I've got a 1993 Old Eighty Eight that does not start all the time...
Usually happens when it is damp outside. Cranks fine, but no spark. If I wait a while or leave the ignition on for a while it will start fine. Everything else works fine...... I need 1 of 2 things, I need someone to help me or send me a brick that can be placed on the gas pedal so I can watch the car go shooting off into the lake.... I am very handy and have owned plenty of cars, changed plenty of motors and even wired from scratch a 32 Ford roadster. |

If you don't have spark on any plug, the module or the crankshaft sensor could be the problem. Does the "Check engine" light ever come on?? If the "check engine" light comes on after starting & if you shut it off and restart the light doesn't come on again, It is most likely the crankshaft sensor. If you don't get the light at all, I would suspect the module.
Be aware that the spark plug wires and coils are in pairs. If you have a bad plug wire, it can cause 2 cylinders to misfire. This makes for a very poor running V6!! Good Luck!! |

Re: Intermittent Starting Problem -1993 Olds
OldsmobileKid, The problem usually occurs when
I get out of the care for a short period of time with damp conditions outside temp around 35 to 60 degrees. It has also stoped a couple of time while I was driving, But I wai a while and it will start. It's just getting to be a pain in the "You Know What". Thanks for your help, At least I have some sort of direction. If I can narrow it down, I'll just replace the cheapest part first... |
