98' has electrical issues, wont start, or if It does sometimes the dash goes crazy, or it stalls. Have replaced the turn switch. Could the power windows on driver side be problem? How do...

I had the same problem with my 98 regal. I replaced a wiring harness on the steering column that has heavy gadge wires coming from the fire wall and going to a small black box directly below the ignition switch.Since I replaced it I have not had any problems

I have a 99 Buick Regal GS, engine will start and run for few seconds then it will die.

I had a similar problem....my 98 regal GS did the same. There is a two stage fuel pump resistor located in the right inner finder. It was corroded and open. The fix requires relocating new resister on firewall. Fix was $165.00 + tax to my mechanic and runs like new now. Hard to diagnose problem per mechanic.
