What would make a 1899 oldsmobile cutlass ciera start and then die right away?
Engine rotates but will not start
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.
The battery has insufficient power to crank the engine but enough power to power the lights. The starter motor needs considerably more power than the headlight bulbs.
be more specific what kind of noise if any at all wont turn over ? it will not even crank up
Its the same as on all cars. The safety neutral switch is why you cannot start your car in gear.
? Thermostat ?, do you have good heat, may make the computer ( ecm ) assume your on cold start up.
Could be in need of a tune up. Start with replacing the spark plugs and spark plug wires.
By your description it could be anything from a dead battery to a bad fuel pump, we need a lot more info on what it's doing.
The most common reason for an engine not to start is a lack of fuel. A plugged air filter can cause and engine to idle rough or not idle at all.
There is a fuel cut-off switch under the hood that needs to be reset. Should be on the left side near the back.
coil packs,fuel pump or pressure regulator
