How do you change spark plugs in a 2002 buick regal ls?
pull plug wire off plug , unscrew the spark plug , gap the new plug, then screw it in, reattach plug wire. repeat this until all plugs are changed.
That is a terrible description of "how" to change the "rear" plugs on this car. The description above applies to anyone changing a sparkplug on a car.
The rear plugs compared to the front plugs are almost nearly impossible to get to through the top of the motor. Creatively moving a couple brackets and removing the oxygen sensor made it easier.
Well, that's what I thought also. Actually, the 3800 has dog bone motor mounts. You need to detach them from where it connects to the engine and the whole engine leans forward.

Why does 1990 regal not start when hot?
If it turns over slowly like a dead battery it could be a bad starter
It if turns over normally, but hard starting, could be fuel injectors leaking
When you say it has no spark, but mention it has gas, Do you mean it cranks, but doesn't start? Or do you really know it doesn't have spark? # basic elements to combustion are spark, fuel and compression.
AnswerSorry, don't know were else ot post this. But it cranks over. Quite well, but there is no spark what so ever. I had someone try to start the car while i put a flat head screwdriver in the sleeve of the wire, and put it to a ground so see if it would spark. Nada.... It has almost a half a tank of band new '89 octane gas in the car. Need to change the oil, but i cant do that while its on frozen ground...(kills my back). if this helps any, the last time i started my car, i drove it for coffee, and when i pulled into my drive way, it bogged... rpm loss majorly. I tried to give it more gas with the accelerator, everytime i did, it lost more and more rpms, until it rolled into my side of the driveway, and died. started up for about 3 or secs after that (rough, but same deal....gas = lowered rpm), and hasn't started up since.... (since being only about a month or so.). It has 164,000 miles on it... but the 3.8 (3800 multiport injection) shouldn't have like any problems from what ive heard of them...thanks for any help, Bill AnswerI have a 91 Regal and had stalling problems with it. Did not know if it was the fuel or the electrical system. It appeared the car would die at a light or climbing up a hill mostly. I found out this one was the fuel filter that had never been changed or looked original. It was on the drivers side ahead of the rear wheel. Your problem could be the control module, under the 3 coils. You can take it off and have it tested at a auto electrical shop for free to see if it's good or not. Good luck-DAVE Answercould be your timing AnswerI REPLACED THE COIL , BASE AND TOP. IT WORKS FOR ME.....JAVIER
AnswerI have a 91 Buick regal limited 38000 and i had a problem with it not starting or staying running once i did get it started i replace plugs wires and coil packs and still nothing it was getting spark and i replaced fuel filter. after that it ran for about an hour fine then cut out again. anyways i took the black plate under the three coil packs to get tested (ignition control module) and it tested fine. well i know these icm's fail under heat not under cool conditions so i ran to the junkyark and happened to find an exact model match (no interchange possible for ICM's that i know of) and and now i hadve no prblems witht he car(new the icm was 160 bones but junkyard gave it to me for free because they didn't know what it was. hahaha morons. anyways just because a icm or coil tests ok that *may* still be the problem. good luck with the car repairs people and never give up. it will work eventually. and don't get raped by aq mechanic shop like me they charged me over 500 dollars and never fixed my car . i do all my own work now and save alot of money. beside its like the pharmecutical companys they are out there to make money not "cure" your problems. they is no money to made on a perfect working system albiet human or car.What type of freon in a 1991 buick regal?

What is the best way to remove the very hard to get at starter from a 91 Buick Regal 3.8 engine?
Best way is to remove the bolt in the top engine mount's. that will allow you access to pull the engin forward there is a seconday hole in the top engine mount that you can put the bolt into to hold engin ahead until repair is finished. Just takes a little muscle to tilt engin forward.
Please do not attempt to follow the instructions above. Pulling the engine forward as suggested is very dangerous and hard on the other mounts and transmission. I researched this in the Chilton's manual which recommended removing the right fan, the bolts holding the compressor in place, and opening the oil cooling lines. I was able to get the starter out without opening the oil cooling lines.
THIS IS A RELATIVLY EASY JOB.FIRST DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.THE STARTER IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR.ALL YOU NEED TO DO BESIDES UNBOLTING THE STARTER IS TO DISCONNECT THE TWO TRANNY COOLING LINES COMING OFF THE RADIATOR.THIS WILL GIVE ENOUGH ROOM TO WIGGLE THE STARTER IN AND OUT.YOU WILL LOSE SOME TRANNY FLUID, SO KEEP A CATCH UNDERNEATH AND REMEMBER TO REPLACE WHAT YOU WILL LOSE.THIS TOOK ME ABOUT 40 MINUTES TO COMPLETE.
just go to a junk yard and remove the panel on one of the cars there it's very easy pull two nuts and unscrew panel from door i just did it and was shocked on how easy it was
Perhaps moisture has worked into the headlight assembly and dulled the reflective surface. If the headlight assembly looks dulled, has any small cracks or you can see moisture inside, the assembly needs to be replaced. There are some good sources for after-market headlights and other auto-body repair parts that are far less expensive than dealerships and many are made by the same manufacturer that produced the original equipment.
Why does Check gage light keep coming on when i drive in my 1993 Buick Regal 3.8 custom?
It depends on what it is telling you to check. If it is telling you to check your oil or battery, then that's plain enough. If it is the ever-annoying Check Engine light, that's different. This light actually has very little to do with the engine; it is measuring the emissions system. The number one issue with this believe it or not is your gas cap is not on tight enough. Make sure your gas cap goes at least 3 clicks next time you fill up, and there's a decent chance it will clear. Or you could have a gobbed-up catalytic converter, so I'd hope for #1 Phil
