1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I am sorry but you cannot adjust it, there is no way to over ride the transmission that moves the seat unless you remove the motor, move the seat to where you want it and reinstall motor

Need to have your fuel pressure checked just because you can hear the pump going on doesn't mean it's running at adequate pressure

Take it to a qualified repair shop an have it checked out , could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's stored . Or it could just need new plug's & wire's ,fuel filter etc....

Check all vacuum lines, if ok then do a smoke test, sounds like there is a vacuum leak. hope that helps.

The engine starts in "open loop" mode with factory default settings in the ECM. When it warms up, it goes to "closed loop" operation and relies on the O2 sensors to adjust timing, fuel, etc. Check for error codes (DTCs) using an OBDI code checker, or consider replacing the O2 sensors.

MAF is probably not the problem - sounds like the engine is not getting the fuel it needs to start and either your injectors are fouled or the pressure regulator is stuck - that might cause the hot wires. The fuel pressure seems a bit low, but it should momentarily drop when trying to start the engine.

You might hear a slight to very loud whining or squeal coming from sensor on transmission when you accelerate or your spedometer will be acting faulty if working at all.

There are a range of thing that could cause this. Check the mass air flow sensor if it is dirty carefully clean it... Make sure your vacum lines are in good shape and have no leaks... Also check fuel system from pump to injectors. That did it for mine

Test Voltage @ the back of alternator, and all grounds to body and engine.

If you have 14+ @ back of alternator but 12 @ battery the wire off the back (Im talking abought the single larger one) may be broke

Sounds like the cam timing and or ignition timing is retarded, start with checking this. After your have done that, do a head gasket leak test before to take engine a part.

I would say, check the engine coolant temperature, if that's okay, check water flow trough the heater core. If the coolant temperature is to low replace the thermostat. If the water flow is to low though the heater core, it must be partly blocked, and should be replaced.

you may have to lift the gear box with a jack or remove the cross member

The only true tools you need is your hands, pliers/blade screwdriver. The fuel filter is located in the undercarriage rear adjacent to the left side of the fuel tank. It is bolted with a singular screw onto the uniframe just to the side of the rear-left wheel. The filter is equipped with quick-release connecters that require a firm grip and tug, releasing the fuel lines from the filter. You might want to use a fat blade screwdriver and/or pliers to pull back the connecters, only don't use too much force as this will crack the plastic keepers, defeating the entire job. Be patient but firm and all will work out.

A good place to start for the location of the fuse for your horn is in your owners manual. If you don't have one you can find the book for your specific car at auto zone or oriely's or any parts store. As for the fuse that keeps popping as soon as it is replaced, it could be that you have a power wire that is being grounded out somewhere causing the fuse to pop. One other problem might be the amperage on the fuse is too small. Good luck

The internet is filled with all sorts of OBD1 Code 44 info to read Bad Egr Valve --letting unmetered air in Vacuum Leaks in the Exhaust Before the O2 Sensor Bad Oxygen Sensor or corroded wiring Vacuum leaks anywhere Fuel Pressure too low & more You'd have to tee into the fuel filter to use a fuel pressure gauge, if you got no shrader valve on the motor You changed a fuel pressure regulator-- in the throttle body? You won't see much with a scope on that system, if you scope the O2 Sensor,their sort of slow compared to OBD2

Chances are its an ignition problem if nothing happened by using starting fluid. Have you pulled the plug wires and checked for spark ?
