SOURCE: Car died and wont start

The fuel injector motor or called the Idle Air control module is not the failure. The fuel pump is overheating and dies out. Thus when letting sit a while the engine is starting up again.
I woult take vehicle to local shop and have them replace the fuel pump , I suggest not getting taken for a complete tune up. Just the fuel pump is the most cost effective way .

I'am afraid it would cost more than the car is worth, but if your in love with the car than anything can be done with a torch and a welder.

1993 Buick Century, what makes the car stall when giving it gas, and engine seems to want to stop, if no gas is getting through. Other keep saying check gas filter, fuel pump or relay. by the way where is...
The relay, if it has electric fuel pump, is in the engine compartment either mounted on the sides or firewall or in a fuse box in the compartment. Check your timing and run carburetor/Injector cleaner cleaner though the engine. Try replacing plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor as well. It sounds as if you are flooding not running out of fuel.

Brake indicator warning light for a 1993 buick century
Check to see that the emergency brake isn't engaged. This happened to me a couple weeks ago after I did some work on the dash and had to barely depress the pedal. Also verify your brake fluid is ok.
Hope this helps!
