1995 Buick century special. it acts like its flooding out while running. what's wrong

By the gas tank there is a type of vapor line, on which there is a rubber elbow in between the two lines. One end is smaller than the other. If that rubber piece is not airtight the engine will stall out, I hope that helps.

1992 buick century wont go into gear

When you push the gas pedal all the way to the floor, is the engine revving up? Does the transmission engage at all? Have you checked the transmission fluid level? Is it foamy? Do you smell something burning or burnt?

Starting car if doesnt catch the first time

if it's fuel injected you will cause yourself major headaches by giving it gas (flooding) so you should actually be able to start the car without touching the gas pedal

Re-post 1998 buick,century not starting after alot,too much gas?

Sounds like you are flooding the engine with fuel. On the fuel rail you will find a fuel pressure regulator. Try replacing that . It sounds as if the pressure g=regulator isn't working therefore allowing a lot more fuel than it should. Hope this helps you out.

Does the engine start ? Have you unplugged the fuel pump relay to clear out the excess fuel ?

SOURCE: 2000 Buick Century gas gauge reads full all the time

You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.

It sounds like the engine computer. Also check the resistance in the injectors and o-rings. O2 sensor and coolant temp sensor could give you a problem.
