A Note on Vehicle Availability
If you are trying to buy a fuel pressure sensor for a 2006-2010 Buick Regal in the United States or Canada, it is important to know that this model was not sold in North America during those years. The fourth-generation Regal ended with the 2004 model year, and the nameplate was temporarily retired in this market. It was replaced by the Buick LaCrosse starting in 2005. The Buick Regal returned to North America with a completely redesigned fifth generation for the 2011 model year.
Verify Your Vehicle Model
If you own a Buick sedan from the 2006-2010 period, it is most likely a Buick LaCrosse or a Buick Lucerne. Please check the emblems on your vehicle and your ownership documents to confirm your exact model before searching for parts.
Identifying Your Regal
It is common for vehicle owners to be off by a few years on their model. Here’s how to identify which Regal you might have:
- 4th Generation (1997-2004): If your Regal is from the early 2000s, it belongs to the fourth generation. Parts for a 2004 model will not fit a 2011 model.
- 5th Generation (2011-2017): If you have a Regal from the 2010s, it likely starts with the 2011 model year. This generation was based on a European design and shares no parts with the earlier generation.
About the Fuel Pressure Sensor on Other Regal Models
For Regal models where the part is applicable (pre-2005 and post-2010), the fuel pressure sensor is a critical component. It monitors the pressure of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends this information to the car's computer, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM uses this data to make sure the engine gets the right amount of fuel. On later direct-injection models (2011+), there may be both a low-pressure and a high-pressure sensor.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why can't I find parts for my 2007 Buick Regal?
The Buick Regal was not sold in North America between the 2005 and 2010 model years. Any listings you might see are likely for the Chinese market version, which uses different parts, or are simply incorrect. You likely have a Buick LaCrosse or Lucerne.
Was there a recall for the 2006-2010 Buick Regal?
No, there were no recalls for these model years in North America because the vehicle was not sold here. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) does not have records for a 2006-2010 Buick Regal.
I have a Buick sedan from 2008. What model is it?
Your 2008 Buick sedan is most likely a LaCrosse or a Lucerne, which were the primary sedans offered by Buick in North America at that time.
What's the difference between a fuel pressure sensor and a fuel pressure regulator?
While they work together, they are different parts. The sensor monitors pressure and reports it to the computer. The regulator controls the pressure. On some modern vehicles, the regulator function is managed electronically by a fuel pump control module based on readings from the sensor.
