1988 Buick Regal voltage regulator

Hi, Joe. My car won't even make it the block & a half to the Auto Zone. I tested the altenator with a multi meter when it was reving up & down during warm-up. The volts were bouncing up & down with the engine rev's. Anywhere from 14.67 - 13.94 I think were the readings I got. I noticed if I put the heater on though the engine levels out alot & takes alittle longer to stall, so I don't think it's the voltage regulator any more. Thankx for ur help though.

Hi Joe, thanx 4 get'n back 2 me. The SES lite hasn't come back on before it stalls since I replaced the MAF. It just stalls after 8 min of up & down idling. It always starts back up & repeats the cycle til it stalls. Imagine 2 kids bounc'n in ur car to music for 1-2 seconds, then stop for 1-2 seconds, then bounce again. That's the up/down idle before I but on the heater. After the heater is on, imagine only one small kid bounc'n the way the 2 kids did, that's about the difference. I noticed 4 months ago before the the stalling started, that when the 'CLUST' fuse is pulled the blower motor blows air. I think the cars possessed. I don't know what the fuel pressure is, I don't have the $150 Auto Zone wants to borrow the gauge, or the $20 to buy a cheap one. I hav'nt checked the cat conv, I don't know how & never thought it would need check'n. I jus got done testing the MAP, the A & C terminals have the right 5.0 volts. When I did B & A terminals it should'v been 0.5 volts (at sea level) but I got a 4.35 reading. I'm in Vegas & it's about 2,200ft above sea level so I'm at a loss at what the volts should be. Auto Zone test instuctions never said what would be wrong if the B/A terminals hadn't tested in range. I took off the vac lines from the throttle body & tried to gently blow in then out to see if they were clogged. The EGR was clear & MAP too I think. The fuel Pressure regulator vac line was tight, I pulled very little air in/out the line. Same with the vac line next to it towards the firewall. I finally found where the PCV valve's hidden. Backside of engine, below & under plenum, under all the lines 4'' from firewall. It hadn't been changed in 2 years, I couildn't it for the year I've had the car. Im taking a break from try'n to put the hose back on the PCV, there's no room & the engine is rotated forward. I don't know how far it should go forward so it's only as far as I need to put my hands back there. That ain't far, I'm female so my hands are small. My next step is to pull the #1 spark plug to see how it looks deposits wise. I got a bottle of Lucas injector cleaner, i'm go'n to double the dose in my tank. Maybe it's the injectors. If I put my foot on the gas the car stalls - oh yea! Here's another weird one, I took the relay out for the fuel pump to release the pressure in the line & the car kept get'n gas, as if I never took out the relay. I was even able to step on the gas pedal as much & as hard as I wanted & the car didn't stall..... I'm tell'n ya Joe the car IS POSSESSED! She's a great car, never a problem til a week after the 1yr date I bought it. I drove it 1300miles from Washington state to Vegas last Oct. 1 w/o a tune up & it only cost about $160 in gas @ $4.25 a gallon. Plus the car was LOADED to the max w/my stuff. Here's a pic of my car just before I left Washington & moved back to Vegas. I wanted to show my friends how high the trucks are in WA state next to my car. Beautiful state, but to quiet for me.

When I took out the PCV valve it was covered with dirt enclusted thick black oil. It had to be at least 1/4 inch thick. I put in the new 1 & added Lucas fuel injector cleaned to the gas. It started even stronger & at a few points during the warm up u can hear her reving up the engine trying to stay alive. She sounded healthier, but still stalled. I'm going to start it up again tomorrow & leave my foot on the gas pedal the whole time as she warms up so the injector cleaner has a better chance of working. Ill let u know how it turns out. Also I'm go'n to call Auto Zone on the corner & ask them if I can manage to get the car to them could they please test the fuel pressure for me. They know the problems I've been having the last 2 months. I bought all the parts from them.

Thanks. I put the Lucas fuel injector cleaner in & bounced the back bumper alot to mix up the injector cleaner & gas in the tank good. Started the car with my foot resting on the gas pedal & she rev'ed good & stronge for 3 & 1/2 min steady. Then died. I tried start'n it a few more times again but it died in a second. After it kept dying It had a code 44, lean exhaust, I cleared the code & went back 2 days later to start it again. She nows dies in a second if I rest my foot on the gas pedal when starting it, but will idle slightly rough for 3-4 seconds if I start it & don't rest my foot on the gas pedal. I re-checked the Trouble codes & it shows none. I think put'n in that tank full of high octane gas last time from always using the low grade octane has losened up years of sludge in the tank & now I got that sludge residue in my fuel line & in my injectors. What do U think? Do u have any sugestions besides using set'n it ablaze & using it to tossed marshmellows? LOL
* I forgot, after the code 44, lean exhaust, I had a code 54, fuel pump circuit, I didn't do anything to fix it jus cleared it & it never came back, but I still have the almost instant dying problem. What do I check first in a code 54?
