Loses power going up hill and jerks on hills sometimes

We are thinking it is an inside thing with the transmission as well, but we are not to sure because we cannot get a mechanic out here to look at it.

Yes, because we've gotten the car to move a little bit after putting in some transmission cleaner, but it's like the car loses power when it gets hot. There's plenty of coolant, so we know that's not the reason. So what we're going to try sometime -- maybe later today -- is just run it a little bit to loosen it up and we'll see what happens.

1988 Buick Regal Limited. 2.8

When I first was given the care from my inlaws the only problem was the gas pedal was really hard to depress. No big deal. Well, a couple of weeks later I hit the gas and the pedal went in quick and the car started to hesitate and sputter untill I let off. It did that the whole way home. A day later I started it up and it ran fine. Well, about a week ago I drove it and it did the pedal studder thing again but this time it died on me when I pushed the gas and after it would spudder, and now I cant even leave my driveway. I'm hoping its and easy fix, I was told to check the fuel rail pressure and the fuel pump, so I thought I'd get some expert advice before I dove into anything.

I would reeeeaaaly appreciate the advice its the wife and my only car. Thanks guys, :cry:

noah.

To check the fuel pressure is not hard at all you just neet to find the valuve on the rails and press in the pin on it while someone turns the key on if it shots up and stays constant then its not the pump. Now when you were driving it was only under acceleration I would say one of your coils have gone bad.

I've got someone looking at it Monday. He's pretty sure the filter just needs cleaned.

I replaced the 1,3,5 sparks plugs and wiring and now the care seems to shake more than ever. It has some power problems as well, when I step on the gas it will sometimes keep the same RPM till it goes to a lower gear or will jerk up and down in power. I have hecked the 3 spark plugs i replaced and they looks like the are fine. I did get a higher quality spark plug from auto zone which isn't the tranditional one.

New Ones

Old Ones

I also replaed 1,3,5's wiring with better duralast wiring.

I also forgot to add that it is now idling at a higher rpm.

It is the coil, I just had it tested and it has gone bad. Thanks

1998 Buick regal has no power to the fuse block for several circuits. Heated mirror, cruise control, hvac and low blower circuits are all dead. Naturally, my cruise control, air conditioning system, and low beam headlights do not work.

My windshield wipers just stopped working, and the fuse tests good. How do I test the motor? I also just got around to replacing the ignition switch, (after the windshield wipers quit), and that did not fix the problem. Is there another problem that could cause this problem?

40 amp fuse checks out ok. There is not power from the orange wire at the ignition switch.

Bad ignition switch?

I did run a jumper wire from the cigarette lighter directly to the hvac fuse and the compressor still doesn't cycle on. (I still need to check the freon level to see if it isn't a low pressure switch.)

1989 Buick regal custom 3.1 I just had the catalytic converter and muffler changed 2 days ago now it sounds worse than it did prior and has loss of power and bad rattling noise
