How do we replace the ignition lock on a 1990
Make sure the key itself is not worn.If it is good then you need a steering wheel puller to remove the steering wheel and to get to the ignition cylinder.You also need a lock plate compressor tool to remove the lock ring on the lock plate.The turn signal switch has to be pulled out of the way to get to the bolt that holds the cylinder in the column.Once the cylinder is out you can have it repaired at a dealership.They have the tools for repairing ignition cylinders and you don`t have to get new keys.As long as it is not to worn out.Hope this helps.Good luck.
Need a diagram of how a serptine belt is installed
Click on the following free direct Link. It has the Serpentine Belt Diagram and Tensioner location for your 1990 Oldsmobile Ciera, depending on your size 2.5L Engine options (AC/No AC, etc.).
GENERAL/Standard Rules to Removal the Serpentine Belt with a Tensioner:
A. Find the Tensioner(s). (See Diagrams on Link)
B. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool, Or Wrench OR Ratchet, Rotate/Move the Tensioner USING THE AVAILABLE NUT (on the Pulley or Arm Base) OR the OPENING (3/8ths or 1/2 inch square opening) rotating the Tensioner Pulley/Arm - moving it away from contact with the belt and towards the area where the belt is not in contact with the Tensioner Pulley. The Tensioner is spring loaded, and is hard to rotate/move.
C. Remove the loosened belt off one of the other more easily accessed Pulleys.
D. DO NOT quickly release the Tensioner, but gently allow the Tensioner to rest in its closed position.
Standard Rules for Installing the Serpentine Belt with Tensioners:
a. Pick a Pulley that is most easily accessed. This will usually be on top. This will be the last Pulley that the belt will go on.
b. Using the Diagram: Install the new Serpentine Belt on the remainder of the Pulleys....over, under, left right.
c. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool or Wrench or Ratchet Tool: Rotate/Move the Tensioner Pulley/Arm "away" from Belt contact area on the Tensioner. This spring is pretty hard and with a new belt, it will be even harder to install. Rotate/Move this to as-close to the maximum allowed inorder to have enough slack in the belt to get it up and over the last pulley.
d. Using your other hand - Pull the Belt up and over the Last remaining Pulley.
e. Before releasing the pressure on the Tensioner, visually inspect the remainder Pulleys and the Belts' Positioning on them.Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.Com!

Hood will not open, latch stuck
Have someone push down hard on the hood,in the front where the
latch is, while somebody pulls on the release in the car. Sometimes
this helps get it open. Once it's open, spray the entire latch mechanism with WD-40 or something similar to unstick it. Good luck.
Driver side windows don`t work
Do you hear anything when you hit the button? If you don't hear a thing,
in either side, you may just have a blown fuse. Check the owners manual for the fuse diagram to check the power window fuse.
I have just purchased a 1990 Oldsmobile ciera for
Hi. Remove and check fuel filter. Replace. They're cheap. You should be able to blow freely through the old one. If not, the fuel pump has probably gone bad from working itself to death pushing fuel through the clogged filter. The pump overheats and when you shut if off it locks up until the gasoline in the tank cools it back down. Then it will start up and get you home. There are a lot of other things it could be, but this seems to be to lions share of failures. Nobody changes the fuel filters as regular maintaince and they should. To be reasonably sure, before you first start it have a friend listen to the fuel tank fill with the cap off. Turn the key to on, not start, just on. He/she should hear a distinct buzzing for about 2 secs. from the filler. Start up and drive the required distance for failure. When you go to start back up, repeat the test. If there is no buzzing when you turn on the key(again, only to on) the pump is overheated. If it sounds the same, it is a different problem. You didn't say if the problem always occured. Sometimes, if the tank is full it will cool off quicker. On the fuel filter; a lot of times you will find a new one already on there. That's because someone already tried it. This is particularly the case if you've just purchased the car as you have. It can still be the pump. Do the old listen test. If it passes that test, it could be a ECU problem or a group of other things that don't fail that often.
1 want to pull off a harmonic balancer off a
if your just pulling it off to change the front seal. all you need to do is remove the belts off of the accs. then remove the bolts out of the balancer and use a puller to remove it. it will stay in time. the timing gear has a key on the crank to hold it in postion.
No heat from 1990 olds ciera
can confirm there are hoses for the heater core from the engine? also do you just get air or nothing at all when you try to use it? did it ever blow hot air before? is there an ac/ on off option that might be on?
