Consumer Description

2000 BUICK REGAL STALLS WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 BUICK REGAL HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK AS I WAS DRIVING. THE ENGINE QUITS IN AS LITTLE AS FIVE MINUTES, BUT MIGHT TAKE LONGER, AND ALWAYS HAPPENS AS I AM DECELERATING (FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, APPLYING BRAKE). CRANKING CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FIRE, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP RUNNING. IT MIGHT TAKE UP TO TWENTY TRIES TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN. EN ROUTE TO MY MECHANIC, DRIVING SLOWLY AND GENTLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT STALL. THE MECHANIC ROAD TESTED THE CAR, AND MADE IT STALL. INITIALLY, ERROR CODES P0300, P0463, P1096, P0103 AND P0128 WERE READ. THE OLDER BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE POSITIVE CABLE SERVICED. THE ECM WAS REPROGRAMMED (COST: $100!), AND THE REGAL RAN WELL FOR A DAY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, IT BEGAN DYING AS BEFORE, AND WAS RETURNED TO THE SHOP. SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN IN HIS SHOP FOR FOUR DAYS, ENGINE IDLING WITH TEST EQUIPMENT ATTACHED. WHEN IT DIES, IT STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY, AND NO ERROR CODES ARE PRESENT. HE IS AT A LOSS. *TR
