You can try rotating the spark plug boot a little bit-not even a 1/4 turn-to break the seal between the plugand the boot. Then pull the boot wire off with a pliers on the metal boot shield. Once the boot has beet rotated on the plug, the shield helps to remove it.

Why wont my 99 Buick regal ls stay running it starts then immediately stalls out

Is your SECURITY light flashing? If so, you have a V.A.T.S. problem. VATS stands for Vehicle Anti Theft System. Try getting a new ignition key made because the resistance value has probably changed in the one you have. If that doesn't do it you'll need to get a VATS bypass.

On my 99 buick regal ls the # 2 cylinder keeps misfiring, i have changed plugs and wires and the coil, all the fuel injectors sound fine what else could be causing this

alot of times the coil goes bad and kills the driver for the cylinder, remove the plug wire from that coil and see if it has spark if it does then my next step would be to do a compression test on #2 cylinder to make sure its not a mechainical problem. if the compression is good then check for vacuum leaks around that cylinders intake port and last is to make sure the firing order is right.the last thing would be to swap that injector with another cylinder and see if the misfire moves.good day.

I am A mechanic. What the heck r the metal tubes around the rear spark plugs? On my 1992 buick Regal 3.8L? Why cant I pry the Plug wires loose on those rear plugs?

Those tubes are to keep heat away from the boots. Try twisting the boots, but by the boot only, not the wire. They "stick" on if not lubed, or removed in a long time. (Use a little dialectric grease in the spark plug end)
