Is there a way to fix this.. or am I out of luck?
I have a Oldsmobile Intrigue GL with the 3800 fuel injected engine and about a month ago I started having problems with starting it up.
About a month ago I was told by a co-worker that putting a higher test than 87 octane wouldnt hurt my car... I put in mid grade which was 89 octane. A few hours after that I guess after the fuel had started to move through the fuel line I went outside to start it and it didnt work. It turned over, but it wouldnt stay started. We got it started somehow by pumping the gas into it when it turned over but the problem was that it overheated too fast.
When you turn it on while holding the gas down it kinda sputters like its not getting gas. When I had a friend look at it.... first they said it was the fuel line. But when you started the car and it ran it would suck both the radiator hoses air tight. After looking under the radiator cap we noticed that there was a bunch of rust build up and we replaced it with a new one. Still the same problem.
Am i screwed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
