Your 1993 Oldsmobile eighty eight royale wont start or go into gear whats the problem?
Key won't turn or it does and the engine won't turn over?
I had the same problem on my 1988 and would have to leave it on. On that motor, there is a heat shield that surrounds the starter and if it is not there, when the motor heats up it will transfer that heat to the starter simulating a bad battery/starter problem. Once it cools down it starts fine. Start looking from there or get a remote starter (like I did) so you can leave it running when you run into somewhere fast.

It could be the fuel pump is unable to create adequate fuel pressure. It could also be the throttle position sensor, throttle body injector, fuel filter and any of a number other problems. Check for a computer code. If you don't see one, it might just be fuel related, since computers don't usually check for that.
