1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have a 1985 oldsmobile
As far as tranny check or replace the speed control on the tranny. There should be an inner and outer.the second sounds like a temp control module.
How do you replace a sending unit on a 85 Delta 88???..asap!!
If you are reffering to the fuel tank sending unit, the fuel tank will have to be removed for access. Once removed, you can remove the sending unit by removing the lock ring securing it to the tank. Depending on rust/corrossion, the lock ring may require some patience to remove. Once the ring is removed the unit pull right out of the tank
Bad fusible link smptoms
Battery not holding a charge,or dash lights not working,and other circuits that may have a fusible link,follow your positive cable and all wires from being burnt or melted.
Would lack of oil keep
Lack of oil after a while would cause the engine to seize. Too much heat and not enough oil to lubricate the parts, things will fuse together and make the engine junk. A problem staying started could be many things: spark plugs, electrical problems, etc.
Where is the fuel filter
As I recall, that was around the time GM was making the change from carburetors to throttle body injection . There should be a very small filter inside the carb, just behind where the fuel line connects to it . Disconnect the battery, disconnect fuel line from carb and reach in with small needle nose pliers to remove. Also there was a "sock" filter located in the gas tank itself but, I'd check the carb filter 1st.
If it's throttle body, I think there was only the filter in the tank but, I'm not 100% sure on that. Your local GM dealer should have references available to let you know for sure.
