1993 buick skylark stalls

When the car is cold it runs rough and stalls. Once warmed up, after 5 min or so it runs great. Have replaced MAS and IAC as it was stalling every time I accelerated. Now it's fine when warm but still stalls and chugs when cold.

Is the check engine light on ?
It sounds like the engine temp sensor is not right, but if that were true you should have a check engine light and a code for the sensor.
Have you checked fuel pressure ?

    Thanks Stephen. No check engine light however the llight does work. I am going to replace the engine temp sensor and see what that does. Yes, fuel pressure was tested as well as wires. Thanks for your advice!

SOURCE: Car starts then stalls once the engine warms up.

You need new timing belt and gears. Buicks gears are made of plastic, and become a big glob. Nothing for the timing belt to grab onto.

SOURCE: 1990 Buick Century 3.3L Check Engine Light comes on, stalls.

Need to check for fault codes. Possibly a faulty sensor causing the fuel system to run rich or lean.

Mercedes 300sl intermittently runs rough

Change your MAS Mass Air Sensor this will exhibit the problem you have if it is dirty. You can try cleaning it, yet it is normally easier just to replace it
