I have an 1988 Buick Regal Custom that will not start. Why would it be doing this?
The engine will kick over when started but then immediately dies again.

Ive had my 88 Regal Limited 31 yrs its a wonderful auto. Good on gas, dependable, and I get complements ever where I drive . Vinyl burgundy top, universal speedometer, disc brakes front and back very rare in 1988.

Kind of quick. Looked like nothing special. Had a bunch of issues mechanically: Radiator, Fuel Pump, Front Shocks. Got about 14-18 mpg average. Too big to stop effectively. I threw a connecting rod going 115 for a half hour straight. The front seats were more comfy than my sofa though. I slept in that driver's seat more than a few times.May 11, 2010

nothing really its a great car that lasted through out the years, it has a ton of power, the appearance is most outgoing and strong, the car is fun to drive cuz of the horse power and the sleak looks.Sep 03, 2009

Well, it takes a beating and just keeps going.
There are faster cars out there... hell, there are faster bicycles out there. But this car gets the job done. Not necessarily fun to drive or high quality, but it is low maintenance and inconspicuous.
Acceleration: 0-60 on a good day.
Braking: It stops... eventually.
Handling: Comparable to that of a zeppelin.Jan 28, 2009

What users have asked
My 1988 buick regal won't start. Was hesitating then stoped took plug wire off it started and ran for a minute then quit.
Replaced plugs& wires,fuel filter, coils are getting spark, getting fuel in tester, getting right preasure. Almost turns over but won't start. Checked fuses, relays and pump is coming on. Why won't it start? Clog in injector or fuel line? That's what I'm gonna check next
