I have a 92 olds 98 regency. Just got the head gasket.intake manifold and valve cover replaced. It runs smooth but as soon as the temp gauge hits the normal temp.. the engine cuts out..could that be from a clogged fuel filter?

SOURCE: lower intake manifold gasket leaking 02 Olds Silhouette

This is basicly a very time consuming job rather than a physically hard one to complete. In order to replace the gasket you must remove the intake plenum,throttle body, and misc. vacuum hoses. The wiring harness connections must also be disconnected. Finally the intake manifold is exposed. The bolts holding the manifold to the block are removed exposing the leaking gasket. After removing the push rods and placing them in the correct order to be replaced the gasket and sealants can be removed. Finally replace everything in reverse order. Be sure to consult a GM manual for correct bolt torch specs. The correct specs for the manifold bolts usually come with the gasket. Make sure to change your oil a few times after this job in case any coolant entered the block. Also,change the thermostat and the oil seal on the distributor half shaft cap while you have everything off. Good Luck

SOURCE: fuel pump is out on 1988 olds regency sprayed

to replace the pump the gas tank must be removed, this is a straight forward job and only requires common hand tools, it is held in place by 2 steel straps and the filler neck assembly, u will need a floor jack to drop it down out of the car, the car will need to be at least 3 feet off the ground to remove the tank.

How to remove/replace the Valve Cover Gaskets on a New Beetle car?
Replace the valve cover gasket if the valve cover gaskets are leaking or if they're worn. The procedure is as follows:--
1) First of all let the motor cool down if the car was recently driven. Then remove the air intake boot.The air intake boot ios attached to the engine's throttle body.
2) Carefully disconnect the throttle cable , hoses and electrical connectors located on the upper intake manifold.
3) Then disconnect the hard pipe that is connected to the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve.
4) The EGR valve is located beneath the upper intake manifold.
5) Then remove the bolts from both the upper intake manifold and the manifold support bracket.
6) Now the upper intake main fold and lower intake manifold both have got loose as you removed the nut.
7) After that remove the upper intake manifold from the lower intake manifold. Carefully place clean rags over the intake runners to prevent anything from falling into the intake system.
8) Then you will have to disconnect the crank case breather valve on the valve cover.
9) Then remove the bolts from the valve cover and remove the reinforcing straps.
10) Then remove the camshaft belt cover and the dust shield from the back of the camshaft sprocket.
11) Now carefully remove the valve cover. Properly clean the old gasket material with gasket remover.
12) You can install a new gasket in the reverse procedure of removal.


This will help. good luck.

My 91 oldsmobile 98 runs rough in idle but when driving run smooth.
Rough idle is a very common problem on 4 cylinders, but I believe the 98 Regency has a 6 cylinder in it, right?

Sometimes the coil packs get iffy, and sometimes the EGR Valve gets a leak in it causing a rough idle.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed, it can change things so that the engine seems to run smoothly.

However, I would look for codes to see if anything intermittent is occurring in the engine that may need attention.

The OBD-I scanner can help to diagnose the problem, if anything is out of specifications on the engine in question.

The owner will have to find a technician that has such a scanner.

My olds is constantly overheating even though i changed the thermostat do i have to now change the head gasket?
things to check
1 coolant level is FULL
2 is the temp. gauge jerky when it moves if so you have air in the cooling system
3 check make sure the COOLING FANS ARE WORKING
4 remove the PCV VALVE front valve cover and see if there is a WHITE ISH COLORED GOO ON IT if so the INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS THE LIKELY CAUSE
5 if all that is good then jack up the vehicle and slide under and look at the BACK CYLINDER HEAD SEE IF THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING OR COOLANT STAINS if so then the HEAD GASKET IS THE CAUSE
hope this was help full
good luck

Temp gauge and gas gauge not working
I had the same problem with my 2001 Pontiac Montana and the intake manifold gasket. This is a major problem with these 3.4L engines, if you are in the states I'm pretty sure there is a class action law suite against GM for this. I had my manifold gasket replaced and it was about $1000 CAD. You need to get your vehicle looked at right away as this could cause major engine damage, coolant will leak into the engine and soon enough you will be replacing that too. Good Luck
