My 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera is running extremely rough, it basically goes "putt, putt, putt". My 'service engine soon' light comes on. It stalled out on me once, then it ran smooth for a few hours. It hasn't backfired. It hasn't caused any problems before, I just had my oil changed 4 days ago at Wal-Mart.

SOURCE: The windows in the 95 oldsmobile cutlass ciera won't work at all

maybe the wire is severed where the door (drver dr) pivots. thats what was wrong with mine. there is a rubber boot with crinkles in it that hold all the wires together. you can also try replacing the switch board that controls the wndws on the drvr dr. hope that helps.

SOURCE: i need to reset the timing on my 93 oldsmobile

You must have an ignition distributor to be able to reset or change the engine timing. If you do have a coil pack then the engine timing is completely controlled by the computer and there is no timing adjustment.

Service engine soon light on and car runs rough and stalls at idle speed

if i were you i would start with a fuel filter, if that helps, but its still not quite right, replace plugs and wires also, basically a general tuneup of plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, will most definately fix your problem.. the fuel filter alone may.. hope this helps

1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.

I've narrowed the problem to be either the ECM or the TORCQUE CONVERTER, either of which would
cost as much or more( pride plus labor) than the original cost of the car.
