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.

Does a 95 Oldsmobile cutlass ciera with a 3300 v-6 need the alternator to start it?

Yes, a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with a 3.3L V6 engine needs a functioning alternator to start. The alternator charges the battery while the engine is running, but if the battery is fully charged, the car can start without the alternator working. However, once the engine is running, it will rely on the alternator for electrical power and to keep the battery charged. If the alternator fails while driving, the vehicle may eventually lose power and stall.

Why does your Oldsmobile stall after driving it for awhile then start back up after waiting?

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

Why does your 1999 Oldsmobile cutlass start sputtering and die after driving for more than two hours?

Your 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass may be sputtering and dying after prolonged driving due to overheating, fuel delivery issues, or a failing ignition system. An overheating engine can cause the vehicle to stall, while a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump can restrict fuel flow. Additionally, a malfunctioning ignition coil or spark plugs may lead to misfiring and stalling. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional to pinpoint the exact cause.
