I have a 1996 Buick century this problem started in October of 07. When I start it the motor run rough and stalls it does this three times and than runs fine. I notice that this only happens when its warm outside all winter long this did not happen. Last fall I took it to the repair shop about this problem and they hooked the car up to the computer and that didn't come up any thing. But now that it is spring and the temp. Outside is warming up the problem is back

Have the fuel pressure regulator checked for signs of gas in the vacuum line and have it replaced if there is any sign of fuel in the line. This sounds like your problem

My daughters 95 Buick was doing this. It would be fine at night when it was cool. During the day it would die constantly, then start right back up. It ended up being the "Mass Air Flow Sensor". Apparently it's a VERY common problem with buicks around these years. Good luck. :-)
