Have you checked compression on more than one cyclinder? I once broke a camshaft on an old truck and it died instantly. Things looked normal at two of the cylinders but not on the others.

My 1988 old cutlass ciera turns over but won't start I have fuel pressure and spark will run roughly for a sec if u pour gas in throttle body any ideas I'm stumped

Check fuel injector fuses. With the key one you should have power to the injector plug. You could have (gas) fouled out spark plugs. Or timing jumped.

How to replace fuel injectors on a 1988 olds cutlass ciera v6

There is a You Tube Video you can watch
on GM Throttle Body disassembly

I would mail them away for testing & ultra-sonic
cleaning

Not likely the injectors are causing the dieing

Check for a worn timing chain & vacuum leaks

What is the value on an 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra with a rebuilt V-6 engine and less than 100k miles? Am having to decide whether to put over $1k in repairs into it and then import it into Canada with...

Being an 88 it is probably worth about 1k-1500. But if you get it running, and it lasts even one year, then the lack of a car payment would be well worth it. Your net savings could easily double what you have in it. I am driving a 1992 pontiac sunbird which granted I do all of my own work but at 300,000 miles, and nine years of service, the car owes me nothing.

The 2.8/3.1 V6 is a great engine.
