i just bought a buick century from a dealer who didnt have the best rep for selling quality cars... but my other car was about to die and i was desperate, right after i signed the papers and a no warranty slip...... the car started acting up.... it acts like it doesnt want to start unless u gas it while turning the key... and it randomly dies but only when the car is stopped it will start right back up but its a little annoying when it dies and im at a red light and the light goes green before i can get it going again.... if any one has ne suggestions please help me

siphoning gas - century 99 by senorkoki

hi:
 
i have century 99 that's been sitting idle for 2 years - kept in a non-insulated garage w/ about 3/4 full tank of gas.
 
i wanted to siphon the gas out - but am unable to.
i'm now assuming that there is a siphon restrictor.
 
is there any other way to get the gas out other than bringing it to a mechanic?
i have yet to start the car.
 
should i just change the oil and put a treatment into the gas w/o changing gas?
thanks

94 buick century 2.5 liter 4 cylinder 197thousand miles. A month ago I got head gasket repair wrong gasket(redone) also idler pulley the cold weather hit and it seemed like my ignition switch was hard to turn over. Never had cold problem starts before was kind of frustrated then driving to work 70 mph 15 below zero thought there was a wind gust then noticed a drop in speed and felt like gas peddle was harder to step on.couldn't go faster just kept getting slower, check engine light came on got off freeway 1mile later, temp gauge was over half. parked no steam or water under car worked all day started car not stiff no check engine light. started driving could go no faster than 30 at stop sign tried putting in park and revving engine sounded okay no missing. and no rumble noise ,put in gear. first pressure on gas like normal more pressure a rumbling noise no faster than 25 mechanic said catalytic converter. no. computer module no. fuel filter a little dirty didn't change anything gas running rich ,checked sensors they could get to, two days later took to affiliate shop .day and a half later still baffled now we are talking about drive chain or belt the first mechanic ruled out because of fiber optics. second mechanic says belt or chain 500.00 for this job just to find out yes or no. already 500. into labor of guessing .Is the head gasket responsible for this or does anyone have any ideas. do i just get a different used car.

I have a 2005 Buick century and I can't turn on the vent because I have a fuel leak under the hood. Inside the car smells like gas. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can get it fixed,or if there's somthing that I can use to stop the leak???
