    Some supercharged engines require higher volume pumps and may cause starvation if equipped with the standard pump .

SOURCE: will start then dies

On the regals they have a ceramic resistor on the passanger side under the fender. It heats up and over time it tends to brake and the wire inside tends to rust away. The fuel pumps run in 2 different speeds. Had the same problem. Dealer only part yet the car would run and you would think it was the fuel pump. Turn the key it kicks on then start and dies out. Ceramic on the pass side would need replaced. It is white about 2-3 inches long or so held on with 2 bolts i do believe. Ill find a bulliten i found online to help me diagnos the problem. :) hopefully this helps someone out instead of spendin $$$ that ya cant afford with the recession eh?

You have a problem in the fuel pump relay circuit for sure then. I'm betting the relay, but it could be that dropping resistor.

SOURCE: 99 buick regal won't start

Hello, the Regal seems to have that problem. Insert your key in the ignition and turn it but do not turn the car on, make sure you here the fuel pump kick in, then at the end of you r fuel rail there should be a cap, remove it, use a very thin screw driver and push that part in, Be careful it's going to squirt gas, that's a good sign. If it does not, check your fuel filter. And last, if nothing above described works first check your negative wire on your fuel pump, second your injectors, they might be clogged.
Best of luck, God Bless.

1997 buick regal gs supercharge starts then shuts off what could be the problem

First thing I would need to know is if you are loosing spark or fuel pressure when the engine stops.
If it is fuel, it could be the engine oil pressure switch. The fuel pump gets power from the pump relay in crank mode, then from the oil pressure switch once the engine starts.

it flooded. step on the gas pedal fully and crank the engine; that forces it to go into a clear flood mode by turning off the injectors. it may take a little while, but it will start.

What would be the problem if my 1998 buick regal supercharge starts but dies

Sounds like a weak fuel pump or clogged fuel filter.Check your fuel pressure it should be 48-55 psi with the key on and engine off.

Where is the fuel tank pressure sensor located in a 1998 Buick Regal Supercharged?

Hi,

I believe that I can help you.

Go to your throttle body.
  • A large diameter fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold and supplies fuel to all of the injectors.
  • A fuel pressure cap is located on the rail for quick pressure checks,
  • The electric fuel pump is attached to the fuel sender assembly in the fuel tank. It pumps fuel constantly from the tank, through the fuel rail on to the engine and back to the tank.
  • The fuel pressure regulator that is mounted on the fuel rail maintains pressure across the injectors under all operating conditions.
Unfortunately, my scanner is inoperative and I cannot provide you with a diagram

Can you take off the supercharger from a 1998 buick regal and replace it with a metal plate so its not used. Will the car run without the supercharger?

The supercharger is how air gets into the engine.
Two rotors force the air into the cylinder heads creating more pressure thus more horsepower.

Your engine is designed to run with the parts that are on it. If you change the intake manifold to one on a 3800 without a supercharger you will get into a situation where you will have to change the injectors and add other parts to make it run correctly. Not to mention the reprogramming issue.

If the supercharger is the problem try these people.

I bought a s/c from them and it works better than the original.
