It sounds like you are having a problem with your 1992 Oldsmobile 88. The issue you described, where the car is not accelerating and stalling out, could be caused by a number of things. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the fuel system. A faulty fuel pump or clogged fuel filter could cause the engine to stall out. Check the fuel pump and fuel filter and replace them if necessary.
2. Check the ignition system. A faulty spark plug or ignition coil could cause the engine to misfire and stall out. Check the spark plugs and ignition coils and replace them if necessary.
3. Check the fuel pressure. Low fuel pressure can cause the engine to stall out. Check the fuel pressure and make sure it is within the manufacturer's specifications.
4. Check the engine temperature. If the engine is overheating, it could cause the engine to stall out. Check the engine temperature and make sure it is within the normal range.

I recommend having a mechanic diagnose the problem in order to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate repair. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. That is the most likely but first try moving the plug and wire from 3 to 1 and put 1 in 3. See if the fault moves. https://www.google.com/search?q=1992+Oldsmobile+Eighty+Eight.+no+spark+on+cylinders+3+%26+6 ..

Check the fuel pressure.

its not your crank sensor the problem is more then likely in your tranny your tranny needs some attention

have you got a good spark- take out a plug and lay it plugged into the lead on top of the engine so the tip is earthed (touching the engine) and crank it over - DO NOT TOUCH THE PLUG WHILST CRANKING AS IT GENERATES MASSIVE ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE.............. if it sparks its probably a fuel problem still and not ignition/electrical.

Old and tired engine. Do a compression check.

Could be a problem with ect--wiring circuit--instrument cluster. I'd have to double check your temp gage by using an infra-red temp gun on your engine. I can't say replacing the ect will help anything? The location is circle with a c in the picture, note the vin.

The diagram is very helpful from top to bottom coils 63 52 14 and cylinder firing order while looking at the belt facing the belt from the front right hand side 1 to the back side 2 to the front middle three to the back middle 4 to the front farthest 5 in the back fArthest 6 .

Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive ? You need a good jack , a floor jack would be best . Do you have Jack stands an a floor jack ? You need to get it up in the air a little so you can get under it . You will need to put the jack under the transmission an jack it up just enough to take the pressure off the mount . Un bolt the old one , put the new one in bolt it an torque it to spec.

Buried deep inside the back housing of the generator. GM designed this pile to not be worked on although there are now repair parts available for it. There is no way to test the regulator and you will likely destroy the diode assembly before you get it apart. Also, a lot of trouble is caused by the huge voltage spikes these units develop. It's very common to go through four to six of these in the life of the vehicle. The best way to reduce the repeat failures is to replace the battery at the same time. It will work fine in older cars and trucks, but as they age, they lose their ability to dampen those spikes.

Could be plug fouling out from leaky fuel injector flooding engine when you shut it down, then clears after running some, however, running hot is not a good sign and could point to head gasket leak. Many other possibilities too, but I would start with examination of spark plugs.

Intake manifold normally has firing order cast in, or get a shop manual. The hard part can be finding which should be #1, especially if you have had the distributor removed. Use compression gauge to find TDC compression stroke on #1 and see where rotor is pointing.

Lift motor by loosening motor mount to access

The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. The fuel tank must be removed from the vehicle in order to access the pump.
