SOURCE: Car starts then stalls out...

could be to many thing to take chances with, but most commonly;fuel filter,gas line antifreeze or a crack in your air intake which would take your vacuum seal away, start with the least expensive and work from their. Worst case scenario pinched fuel line

SOURCE: Injectors are not opening on a 1992 buick century 3.3

One or more of your fuel injectors are defective. I have a 1991 Olds Ciera 3.3L V-6. It had the exact same problem as your car did.I had checked the pressure,which is 40 psi at the fuel rail. I also replaced the fuel filter,checked the crankshaft sensor,and throttle sensor. Still had the same problem. Cleaned the throtte body intake. What i finally found was a bad #4 fuel injector. Take a multimeter,diconnect the electrical connectors of each injector,check the resistence of each injector over the 2 electrical connectors ,they should be between 12 and 14 omes. The ones that are NOT passing the test(or the ones that don't match up),replace. The computor (EMC) ,will not let the engine start,if one or more injectors are defective.

SOURCE: I have a 1987 Buick Century. That stalls out

I'm not Roger but can tell you this....if you have a bad crankshaft position sensor or a corrupt ECM....your car will do that.....last things could be the timing belt.

SOURCE: buick regal 92 3.8L Horrible fuel mileage

Sounds like you might have an oxygen sensor problem. Your catalytic converter(s) maybe defective or dirty. That in turn can dirty up the oxygen sensor. A defective oxygen sensor will send faulty info to the computer, interpreting the fumes as cold (even when the engine warms up). That causes the computer to adjust the fuel mixture to very rich, giving you poor gas mileage and the fuel smell. Hope it helps.

Will fuel pressure regulator stop engine from starting

Yes it can if it can't maintain the correct fuel pressure. I would also check that the injectors are getting a signal from the ECM.

How to fix a1998 buick century to start fuel filter new and airfilter turning over but not starting gets gas

Did you check for spark? It sounds like you're not getting spark. Check for spark. If you are not getting spark then it sounds like you might have to replace the coil packs. Is it running a L4 engine? If its running a standard chevy L4 its probably the coil packs. Try to replace them check again for spark.

My Buick Century has started to run a little rough and going through gas more. Besides just the spark plugs and tune up, what could the problem be? Seems as though there is interference with air flow.

running rough, could be a few possible things besides spark plugs, and wires!
air filter, fuel filter, fuel injectors, fuel pump, coil pack, Etc.
Id start with the air and fuel filters!
Good luck, Hope this helps!

1989 buick century won't start. New fuel pump was put on. It seems like the car is flooding with gas. When you crank the car gasoline shoots threw the spark plug holes when you take the plugs out. I also...

Check the fuel pressure regulator,and the fuel return line all the way back to the fuel tank,one ,or the other is stopped up,or the fuel regulator is closed up.I would check the fuel return line first,this is the most likely problem.

Check a few things, check your spark plugs, spark plug wires, also check your fuel filter, fuel pump, but the first thing that you should check is the ground wire from your battery to the engine block
