I have a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser with a 3.3 liter V 6 engine; I seem have a problem in my fuel supply system, which is occurring with grater frequency. I am getting no codes to aide in diagnosing my problem. It's like my fuel injectors are not delivering fuel to the cylinders for just a millisecond causing my engine to die and resume operation, unless when it is at idle speeds where it sometimes cuts out completely. This problem is intermittent, sometimes it occurs in rapid succession, and some times with longer intervals in between. I have tried a new fuel pump relay, I replaced the fuel filter, I have run gas treatment / fuel injector cleaner through it, this only seemed to make the problem worse, I even tried changing the mass air flow censor because it seems to mimic a problem I had with another Olds I once owed. My question is could the fuel pump be going out, do these fuel pump's tend to die a slow death? Do you have any other suggestions as to what the problem might be if not the fuel pump?

Location for the control shift solenoid for a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass cruiser wagon

no VIN told
no engine told
no transmission told (matches engine)
so there is no answer. really. so I toss dice
1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass cruiser wagon. USA spec car? or not>? export.
USA cruiser has 3 engines
2.5L (L4)
2.8L V6
3.3L v6
i will roll dice and pick 3.3 V6,sorry not doing all 3 .
it uses 4T60ACM box, GM made. box. common too.
T= transverse box, FWD. 4speed, load rated 60 (weak)
this box shifts by mech tail end GOVERNOR
and by vac modulator and TV dentent cable.
both, 3 device set shift points on this hydramaic.


I guess you think this box is electronic shifted via TCM
that it> ?
it does have a TCC lockup solenoid only
ECU runs that, no TCM there.

to fix any car, learn 2 things,
what engine is there and the real name of the transmission,
the GM car as an RPO tag, and tells both. in xyz codes for sure. GM this is a great feature.

then post symptoms all, good and bad.
R and Low ok
but drive will not upshift from 1 >2
or shifts and flares. or what./?
aka
700R4 see the book on the box, super good book

My 91' Oldsmobile Cutlass cruiser is not starting. The engine is turning over but not firing up. It sounds like it is out of gas but it has 3/4 tank

Either fuel or spark is missing. Pull #1 plug wire and insert a small screwdriver into the wire end and holding screwdriver handle place metal portion next to but not touching any bolt on motor. When turning engine, you should see spark jump from screwdriver to bolt. If so, you have spark. Check fuel, either on the fuel rail by pushing shader valve (Looks like fitting on tire). With key on, should emit fuel. Keep face clear. This will identify which system you need to address.

Is it vapor locking or not? All else shows okay.

vapor lock just doesn't happen on newer cars that are fuel injected like yours, it was carburetor equipped cars that vapor locked
