Video on how to change a fuel pump on a 92 oldsmobile 88

Your fuel pump is located inside of the fuel tank. You will need to drop the tank and remove the lock ring that holds the sending unit into the tank. I don't have a video, but Google might be able to find you something.

Where is the starter relay switch in a 1996 oldsmobile

  1. Locate the relay panel: The relay panel is usually located near the battery and is often marked with a diagram of the various relays.
  2. Identify the starter relay: The starter relay is typically marked with an "S" or "ST" on the panel or cover.
  3. Check the wiring diagram: If you're having trouble locating the starter relay, refer to the vehicle's wiring diagram for help.
If you're still unable to locate the starter relay, it's recommended to consult a repair manual

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero 3.4L automatic..

Have you checked the PCL in the car? Like the computer of the car? You might need to tow it to an autozone or somewhere similar and have it checked.

Had posted a question however, apparently was not specific enough.

You should work with Larry on your other post by replying to him. He normally has access to diagrams via a subscription site. The more information you give Larry, the better he is. https://www.fixya.com/cars/t29914266-looking_vacuum_diagram_1985_toronado ..

I have a 98 Oldsmobile Bravada the service 4 wheel drive light is on and I hear a clicking noise in the glove box when starting

check fuses. scan the PCM yet? 1998 4wd is computer controlled NP-136 transfer case, which works more like traction control. The Bravada was now run in RWD in normal operations, and only when wheel slip was detected did the SmartTrak engage AWD The NP136 transfer cases was manufactured with electrical shift encoder motors, this unit has two different drive ranges 2 high and 4WD (run at reduced speeds) with the front output drop on the driver side. This unit has a 27 spline front output and utilizes a rear slip yoke. if you have purchased your car used the very first order of business is to double check the tire diameters. Used car dealers may have mismatched size the tires to make the sale. Mismatched tires will cause the NP136 transfer case to fail.The NP136 transfer case unit has a couple of problems, it utilizes a viscous coupler clutch system that can fail. One way to recognize this failure mode is clicking sounds when turning on dry asphalt or concrete surfaces. Viscous coupler failure is attributed to excessive heat build up. The second problem is that the oil circulation pump on NP136 can wear a hole in the case, we provide a transfer case saver to prevent this from happening. Once you have a hole in the case fluid will be lost and the case will fail. Don't leave home without our case saver, it's only a matter of time. Recommended fluid for the NP 136 transfer case is GM part number 12378396. and more get the car serviced, or learn to scan first. and post DTC seen

How can I get diagrams for my 1983 Oldsmobile cutlass hurst 307 5.0 vin 9

There are very few things that make the H/O cutlass any different from the other "G" body GM vehicles. I believe all Chilton and Mitchell manuals for a early 80's G body will have wiring diagrams in them.

I have a 92 olds

It sounds like you are having a problem with your 1992 Oldsmobile 88. The issue you described, where the car is not accelerating and stalling out, could be caused by a number of things. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the fuel system. A faulty fuel pump or clogged fuel filter could cause the engine to stall out. Check the fuel pump and fuel filter and replace them if necessary.
  2. Check the ignition system. A faulty spark plug or ignition coil could cause the engine to misfire and stall out. Check the spark plugs and ignition coils and replace them if necessary.
  3. Check the fuel pressure. Low fuel pressure can cause the engine to stall out. Check the fuel pressure and make sure it is within the manufacturer's specifications.
  4. Check the engine temperature. If the engine is overheating, it could cause the engine to stall out. Check the engine temperature and make sure it is within the normal range.
I recommend having a mechanic diagnose the problem in order to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate repair. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette. When it starts it will run all day long. When you turn it off, if you wait five minutes it won't start. Something shutting down the injectors. I can't figure it out?

'2002 ols seilette' That's the worst spelling of the model I have seen for a long time, it's written on the back of the vehicle. I fixed all the others as well and moved it from the Miscellaneous category to make model category. You need an auto electrician with a $5,000 pro grade scan tool computer to record what happens when you try to restart the car. It is likely to be a failing sensor, or even the ECM itself.

Cant get thermostat housing off (hot water thermostat)

You will have to get the bracket out of the way, just to get the housing off and back on in an easy manner that won't cause a leak. The hose may be the one from the valve cover area, carrying the blow by and crankcase fumes back into the intake-so part of the positive crankcase ventilation. So that hose could have a lot of carbon like deposits. See if you can twist or work it back and forth carefully. Not sure how it connects or where it comes apart, If it is plastic, sometimes they break no matter how careful- age makes them very brittle.
