I have a car with a fuel injector staying open (probably bad), this causes a flooding of the engine.
Try disconnecting the injector you think is bad. The car should start just run a bit rough. If you're not sure which one is causing it, disconnect one at a time, and then try start it. Other option if its not too hard to change the injector, swap it with one of the others if the same problem occurs at the same cylinder the injector is not the problem. If the problem is now at the other cylinder, the injector is bad.

1989 buick regal custom 2.8L starts and runs fine
If I remember correctly (and I admit that my memory isn't what it used to be), the steel fuel from the fuel pump to the carburetor runs up and over the front of the engine. If you live in a warm climate, you ma have fuel percolating in that line after the engine heats up. If that is the correct routing of the fuel supply line, try wrapping the upper portion of the steel line with some small pipe insulation, and see what happens. If that doesn't help, post back and I'll search the memory banks some more. Good luck.
How to replace the fuel pump. Thru trunk or drop
You have to take the tank off. If you've never done it before, better buy a repair manual to walk you through it. A lot easier if the tank is empty or nearly so. If you have to, lower the tank enough to get the filler hose off, then you can siphon gas out of there. Two straps hold the tank in place. Label or remember where all the fuel lines came off of-the main line, return line, and vent line. If the lines connect at top of tank, lower the tank to get to them and the electrical connector, then take the straps off and tank should be free. Helps to have a helper, or if tank is heavy use a floor jack with a piece of wood between tank and jack.Slide the tank out and remove the locking ring where pump assembly mounts in. Wipe or blow away all dirt so nothing falls into the tank. Remove lock ring, lift out assembly. A large rubber O-ring seals the assembly to tank, probably should replace that too on an '89.
1989 Buick Regal Limited Transmission Fluid?
I'm not sure I am following your problem.A transmission holds 10-15 quarts including the torque converter. When you drain the fluid you are changing about 4 quarts of the full amount. Once you fill the transmission to the full mark on the dipstick, you should not be adding more fluid unless there is a leak. Or if the vac modulator is damaged and allowing fluid to be pulled into the engine. The fluid is checked with the engine running in park.
1989 Buick Regal Limited Oil in Engine?
It depends on how much oil and how long the engine ran if any.If you put in 2 quarts too much but did not start the engine, no worries.if you put in 2 quarts too much and drove it for 50 miles, you could have damaged some seals and they may start leaking. Odds are you did not damage anything internally.
Where is the oxygen sensor located on a 1989 Buick regal ?
its located on your exhaust sytem there are usually two some have four go yo autozone if you have a check engine light on they will tell you what bank o2 sensor it is and give you a diagram but it sounds like your fuel pump is going out
