1988 olds cutlass ciera service engine light comes on and engine starts to bog down. My mechanic can't seem to get a reading from the computer check. Is he using the right computer dianostic? What’s wrong? I have run three cans of fuel injector cleaner through and it doesn't help. Maybe a vacuum hose? Catalytic converter? Sensor?
Try taking the car to Autozone or similar business for a free scan of your computer (your car is a pre-OBD2 system and your mechanic may have a scanner that reads only post-'96 autos). The scan will usually only point to problem areas, not specific components. That's where the mechanic comes in with specific tests. Good luck!
Testimonial: "Thanks for a straight forward answer! I really appreciate it."
Being that old i'd check the EGR valve see if it is plugged up with carbon
Testimonial: "Thanks! No one has suggested that yet."
