Will crank over but wont start - 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

SOURCE: The windows in the 95 oldsmobile cutlass ciera won't work at all

maybe the wire is severed where the door (drver dr) pivots. thats what was wrong with mine. there is a rubber boot with crinkles in it that hold all the wires together. you can also try replacing the switch board that controls the wndws on the drvr dr. hope that helps.

I had a chevy celebrity that was throttle body also...went to leave a stop sign, light came on and car died and refused to run. We went to the junkyard and got a replacement throttle body for 20 dollars and installed it...it ran perfectly fine after that. Hoping your fix is as easy as ours was.

SOURCE: changed spark plugs and wires now car wont start

I know this might be obvious but the obvious is often the problem. Did you replace the coil wire that goes from your coil to the distributor cap? Also, double check to be sure that your wires are connected in the correct order. A little more clarification might help. Does it turn over? Does it just click? When you turn the ignition key then let off does the car clunk or make a wheezing sound?

ALL YOU NEED IS 3/8 RATCHET WITH A 5/8 SPARK PLUG SOCKET.YOU NEED EXTENSIONS AND UNIVERSAL JOINTS TO GET TO HARD TO REACH PLACES.YOU NEED A SPARK PLUG GAUGE.YOUR SPARK PLUG GAP SETTING WILL BE. 0.060 THAT WILL BE FOR THE 2.2 AND 3.1 ENGINES.
