1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera - Page 2 Questions & Answers
1993 cutless cierra,
sounds like the lockup converter is not releasing when you stop, like stopping with a stick shift and not pushing in the clutch. lockup solenoid most likely. Could just disconnect the lockup sol. (won't lock up at all) or replace the solenoid.
Why is engine stalling when i give it gas
If this happens only in the morning the culprit may be moisture in the distributor cap.
If this problem has slowly gotten worse over time then a vacuum leak could be the cause. Check the EGR first
Below are two methods to find that
If all that is good, it may be a bad fuel filter, fuel pump, bad electrical connection or the IAC needs to be cleaned. If it was the last one however, you would expect a rough idle.
If it's been a while since you have replaced the fuel filter, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and just do it.

When driving the check engine light come on and car starts to surge pullover put car in park engine revving shut car off let set a few seconds starts up and runs good what is the problem
If your fuel is okay (no water on the bottom of your tank... and your intake (carbs or fuel injection) equipment is still mostly bolted securely to the engine (both reasonably assured by mostly working... when it is working: most of the time)... you are probably experiencing an intermittent blockage of the EXHAUST SYSTEM...
You may be experiencing the early warning. I got marooned twice: rusted or rotted parts... cut loose for a total failure.
First - by a blocked muffler in Fresno (great shop: Cal State Mufflers & Brake)... ''75 Ranchero GT... I think (been a very long while)
Second - by a catalytic converter FIASCO... Horrible/EXPENSIVE Clown City Jag dealer, Walnut Creek (my opinion: never forget).
Both ultimately left me standing by the roadside... marooned pretty good.
Don't wait see if your local friendly Ye Old muffler shoppe has any clever diagnostics... or wait for the catastrophe...
Your choice but keep a good book in the car
(pack a lunch (survival equipment too)).
Good luck

How to change a thermostat in a 1993 oldsmobile
Drain some coolant from radiator to below level of thermostat housing. Be careful to keep pets away as coolant is very sweet smelling and poison. Remove two bolts holding thermostat housing in place and use catch pan to catch fluid. Clean all gasket material from both sides of housing. Clean threads of bolts and use gasket shellac on them and new gasket. Install thermostat same as old one was, install new gasket, tighten bolts to correct torque value as found in your handy dandy shop manual. Refill radiator and check for leaks.
My headlights wont work
I don't believe there is a fuse. There is a circuit breaker built into the headlight switch. If you are sure the headlight switch is good, it could be a bad dimmer switch. If you have a voltmeter, with the headlight switch turned on, a larger yellow wire going from the headlight switch to the dimmer switch should be a hot wire. The dimmer switch sends power on a tan wire to the low beams, and through a light green wire to the high beam bulbs.
If your high beam indicator on the dash also doesn't work, then it is likely one of those switches. A voltmeter or test light would need to be used to find which one is bad. If you can find the connector at the steering column going to the dimmer switch, pull it apart and check for power on the yellow wire coming from the headlight switch, with the headlight switch turned on. If no power, the headlight switch is bad. If there is power there, then the dimmer switch must be bad.
How to replace crankpully on 3300 olbs
The harmonic balancer on these engines is now press fit onto the crankshaft and requires the use of Tool J-38197 for removal. The torque specification to be used during installation has also been revised. The procedure to be used when replacing the crank sensor is as follows: REMOVAL
- Disconnect serpentine belt from crankshaft pulley.
- Raise vehicle on hoist.
- Remove right front tire and wheel assembly.
- Remove right inner fender access cover.
- Using 28 mm socket, remove crankshaft harmonic balancer retaining bolt.
- Remove crankshaft harmonic balancer using Tool (J-38197).
- Remove foreign object deflector (DO NOT use pry bar).
- Disconnect sensor electrical connector.
- Remove sensor and pedestal from block face.
- Remove sensor from pedestal
INSTALLATION
- Loosely install crankshaft sensor on pedestal.
- Position sensor with pedestal attached on Tool J-37089.
- Position tool on crankshaft.
- Install bolts to hold pedestal to block face, torque to (18-26 lb. ft.).
- Torque pedestal pinch bolt to (26-44 lbs. in.).
- Remove Tool J-37089.
- Install foreign object deflector.
- Place Tool J-37089 on harmonic balancer and turn. If any vane of the harmonic balancer touches the tool, replace the balancer assembly.
- Install balancer on crankshaft.
- Apply thread sealer GM #(NNN) NNN-NNNNor equivalent to threads of crankshaft balancer bolt. Torque bolt to + 56 degrees (104 lb. ft. + 56 degrees).
