Have the wire replaced by a certified mechanic with oem replacement parts
Where is the starter located in the 1991 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight?
Check the power voltages at the starter with a voltmeter in the starter there is 2 wires one small coming from the ignition switch and one big one coming from the positive side of your battery with the meter put the negative lid on the negative side of the battery now disconnect the small wire from the starter and make this wire to contact the red lid of the meter put your voltmeter in dc and select the setting for 20volts on your meter after you have make all of this have some one to turn the key to start and ask him to try to crack your car if you read 0 volts on your meter then you have a problem with the small wire coming from the ignition switch if your meter reads 12- to 14 volts then is your stater sometimes if you hit your stater with a hammer they do start so try to do all of this and you can find your problem thanks and good luck

The battery is fully charged,When I turn the key there is no clicking sound. If i bypass the solenoid the starter will turn the engine over but the car will not start.
At first my car would not start. A mechanic found after testing the starter and my alternator that it was my wiring from my ignition. So he fixed that and now my car starts but only stays on for about 3 sec. and shuts off.
He was trying to reset my ignition by following some reprogramming system but still would not stay on. He feels it might be something with the computer.
Okay, question, when you tried to start it this time, why wouldn't it start? Did it make a clicking sound? Was it turning over? Did it make any sound like the battery was almost dead?
