Just wondering what the value of my 1988 Olds Cutlass Ciera L4 coupe is worth. thanks

I really needs checking against the spark plugs you have chosen? .045" is about right for most.

Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this answer).

Try taking the car to Autozone or similar business for a free scan of your computer (your car is a pre-OBD2 system and your mechanic may have a scanner that reads only post-'96 autos). The scan will usually only point to problem areas, not specific components. That's where the mechanic comes in with specific tests. Good luck!

You didn't tell us the engine size, so here are all three options...

2.5 liter L4 VIN "U"

2.8 liter V-6 VIN "W"

3.8 liter V-6 VIN "3"


With Type I Ignition
With Type II Ignition

Check the prrimary and secondary resistance on your coil. Also check the resistance of the plug wires and plug gap.

The speed sensor is located behind the dash.

To find the relays you have to have someone turn the key on and off multiple times. While they are doing this you should hear the relays clicking away. Their will be at least two of them, they will be little black boxes about an insh across an an inch and a half long with wiresgoing in to the bottem of them.

Please contact me if your problem prisists.

Thanks, Charlie
