Why does a 1999 Buick Regal GS only have fuel pressure at key on and then looses it imediatley after starts and runs for 3 to 5 sec then bounces right back up after engine stalls?

The GS has a two-speed fuel pump, which is controlled by the pcm through 2 relays. During cranking, full power is supplied to the fuel pump through one of the relays. After start, when the ignition switch is relaxed into the "run" position, the pcm then delivers fuel pump power through the other relay. That relay sends the power through a large resistor that looks like a ceramic horseshoe that is mounted on the frame under the battery at the right front of the vehicle. You will find the connector behind the right headlight assembly. It has 2 wires, and is fairly easy to find. You can ohm it out from there. Most likely that is your problem. The GM replacement comes with a relocation kit, so it can be mounted above the engine on the firewall in a friendlier environment. If you choose to relocate it, you really don't need to remove the old one- it's kind of in a tight place, and not real easy to find.

Why 2000 Yukon looses power while accelerating?
If no codes (check engine light) or rpm fluctation first check fuel pressure
Is there a safety switch when a 1995 3000gt looses oil pressure?
no
Is there a safety switch when a 1995 3000gt looses oil pressure and runs out of oil and ruins the engine?
No. that's why there are oil guages & warning lights. Some driver interaction is required in car upkeep.
Does a 2002 Toyota Echo have an emergency fuel shut off if the car looses oil pressure?
No
89 Ford Bronco II 2.9 When I turn on the engine there is no knocking sound but as it warms up you start to hear like someone is tapping the engine with a hammer.?
Sounds like you are loosing oil pressure. As the oil heats up, it looses viscosity, which in turn decreases its ability to act as a buffer between engine parts.
What causes ford 5.8L to run fine at low rpm but looses power with higher rpm?
Fuel Pressure
Car smokes grey out of exhaust and looses engine coolant what is the reason why it is doing this?
blown head gasket!
Idles good but looses power in reverse or drive?
Need to run a fuel pressure test, and check the fuel filter.
How is a cell affected if it looses the ability to be selectively permeable?
It will burst. It is selectively permeable to ensure that only the material that is required in the cell is able to enter it, if it looses the ability to to be selectively permeable then difusion will occur and the cell with try to be equal to the outside pressure, which will likely cause the cell to burst.
Engine seems to rev high sometimes looses gas pressure I changed the thermostat after the temp gauge shot all the way up then three weeks latter my car truck started to spew radiator fluid out of?
Not sure about the revving but the fluid is most likely due to a failed water pump.
1992 grand prix looses coolant Changed radiator water pump and thermostat What else could it be?
3.1 engine leaks at the intake gasket
Your Toyota preva looses power one of the problems given by the mechanic you have was EGR valve but it still has the same problem it looses power and sometimes goes off what else could my problem be?
check the catalystic converter its getting old and falling apart,it's blocking the engine exhaust....
