I have a 1992 OLDS Regency Elite 98. The car runs perfectly until all of the sudden it wont start. There are no mechanical problems that I can see. Sometimes if I pull the key in and out and try to start it over and over it will turn over. Recently this trick has failed me and the car will not start at all.

You probably need to replace the ignition switch (located at the bottom of the steering column). You can start by making sure the switch has not come loose from the column and that the rod connecting it to the key mechanism has not come loose or is out of adjustment.

Based on the information you have given to this point, I am just going to give you a few possiblities. Have you had a tune up done recently? Air filter been checked or changed? I am not in any way trying to sound sarcastic so I apologize if I come off that way.Those would be my first things to inspect if I were ask to look at your car. I would also check fuel pressure and inspect the fuel pressure regulator.I would consider these things and go from there. I Hope this helps you but please let me know if you need more information on what to do next but I may need some more information at that time also .

SOURCE: I have a 1992 olds

in my experience finding specific directions on how to do that are nearly impossible to find due to the strict EPA regulations on the use of refrigerant. but when i replaced the evaporator core on my tahoe i found it helpful to go on to youtube and search how to remove the dash. once the dash is out disconect the lines going to the evaporator core and the heater core from the engine side of the firewall. from inside the vehicle remove all screws securing the heater box to the firewall. you have to search for one or two hidden screws. looking from the engine side may make them visible. the heater box should pull out easily if not you missed a screw. once out of the vechicle remove all screws hold the box halves together, mine had about fifteen going all the way around it. open it up remove the evaporator core, clean any dirt, leaves etc. out of the box. replace core and reinstall. honestly not a very difficult job, but it is time consuming. hope this helps.

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

92 olds 98 regency wont turn over wont do anything

If you have no power at all when you turn the key on try changing your battery.If you have power and the starter isn't engaging remove your starter and have it tested to see if is bad.Most of your local auto parts stores do this for free.

Can you tell me when I should change the timing chain on my 1995 Olds 98 Regency Elite? It has the 3.8 L series II V6. I currently have 116,000 miles. Also, are there performance mufflers with...

If it has a timing CHAIN, I wouldn't bother replacing it until you need a valve job or engine rebuild. The timing chain should last quite a while, especially since it is being lubricated as the engine runs.
However, if it has a timing BELT, at 116,000 miles, you're past due.

I have a 1990 oldsmobile 98 and every day i have to get a boost to start it. what's the problem

it is the automatic load leveler that pumps air into the back shocks to level the car so it rides better when there are lots of people or weight in it. it is in the frontof the car opposite the battery, just disconnect it. had the same problem on my 1990 olds 98.
