Hello Sandy. This is a dangerous problem that will result in a terrifying engine fire if you continue to drive. Please call a repair shop as soon as possible and tell them what is going on. You may have to have the car put on a flat bed truck to get it to a repair shop safely. Joe

Newbie here! How to install fuel pump on 96 olds regency elite?

You might benefit from the 96 Regency Elite factory service manual purportedly available by a download for $22, if scrolling through pages or using CTRL F to hunt through a PDF is something you are comfortable with. I have no idea if it tells you to check for rust in the fuel tank. https://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/281883502-1996-oldsmobile-regency-service-and-repair-manual

The Haynes group is of course more familiar and there seems an aside mention of the 96 being covered in spite of the title. https://haynes.com/en-us/oldsmobile/regency/1997-1998

Regarding videos, I encounter such for the Olds Bravada and the Olds Aurora, both 96 models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO3QkeMTwP0

Car quits when i push on the gas

car quit when you accelerate,could have stopped up fuel filter or weak fuel pump, check fuel pressure with new fuel filter should be 40 - 47 psi.if fuel okay could have massive intake leak,check for air leak at the air intake duct if air intact duct goes to air filter is open that will cause intake leak or intake manifold gasket leaking or ignition timing off timing chain could jump time for high mileage engine.

Found a pressurized gas leak under the hood of my car, what could it be?

Hi there are only a few things really it could be, the main fuel lines run down that side of the car so id start by checking where they exit the firewall and go up to the fuel filter. It will either be a loose hose clamp or a split fuel line. Pretty much just check the fuel lines from the firewall to the entry of the engine and you cant go wrong just be careful of fumes around a warm engine

I accidentally hit the rev limiter today and now when I get into second gear and beyond my 2003 GTI 1.8T is making a loud hissing noise like it's the blow off Valve. I have now warning lights on and the...

hi sounds like your high revving has accidenetaly pushed off one of the turbo boost pipes or possibly even split a hose causing it to leak boost pressure get a freind to lightly rev the engine
so you can hear where its coming from if youve split the hose you should find it quite quickly with the bonnet up, or if need be get car up on axle stands and listen for it underneath, for a temporary fix and i mean temporarary wrap the split with gaffer tape or duct tape will restore your boost but not if you give it max revs good luck

Whenever I pump gas into my vehicle it leaks from just under the place you pump at. The gas line is visible from under the wheel well and I can see where it's leaking at. Not more than 6 or 7 inches down...

Since you are broke I will not charge you for the advice.
The cheapest remedy is to wrap a cellophane sheet around it and then tie a string tight enough to not let any fuel leak above and below the leak point. Back it up with thick cello tape tightly. Make sure you dont choke the fuel hose.

Changed out 460 engine. Now fuel delivery problem.

Interesting problem. Not sure what the mechanic has tried - but I recommend that you test YOUR thought about heat on the fuel line. Try some aluminum foil wrapped on the line near and after any heat source... If that fixes it, YOU identified the problem . For perminent fix, just get some heat tape and wrap the line near any heat source and the 460 should be happy.
