PCV valve, grommet, and a new elbow fixed mine. Booya
,,,,the cause could be a hundred different things but most probably it's ma fuel delivery problem or an electrical problem.
every time I try to insert an A into my posts, it always come out ma!!
It's probably a broken engine mount. I have an 04 Alero and mine was broken. Jerking stopped when I replaced it.
The Alero is made by Oldsmobile not Chrysler. My first suspicion would be a failed fuel pump or clogged fuel filter.
out of fuel, bad alternator/battery, mechanical frailer. need more info., does it crank? fuel level? any lights on dash board when car shut off?
engine rubber mounts or timin out
Flush your radiator and get that orange antifreeze GUNK outta there! I flushed mine...my mechanic added green antifreeze and all is well....that orange stuff eats and destroys....
It has a timing chain on it. Should last you quite a while. A chain is 10 times better than i belt.
Because it's old
Why engine stalls on 1993 Chrysler Intrepid while driving and sometimes at stops?
If a 1998 Oldsmobile 88 is shutting down after being driven for a while, the vehicle may have a problem with the computer. Something is telling the computer that the vehicle needs to be shut off. A new computer might fix this problem.
Check timing/timing belt
You probably have a problem with the air to fuel ratio in your engine. This could be caused by needing a tune-up to needing a new carburetor. A 1986 Oldsmobile is not too complicated. Spend a little time online understanding how the engine works, then take it in to a mechanic.
Fuel pump failure is one possibility.
