Want this question answered?
What would make a 1899 oldsmobile cutlass ciera start and then die right away?
The most obvious thing to check when a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme won't start is to make sure that the vehicle has gas. You should also check the battery. If the car clicks when you try to start it, it is likely the alternator.
Had the same problem with my 92 cutlass ciera. It turned out to be ac compressor. Probably the clutch.
check your battery or you spark plugs
it may be the starter going out doing it . it will kill the alternator if it keeps going . I know i had it happen to my 96 olds replaced the alt still didnt start and the starter fixed it
Cracked distributer cap or fuel pump
Engine rotates but will not start
Start with replacing the fuel filter.
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.
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
I would say a good thing to buy is a Haynes book from a parts store for your car.
That is a typical thing on most cars, let it cool down some then try again
