The car starts and hesitates and almost dies if you do not keep your foot on the pedal, I had a Buick cant remember the year and had the same problem and it was the sensor inside the the front Passenger side wheel well; is there a sensor in the 1998 Buick Century at the same location.

Thank you for your time

Also clean throttle plate on both sides with choke cleaner and iac hole. It needs to be scanned and fuel pressure checked in order to find the hesitation if you have a bunch of codes then check battery for condition andload test.
