#1 of 7 96 Buick Regal Check Engine Light by bbernander Aug 13, 2007 (1:57 pm)
My 96 Buick Regal's check engine light continues to stay on. I have reset it by disconnecting the battery and have filled up with new gas which worked for about 3 days. The engine seems to sputter once in a while either from a stop at a light or around highway speeds. I have noticed as well the gas gauge has started to float as well when turning corners. What would you say would be a good option at fixing this or the possible cause. Replies to this message: jipster (Aug 13, 2007 5:31 pm)

#3 of 7 Trouble shooting Codes by bbernander Aug 24, 2007 (5:42 pm)
So I received the codes for my 96 Buick Regal of P0102 which is Air Flow Sensor Condition. And Code P0420 Catalyst Efficiency Low bank 1. My question is what Vacuum hoses(location) are I to look at for a possible leak and how to I find a leak. And any simple trouble shooting ideas to narrow down the issue?
#4 of 7 RPMs inconsistent by bbernander Oct 05, 2007 (7:00 am)
I had the MAF replaced but still providing the check engine code along with a low reading on the Catalytic converter of which the mechanic said he could not turn off. Would the code still appear if the new MAF was working properly after I disconnected the battery?   The engine continues to studder which it seems the RPMs fluctuate when coasting and at idle. The RPMs will dip for a second, slowing the vehicle a little and then resume to where it was. And this will continue. At idle the RPMs will fluctuate from 1000 which is a little high to 500 and then back. Plugs and Fuel Filter have been changed, the plug wires seem to be in good condition by looking at the tubing themselves but I am confused as to what else it could be. Any other suggestions?

#6 of 7 cooling fans sending sensor 1996 Regal by joe862 Jun 07, 2009 (2:42 pm)
I just got this 1996 regal 6 cylinder. When you idle the fans wont turn on. I bypassed the control switches and can get them on. My question is, is the coolant level sensor the same as the heat sensor that tells the control units to send power to the fans?
