1995 Oldsmobile Achieva - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hello tcb476: My name is Roger and i will answer your question. The fuel pump relay on your Oldsmobile Achieva is located under the hood. Open the hood and look at the left strut tower. You should find a relay block attached to the tower..There should be 4 relays. Three of them will be in a row. The center relay should be your fuel pump relay. Please rate the answer you received as this is how we know you received the correct information. Should you need further help please just ask. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

On this website, you find fuse box diagram and description for Oldsmobile Achieva (1995) Oldsmobile Achieva 1995 fuse box diagram Auto Genius

have battery and relays tested --leaning toward battery fault

In the underside of the dash, under the steering wheel (a bit left of where the column meets the dash). It should have a label saying "FUSES". You press it, than pull it open.

Your best bet would be a salvage yard. Don't think anybody would stock it, maybe in a rack of replacement door handles, knobs, fittings, etc. for Oldsmobiles or GM products. More certain at salvage. Don't waste your time at a GM dealership- they will tell you the Achieva is obsolete and they can't order parts for it in most cases.

Around $200 at a garage.

That's a fair quote. Most of the time they have to replace the entire line so the issue does not occur again. The whole job will probably take close to 2 hours.

So why not tells us why the mechanic has no solution & what part you need? Salvage Yard? Aftermarket/Reman?

Sounds like a lean fuel condition at start up. You could be looking at a fuel pump that won't prime fast enough. Also, find the fuel pump relay and make sure it operating properly. A plugged fuel filter will cause the same symptoms as well.

raise the arm off the window, lift the plastic cover at the end of the arm where it attaches to the car, lower the arm and remove the nut that holds the wiper to the vehicle. make sure you put the wiper back in the same position when you fit it back on the car or your wiper will be out of sync with the other wiper.

the best tool to use is a pipe spanner as it covers most of the nut and prevents rounding off of the nut . The difficulty will come from the amount of rust around the nut and the condition of the pipe and hose.

probaly lost fuel pressure, from fuel pump going out, or relay went out. Need more info such as, did engine stop running completly, or did it start back up etc. post back please.

solenoid on your starter is sticking .hit is with a spanner .as someone turns over the engine .if it starts change the starter.

all that is one thing, Boggle and stallingbut did WOT make it go full speed up hill( wide open throttle)(pedal to the metal?) #1 tests after the#1 cure a tune up. ever do that? the 60k tune up is not optionalsorry, NOT.

under the hood with the rest of ur fuses by the battery

Start the engine with hood up. Wait for it to reach operating temperature. When it does, fan should cycle on for a few seconds, then off. If it doesn't come on, turn car off and make sure fan is free spinning-no obstructions. Be careful, if engine is warm, fan can come on and start running. If fan is free wheeling, jumper it from battery to fan connector to check fan motor. If motor works when given battery voltage but still won't come on as it should (usually the engine has to be quite warm to turn on the fan-as in stop and go traffic, or long idle times), you will have to check wiring at the fan relay, check if temperature switch to turn fan on is working properly, check if computer is signaling fan to turn on at the relay. You will probably need a wiring diagram if you don't find the problem as a bad fan motor or bad relay.

have to get at it from under the car , jack up the car and right where the oil drain plug is look straight .there is a hose on the back of the motor between the transmission and motor

check fuel filter

Is the check engine light on ?Usually a sign of low fuel pressure such as a dirty filter or weak pump.Have the fuel pressure checked with a gauge.

if your engine isn't at the point of death; i would advise you to have one of two things did, either have your 02 oxgen sensor changed, or your fueling system cleansed. and also; I heared you say you replaced your fuel pump. if you didn't have problems starting the car it wasn't neccessary.
