you need to test system for codes, test fuel injectors they must be over 12 ohms but not over 16 ohms. after you test the injectors, get back with me and we will go from there. also find the ignation module it is mounted under the coils get the part # for me so i can look up all the base timing for the engine.
My Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with the 2.5 will not stay running
What you should do when it stalls is check to see if your loosing spark at the plugs.If you are then you probably have a bad ignition module.It is located in the rear of the motor.The ignition coils are mounted on it.One other possibility is the pcm.It is located under the dash on the passengers side.You can get a used one at most salvage yards.You will need to get the number from the old pcm.You will also have to remove the old prom from the old pcm and install it in the one you get for replacement.Hope this helps.Good luck.
Is there a fuel pump
fuel pump is in the tank & can be heard for 2 seconds when key is turned on. there is no
reset but by listening at gas cap you can hear if pump runs or not. spray carberator cleaner in
throtle body(carberator) to see if it helps with starting. there is a test port to check fuel pressure if you think its a fuel problem & carb cleaner helps it start
Can you show me a diagram of which spark plug
Standing in front of the car
looking at the the coil packs, there are three of them. From left to
right, the first coil pack is 1 & 4, the second coil pack is 6 &
3, and the third coil pack is 2 & 5. Now standing in front of
the engine, the three cylinders in front of the radiator are 2,4
& 6 starting from the belt side of engine and the ones in the back off engine are 1,3 & 5.
I have a 1998 Oldsmobile
First I suggest check fuel pump pressure and some clean job in the fuel system (filter and other components). Some "check engine" light turn on there? Try to scanned the computer to know if any fault code stored there.
Other choice, a bad crank sensor could very well be the cause but since you need this car badly, you would save yourself a lot of guess work by going to a dealer and let them look at it. Once they call you to tell you what the problem is, ask them to guarantee the repair and that if it's not what they say it is that they will fix it no matter what the problem turns out to be.

This means there is broken linkage inside of steering wheel, this is preventing the wheel from pushing the turn signal lever back to a neutral position.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!
As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you check the vacuum lines. If you have a worn out or disconnected vacuum lines these issues can occur. I'm suspecting the MAF sensor too. Before proceeding on replacement, please remove the throttle body and clean it with a carburetor cleaner till it's clear of carbon. Carbon deposits can make irregularities on the air flow.
If the problem still persists then go with the MAF sensor replacement. Hopefully, cleaning the throttle body resolves the problem to cut the cost.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
