93 Buick Regal Starting ProblemsEd Hunter 07-19-2006, 09:27 PM My 93 Regal 3.8L will start and run really good until it warms up then the idle gets really rough and then dies and I have to crank it over many many times to get it to start again. I had a vacuum leak and got that fixed. I have checked the fuel pump and changed the fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs and wires, IAC, checked out the MAF and it seems to work fine. Any other suggestions I could try??????? Thanks for any help you could give.

The EGR Valve is the most likely component in the system to have problems so check it first. I as*ume the air filter is clean too? Ed Hunter 07-20-2006, 05:08 PM The air filter is new. I will be chcking the EGR this evening and see if that may be bad. Thanks for your suggestion. I'll post back if it works or not. maxwedge 07-20-2006, 07:54 PM My 93 Regal 3.8L will start and run really good until it warms up then the idle gets really rough and then dies and I have to crank it over many many times to get it to start again.

When it dies you need to check the fuel pressure, then check for spark when it won't start, post back results of these tests. Ed Hunter 07-20-2006, 10:07 PM I have spark and fuel pressure. I changed the EGR and now I can get it to idle, but it is a little rough. It is still hard to start but not as hard to start as it used to be. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
