Want this question answered?
on the distributor or near there
It doesn't have a distributor. It has a Distributorless Ignition System AKA DIS.
im not to sure about the 88, but the 85 (i think are the same)disconect the battery. turn the ignition to run. remove the stearing wheel, then the lock plate behind it (using a lock plate depressor, remove the ring that holds it from popping out) after that, there are a couple screwes that hold in the ignition cylinder-remove them and pull it out with the key. need to know more about delta 88's? hit me up at cardomain@: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3115056
The firing order for a 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 3.8L V6 is: 1-6-5-4-3-2 The #1 cylinder is located in the RIGHT FRONT.
No it doesn't.
It could either be a bad ignition coil, a bad ignition rotor, a bad ignition cap, a bad ignition control module (if equipped), or a bad coil to cap wire.
My guess would be a weak ignition coil. Same thing happened to my delta. Wouldn't start in cold weather. Changed the ignition coil (60bucks) and it's been starting good ever since.
About a hundred bucks if you have someone that can do it for you! Mine just died too!
Steering wheel has to be removed. You need special tools.
How to change a timing chain in a 1998 Oldsmobile delta 88
disconnect the battery, then the wires from the starter. Then remove the bolts holding the starter to the engine.
The light bulb or the taillight lens? Open the trunk to replace the bulb.
