Please help me I have a 1994 buick regal it was a gift from my late grandmother for the most part it has been a great car. About 3 yrs ago I would be driving along and my car would stop while on the freeway not a way you want to live. I have taken my car to several shops the dealers I have tried everyone. Finally my car does not stay running after it gets warm the car stops and will not start again. A man says he wants to buy my car for 200 but I love this car I need it to run. I have replaced the spark plugs and wires, I have changed my oil religiously 2500 miles because the car runs best at that mileage. I have replaced the computer and the coils and every fuse in my car. I need help the dealer has no clue and it is getting expensive quick. I need my car to support my family. Thank you

Hello, all I could do is the basic tests. When the vehicle refuses to start, maybe you can get it to stall in the drive way. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Also check for codes. You start with the basics and go from there.
