1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
3. If necessary for access, remove the splash shield.
4. If equipped, unfasten the flywheel inspection cover bolts and remove the cover.
5. Label and detach the electrical connectors from the starter.

1. It may allow more room it you remove the right side cooling fan.
2. Remove the starter-to-engine bolts, then carefully lower the starter from the vehicle.

SOURCE: location of oil filter in 1997 oldsmobile delta 88 LS?

Well, in my 1989 Olds 88, the oil filter is just above the right swingarm for the wheel. It's an interesting reach from underneath, and the oil drips directly onto the frame of the car, but that's where the filter should be.

I believe they use the same 3800 (3.8L V6) engine up through 1997 or 1998...so you should be able to find it there. Hope that helps!

The problem sounds like the solenoid that locks up the torque converter. This will not set a code or turn on the check engine light. The car will restart each time after it stalls. This will happen when you are comming to a stop or turning a corner. At times, you can start the car in neutral but when you put it in drive or reverse, it will again stall.

This can also happen after you have driven the car and parked it. When you restart the car, it may stall when you try to drive it because the solenoid is still locked from when you pulled into the parking spot.

Try to free it up by driving the car about 32 mph in drive (drive with the square around the D) where the overdrive and lock up torque converter will work. At 32 - 34 mph, pull the shifter down to the next Drive (D without the box around it) and you should feel the bump of the torque converter unlocking. Then put it back into the upper drive location and you will feel it lock up agian. Repeat this about 20 times and see if this does not help. These can start becomming mechanically "Sticky" and cycling them 10 - 30 times can help.

There is also a 6 wire connector on the forward (front of the car) side of the transmission. This connector might be dirty. Clean it with electrical contact cleaner (spray type) and reconnect it to the transmission. This connector is probably not the problem but worth lookign at anyway.

There is also a small port in the valve body of the transmission that if plugged, it can cause this problem. I feel it is most likely a "Sticky" soleniod that locks up the torque converter and makes the car stall just like comming to a stop in a standard transmission car without pushing in the clutch.

Good luck,

SOURCE: GM air ride suspension compressors interchangeable?

I'm not 100 percent sure but I don't think the compressors are compatible... The ones from 95 and earlier were mounted under the hood and used a different architecture. The ones from 96 and up are under the right rear bumper. The two hoses on your 97 pump- one is for intake going into the compressor, and one is for exhaust coming out of the head... So it seems to me that capping it won't work. I didn't know that the earlier ones didn't have a hose coming out of the head.
