I have a 92 cutlass ciera doing that, would run til it got hot, then die...ended up being the crank shaft sensor. hope this helps
What would make a 1899 oldsmobile cutlass ciera start and then die right away?
Had the same problem with my 92 cutlass ciera. It turned out to be ac compressor. Probably the clutch.
Cracked distributer cap or fuel pump
Symptoms of a worn timing chain are some or all of these:Rough idle.Backfiring, bucking, or sputtering.A rattling noise from the chain.Engine may not start.
I believe it has something to do with the "lockdown" where the transmission does not shift down causing the engine to stall....On the driver's side of the engine toward the front bottom there is a BLUE connection that if you disconnect the override should not occur.........have an 85 cutlass ciera have been driving it that way over a decade and solved the same problem for me..........try it......Cutlass~Cutee
possible ignition modual, what is your fuel presure, does car restart immediatly or after it sits for a while Possibly clogged fuel filter, or bad fuel pump.
Engine rotates but will not start
check your battery or you spark plugs
The most common reason for an engine not to start is a lack of fuel. A plugged air filter can cause and engine to idle rough or not idle at all.
the throttle position sensor is bad
OOOH Dang carburetors anyway! Ha.These things can be more tempermental in between summer and winter. The proper way to start one of these vehicles, is to first depress the accelerator all the way to the floor, and release. The same is true for both summer and winter. What this does is set the choke/fast idle, and primes the intake with a little bit of gas. This is supposed to help start the engine. The next thing to do is turn the key to start the engine. It should start quickly, but if not, then you may have other problems that need to be repaired.
No, but if you start a water-cooled engine with a broken water pump, your engine will soon fail from extreme overheating.
