Turns over good hard to start - 1998 Oldsmobile 88

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    We need more info. It could be not getting enough fuel. It could be weak spark or slightly out of time. Maybe a bad sensor. Please give as much info as you can

Very hard to start in the morning.Has new battery, plugs and plugwires and engine turns over good but it takes 8-12 trys before it starts. After it does start if you touch the gas peddle it dies. After it...

Fuel injected? My 87 Porsche and 89 Alpha Romeo have Bosch fuel injection system (the best). They both have a cold start injector driven by the onboard computer. Computers hardly ever fail. But the sensor that tells the computer that the engine is cold can fail or the cold start injector can fail or be dirty. Please go to your autoparts store and get a repair manual, best $ 25 you will ever spend. Good Luck!

Car dies going down highway hard to start afterwards it is a 1997 gs eclipse. what could be causing this

assuming the starter is good and the engine turn over fine but will not fire or run. when the car die, check why is it so hard to start. check if you getting sparks and fuel, no sparks check coil and wires,and if both are good than the cam sensor is bad, no fuel, check the fuel pump, pump good check the crank sensor.

Intermintant backfire after hittig bump hard to start poor miladge

Almost sounds like ignition problem... Hitting bump causing it to short out (turn off) for a second then restart can produce a backfire & hard to start. Bad gas (water in it) will cause backfire and hard to start. I would start with checking all plug and wire connections, putting in a good gas additive and water dryer. I your are injected I would Clean them up also... Try these out and go from there...
