If a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass won't hold a charge despite having a new battery, alternator, starter, and terminals, the issue may lie in the wiring or electrical connections. There could be a short circuit, ground issue, or faulty ignition switch draining the battery. Additionally, parasitic draws from accessories or lighting circuits could be consuming power when the vehicle is off. It's essential to conduct a thorough electrical inspection to identify the source of the problem.

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.
I would suspect a bad alternator and battery, have them both checked at the parts store. A car with a fully charged battery and a bad alternator will run until the battery is drained and then quit.
Check your RPO codes. If it has K60 then you have a 100 amp alternator.
