1988 Chevrolet Celebrity - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I think those fault codes are the source of the problem, follow the links to learn more. https://www.freeautomechanic.com/gm-code-43-electronic-spark-control.html GM OBD Trouble Code 53

Probably a T-50. Due to the use of Locktite on these bolts, an impact wrench will be required. Do not use Locktight when reinstalling these bolt. Just get them tight ( 1/2 in. drive ratchet)

DID you get it fixed, let me know

replace the complete steering column or have someone that knows how to fix it repair it,

Before trying to take the drum off, you could have used a rubber hammer give it a few licks around. On the back side of backing plate should be a cavity where you can use a break tool or screwdriver to release brakes from drum. Put the drum back on and see if it will come off the right side, first. My biggest problem is I can't see anything from here.

On the 6 cylinder it is located on the left side of the engine when look at it not far from the number one cylinder. in line with the bearings and seals on serpentine belt side next to fire wall about 10 o'clock while facing engine standing at passenger side front wheel.O7OUT

check the bulbs most likely one is burned out .... that will cause light to not bilnk

First you add octane booster to two year old gas. It is too late for stabil. Find the idle air solenoid and take it out and clean it with throttle body cleaner. Try not to push it in or out. Reinstall and turn on key for I min. and off for 1 min. then start the car.

have the fuel pressure checked to ensure that it's consistent. If you have a cel light on check for those codes as well. also check for a vacuum leak and check for a stuck egr valve.

i had the same problem and it would get warmed up and stall out when i was at a light and idle, even coasting on the road.. it was a bad Starter coils.. it has three and i had one that was half way gone and causing all that trouble.. i had another one that went out all the way and the car ran so bad i thought my tranny broke even.. they cost about $30 each and fixed it myself..

The problem could be with the torque converter if your car is with automatic transmission.

The fuel tank probably got filled too much gas, and the float got bent, or the float was not installed properly, when the fuel pump was installed.

yes, the four cylinder is TBI (throttle body injected0, the V6 is mulyi-port injected.

The ignition module is what the coils are mounted to if you have an engine without a distributor.

Hi Charlie, I suggest you replace the fuel filter and have the fuel pump pressure tested for correct output. Have a diagnostic scan carried out. Regards John

That problem is most likely the ignition module inside of the distributor, and you can remove it and have it tested for free at most auto part stores.

The ignition module could also have been damaged by a faulty ignition coil or a damaged distributor cap that allowed secondary voltage to flow over the ignition module, or a shorted pick-up coil inside of the distributor could also have caused the ignition module to malfunction, and in that case you should replace the distributor. (if the ignition module does test out to be alright then the pick-up coil is the next likely culprit)

Be sure that if you purchase a new ignition module that it does come with either a silicone grease, or a die-electric compound, and be very certain that you completely cover the metal mounting contact area under the ignition module with that silicone grease or die-electric compound because it is a heat sink and the ignition module will overheat without it, and be very careful that you do not over-tighten the ignition module or it will be damaged.

Be sure that you also clean off the mounting surface for the ignition module on the inside of the distributor very well before you install the ignition module, and if installing the old module back into the distributor be sure to obtain either silicone grease or a die-electric compound for it.

Here's the firing order, you should be able to correctly plug each in now.

Someone will have to diagnose the ignition system. It could be a relay, the ignition module, cap and rotor if equipped, or a long list of other things.Is the check engine light on ? Have you checked it for trouble codes ?
