Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / March 2005Please Help!
So I bought this car for $300 bucks knowing problems with the car, power steering pump is out for instance. Well the car drove fine until today when I was driving to work from school. All of a sudden my car seemed to be acting weird. The car started shaking and I looked under the hood and pressed the throttle. Some hissing noise is was coming out on the left upper side of the engine. I took out the 3 spark plugs wires and they were firing correclty. I cannot change my back spark plugs since it?s kinda hard without lifting the engine up. Some friends say its my spark plugs and wires going out, and others say its my tranny. I don?t know what to do, so i?m hoping you guys can help me out. 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International, sedan, V6, 3.4L, auto. And I was wondering if it?s easy to replace the power steering pump, and is there an easy way to change the back spark plugs. And why my car drinks gas like some dude drinking coke. The problem with back yard mechanics is we usually lack the tools needed for a proper diagnoses. I have owned two old cutlass supreme and have encountered many similar problems as you are having. I had a friend with computerized diagnostic equip. so I was able to hook up my cars and check them out.. This was how I found that I needed an ECM (Electronic Control Module). All the problems you mention are just like problems I was having. That's not to say that this is your problem, but you should get this checked before you spend more money. ECMs are not cheap, I bought used from the wrecker. Also buy the repair manual for you car I found it very useful. Hope this helps. 89 Cutlass Supreme > So I bought this car for $300 bucks knowing problems with the car, > power steering pump is out for instance.
