Here is the trouble with a '94 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme:
- Momentary loss of power. By this I mean any acceleration will stop (cruise
control will switch off if I am using it), the spedometer and/or RPM gauge
will "zero out", typically (but not always) the "low oil level" and "air
bag" message lights will appear, and sometimes this will actually turn the
ignition off, which means I'm pulling over on the highway to start back up.
Most of the time, after about 1 second, the gauges will return to their
normal reading.
-When the car "wakes back up" from this loss of power, sometimes the
physical power of the vehicle will be out of whack. If I'm cruising at ~2500
RPMs and the car zonks out, when it wakes back up, sometimes it will require
~3500 RPMs to attain the previous speed. If I'm doing city driving, when the
car is idleing, there will be no drive whatsoever and I'll really need to
push the gas just to get going from a stop.
-Since this seems to be an electrical issue, I have tried driving w/o the
radio, A/C, etc. This does not seem to make any difference at all.
-Last but not least, the windshield wipers seem to need an exorcism. They
will spontaneously turn themselves on and off without me adjusting the
switch at all. Not sure if this is related, but I'll throw it out there.
Thanks.
