Is it possible you might have installed the thermostat upside down? How long was it hot? You might have burned your engine up. Check compression, each cylinder should be over 100 at least, and around 130 at best.

SOURCE: Car shuts down while driving

It is very likely the part that is giving you the problem is a Crankshaft Position Sensor, they go open circuit when they get hot, then after it cools it becomes a good circuit again, this is very frustrating, had the same issue with my Buick a few years ago, replaced the coils and the ignition module at a cost of hundreds, DID NOT CHANGE A THING, the crank sensor fixed the problem and was $30.00 from Buick.

SOURCE: Low Coolant light flashing on 1996 Buick Regal 3.8

The low coolant sensor should be located in the passenger side radiator tank, You need to take it out and clean the sludge off of it for it to work right. Or you can just unplug it and forget about it, the light will go out and it won't cause any problems.

SOURCE: 1991 buick regal starting and running problem

Sounds like your car is overheating. If you have a temp gauge it should show that. If you just have an idiot light, by the time it comes on it's already too hot to operate. AFTER the car is cooled down, open the radiator cap to see how much coolant has been lost. Chances are there is alot missing. Add WATER (no sense in adding coolant if it's going to leak out) and idle the car at home. Look underneath as it warms up to find where the leak is.

2000 buick Regal run hot and hasitate when running. no engene light.

It`s a 2000 buick regal ls. make sure when it gets hot eh fans are running. There is a coolant sensor just below the top radiator hose ON THE ENGINE. This sensor tells the fans when to go on when the engine gets hot and also serves as a low coolant sensor. unplug the sensor and replace it. use a open end or box wrench. if your quick you can replace it and only loose a few ounces of coolant. Hope this helps and God Bless :O)

A 2000 buick Regal is running hot and stalling when taking off. before that I bush the rear defrost and the heater fun and rear defrost stopped working. It was a couple week before it ran hot.

Check for a stuck thermostat first. Open the radiator cap when the engine is cold. Start the engine and watch for rapid water movement in the radiator. If you see that then the thermostat is ok. Now watch for bubbles in the water in the radiator. If you see any, that indicates a blown head gasket.You might want to install a back flush kit to flush any rust buildup in the radiator. Auto parts stores have them for a few dollars.

the one thing that comes too mind is trapped air-when i do a radiator I always start up and warm engine so thermostat cycles a few times to make sure that you dont trap air in colling system. you did not say so but if you didnt, its really not a bad idea to change thermostat and gasket when digging into colling system. they are usaully fairly cheap.

2001 Buick Regal shakes when idling.

Suggestion only! If you had no shake before the tranny work,then retracing the steps backwards is a good way to find the new problem.
Go back to the tranny shop and complain #2 go to another tranny shop and get a professional to look at their work.
