Buick Regal - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
2001 buick regal ls - mileage dash lights are out
It is your Instrument cluster, see my answers to this question and write me if you have any more questions, it cost me a total of no more than $15 dollars to fix it myself, took be about one hour.
Intake manifold gasket / replace
3.8L Engine
NOTE
The 3.8L (VIN K) non-supercharged engine uses a two-piece intake
manifold consisting of an upper air plenum which mounts the throttle
body and a lower intake manifold assembly which houses the fuel
injectors. The 3.8L (VIN 1) supercharged engine uses a similar lower
intake manifold. The supercharger serves as the upper manifold.
Lower Manifold
NOTE
Two bolts which fasten the lower intake manifold to the cylinder
head are accessible only after the upper intake manifold is removed.
These bolts are located in the right front and left rear corners of the
lower intake manifold. Remove the upper intake manifold to service the
lower intake.
The 3.8L (VIN 1) supercharged engine uses a manifold
similar to the 3.8L (VIN K), but the supercharger serves as the upper
manifold.
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
On 3.8L (VIN 1) engines, remove the supercharger assembly. Please see the procedure in this section.
-
Remove the upper intake manifold using the procedure above.
-
Remove the EGR outlet pipe from the intake manifold.
-
Detach the engine coolant temperature sensor wiring harness from the sensor.
-
Remove the lower intake manifold bolts and carefully lift off the manifold.
To install:
Fig. Lower intake manifold bolt torque sequence-3.8L (VIN K) engine
-
Clean all parts well with degreaser, especially the gasket seal
surfaces on the upper and lower manifold pieces and between the lower
manifold and the cylinder heads..
-
Install new gaskets to the cylinder heads and new seals to the
engine block. Carefully lower the manifold into place. Apply
thread-locking compound to the bolt threads. Make sure to install the
two hidden bolts in the lower intake manifold. Hand start all bolts,
then torque evenly to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm). Follow the toque sequence,
starting in the center, then working outwards in a circle.
-
Install the remaining components in the reverse order of the removal process.
Upper Intake Manifold (Plenum)
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
On 3.8L (VIN 1) engines, remove the supercharger assembly. Please see the procedure in this section.
-
Tag for identification, then remove the right side spark plug wires.
-
Disconnect the ignition wires from the fuel rail.
-
Remove the fuel rail. Please see Section 5.
-
Remove the cable bracket from the intake manifold.
-
Remove the throttle body.
NOTE
Two bolts which fasten the lower intake manifold to the cylinder
head are accessible are accessible only after the upper intake manifold
is removed. These bolts are located in the right front and left rear
corners of the lower intake manifold.
-
Remove the upper intake manifold bolts and carefully lift the upper intake manifold from the engine.

To install:
-
Clean all parts well with degreaser, especially the gasket seal surfaces on the upper and lower manifold pieces.
-
Install new gaskets to the cylinder heads and new seals to the
engine block. Carefully lower the manifold into place. Make sure to
install the two hidden bolts in the lower intake manifold. Hand start
all bolts, then torque evenly to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm). Follow the
torque sequence, starting in the center, then working outwards in a
circle.
-
Install the remaining components in the reverse order of the removal process.
Fuel injusctors not firing
The injectore do not fire they simply open and squirt fuel. check the fuse for the fuel pump and fuel pump relay before we go any furthur
Buick regal drive cycle instructions
If you had a emissions problem and it has been corrected and the check light is out, then it should be cleared after 200 miles.Or will just show is a inactive fault
Low Beam Drivers Side doesn't work ... low voltage,
Power for the headlights on the Left side (High and low beam.) comes from the same fuse... The ORANGE wire and the ORANGE/BLACK are the same, they connect in the harness. If you only lack the 12v to make the light work connect them at the headlight assembly.
If your low beam also lacks ground the Left low beam ground is shared with the right low beam ground... Run a wire from left low beam DARK BLUE to right low beam DARK BLUE/WHITE.
If its not working now then your cursed, seek a witch doctor.
I have a 1997 Buick Regal LS that won't start.
Your starter or the starter solenoid on top of the starter is bad. Take the starter to any auto parts store like Chief's/NAPA/Schuck's/Kragen....they will check it for FREE!!!
FREE IS ALWAYS GOOD!!!
2003 BUICK REGAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.
This is a common problem on some GM cars. There is a pressure control valve in the side cover of the transmission that needs to be replaced. The transmission does not have to be rebuilt. You will need to get a side cover gasket also.
