When the engine turns over real fast this indicates that there's no compression. This could be due to a broken timing belt or valve and piston problems.

Rough idle is a very common problem on 4 cylinders, but I believe the 98 Regency has a 6 cylinder in it, right?

Sometimes the coil packs get iffy, and sometimes the EGR Valve gets a leak in it causing a rough idle.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed, it can change things so that the engine seems to run smoothly.

However, I would look for codes to see if anything intermittent is occurring in the engine that may need attention.

The OBD-I scanner can help to diagnose the problem, if anything is out of specifications on the engine in question.

The owner will have to find a technician that has such a scanner.

If it is like a 1986 caddy I had ,your problem
is a module for the blower & I forget,something to do with the a/c

Anywhy, it has two separate functions & I had the one you have

Mine was around the left front headlight somewhere
It is a dealer part

For now you have to unplug the blower under the hood
in the middle of firewall next to the blower or find and unplug the
module

Remove the distributor cap, and unplug & tape over the pigtail you unplug. As the engine cranks, look to see if the rotor is turning. You may have thrown a timing belt.

check the fuse first, after that if the fuse seems ok, check for any vacuum leaks going to the system, you can check for leaks, by spraying carb cleaner around the area, if the motor revs up a little while spraying, thats where your leak is going to be

Bad headlight switch

how do you replace the dimmer switch on the steering colunm

You will need to remove the bolt(s) and then use a gear puller. The crankshaft pulley normally a harmonic balancer also and will be keyed with a drift pin. You should be able rent a puller from Auto Zone or other automotive store.
