These cars had a very common problem with a sensor that is mounted behind the crankshaft pulley. It is difficult for the home mechanic to change as special tools are required, but not that bad at a shop. About 200 bucks. It is called the "crankshaft position sensor". If you have this replaced, I'm certain your intermittent shut down will be fixed.

Same problem ..hopefully some expert will answer my questions.....My mechanic has spent over 10 hours of troubleshooting my cruise control for a 1995 olds 88 royale ls. Everything (including voltage test...

some cruise controll systems use the center high mount stop lighy [third brake light] as an input for the cruise control if its not working the cruise wont either. all fault diagnosis would conclude that if everything checks ok then the computer is at fault. but i would dought all checks ok. a skilled mechanic should be able to diagnose the problem in 1.5 hours and that is a generous time alotment.10 hours is extreme. so mabee a second diagnosis should be performed

A 1989 olds royal brougham (88)with new battery,

I would check the crankshaft and camshaft sensors. I don't think the connections are wrong, they really only go on 1 way.

My 94 olds 88 royale noisy front end on bumps and holes

It is time for struts (Shock absorbers) or more, have it checked by a suspension specialist, cars get dangerous when they have worn front end parts, not something to mess around with, and your car it at an age,,, Hope this helps, stay safe!
