This just happened to my '94 Ciera. A wire to the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) had been cut. Repair of the wire corrected the problem. The sensor is located on the transmission extension on the passenger side. Can be seen from underhood but better serviced by removing the passenger side tire and working through the wheel well opening. If your wiring is good, suspect the sensor. $40 part.
Probably because you need to check the engine.
The check engine light on a 94 Buick Olds Cutlass is read using an OBDII code reader. It is connected to the port under the dash which interfaced directly with the reader.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
I've had problems with the Intake Manafold and also with the spark plug towers burning out setting off the check engine light. I know there are more but this is just my personal experience with my 1999 cutlass.
Could be the catalytic converter.
Disconnect the battery, wait 10 minutes, and reconnect.
i would say because it is not getting spark but i have a 77 cutlass with the same problem so check it for spark
Engine idling in park. Check level on stick.
If you have an automatic transmission, check with the engine warm and running, The dip stick is located on the passenger side rear of the engine.
Check engine oil when you have just finished driving. Check Transmission fluid when the car is running and the transmission in in N (manual) or P (automatic).
there is no place for you to check it. the dealership will check it for you. and it only holds 6.5 quart's. if you have the 3.0L engine.
Yes it does. The proper way to check automatic transmission fluid is to check it while engine is at idle.
