Kurt B. Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 A friend of mine has bought a 99 Buick Regal w/the 3800sc motor (102k)in it and the motor is surging, cutting off, and using alot of gas. Before it goes into the shop, I thought someone on here might have a remedy. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Could be a bunch of things. MAF. O2 sensor, etc. If your friend wants to save some money he can bring it by my house and I can hook my scanner up to it and see what it's doing.

Duff1647545513 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Check the plugs, wires and coils, fuel filter. And theres also a fuse that fucks up but i don't remember which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 does it sputter and rev whenever it wants to? or what do you mean by uses a lot of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99ta Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 unbolt the front motor mounts. while the car is in park rock it forward which will move the engine forward and then put the e brake on. make a it easier. I can get to mine without doing that. have some scratched up arms, but ussually only take an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
