The distributor might be damaged on your 1999 Buick Regal if it stalls occasionally and will not start. This problem is common in older vehicles and once you sit for a few minutes, the vehicle will generally restart.Ê
Transmission Problem Battery Problem Ignition Problem
Same problem I had. You need a new ignition switch. Current one has a short which is disabling fuel pump, therefore shutting engine down while driving
Most likely it's an EGR valve problem. try unhooking egr then drive it, if the problem goes away, you just need to replace the egr valve.
i have a 2001 Chevy lumina and i am wondering if the ECM is going out, sometimes it will die when i am driving but starts right back up, sometimes it will die and not start up after several hours of sitting, then it starts up. Could this be the ECM?
Had same problem with my 91. ECU had leaking capacitor.

get your starter check I had same problem it was faulty starter
My 93 VR4 has started doing this at 195K miles. It runs fine after this sputtering and occasionally backfiring and even dying. Then you can recrank it and drive all day. I am going to take it in but the bets are that it involves the choke cutting out. The timing is about right. If it were the injectors or filters then it seems that the problem would continue while driving. I am still drining it at present until time to take it in.
car starts but shut off while driving
adjust your idle...the idle screw needs to be pulled left.
it sounds like the problem is an over charge.
I have just came up on this same problem with my 2000 Kia. Turns out it was the Ignition switch. $160.00 to have it replaced.
