What you're describing seems suspiciously like an electric component that is overheating and failing. It could be fuel pump, ignition control module, coil, electrical connector or... something else. When it stops next time check to see if you still have spark. Carry a used sparkplug with you and when your car won't start, pull one spark plug wire, connect it to the spare sparkplug and lay the sparkplug on a metal surface of the engine. Have someone crank the engine and see if you get a good, healthy spark on the spare plug. If not, you have at least found out that it's ignition. Then track it backward from there. If you are lucky, your onboard diagnostics might even have detected a component failure. Run a diag test and see if the computer has anything useful. I would check the crank sensor. I spent over $500.00 in my car.Come to find out from a local garage that it was the crank sensor that was a $16.00 part.
Expect 26 city, 34 highway in realworld. EPA estimates and different driving styles may cause variation.
14 to 16 mpg in city driving roughly. Around 20 mpg highway. Its pretty good for a big car.
your Alternator
It's probably a broken engine mount. I have an 04 Alero and mine was broken. Jerking stopped when I replaced it.
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
i think better to change the engine oil for that one.for better results consult your nearest mechanic.
brake light on when driving oldsmobile alero
This could be ecm (electronic control module) problem.
OEM is 195 deg. Driving should rise no more than 200 deg. At idle or traffic jam, or hot days temp can rise up to 240 deg, this is normal.
What do you mean? Decelerate how? When?
the battery is dead and needs to be charged or replaced, or it could also be the alternator is going bad
Was the car actually running hot? Is there water in the oil? You could have a weak head gasket that starts to lek under driving conditions. Get it in the shop before you crack a head. If the car is running hot, does it over heat while driving or will it overheat at a stop? If it does it will driving, check your trans fluid. About half of nuisance overheating can be traced back to the trans fluid cooler in the radiator.
