Oldsmobile Cutlass

I don't know that there is really any set replacement time for these. If you're smelling gas fumes and have ruled out everything else, the vapor canister could be the cause. These can also be "rebuilt". You can empty out and replace the charcoal and put a new filter in the bottom of it. That's pretty much it.

the front ones you can change buy just removing the plug wires and using the proper tool the back plugs you have to undo the front motor mounts and pry or pull motor forward ex ( i had to chain mine to a pole and back it up really slow with the mounts undone) do not try to do this with one persone i recoment using a come a long the motor will alow enuff movement for you to get at the back 3 plugs with tight space but it can be done. read your servace manual.

Between the engine and firewall labeled TRANS.

Under the Air Filter/ Intake box there is a red cap on the transmission for putting in fluid. There is no dipstick that I know of on a 1999 Cutlass w/ 3100 "J" motor.

No it will not fit correctly with the grill.

wheel bolt patern is4 3/4 on both 14 and 15 inch wheel

I don't have an answer yet but I do know that the antitheft works to interrupt the power to the fuel pump. Mine has just started coming on at random times so I will be doing some more trouble shooting to find the problem and the cure.

I have the same problem with my acheiva because of disconnecting the battery for cleaning. One way to turn it off is to turn the car on (but not crank it) and then take the key out while all the doors are locked.

I think the only way to get to it is to go inside the trunk. You will see the wires going up to it. Then after you losen it then you go back in side the car to change it.

find the tensioner pulley ( I think it is the one second from top towards rear of motor). take your 3/8" drive ratchet attach to pulley lift up and remove belt. diagram of belt order should be on the fan guard.

Drain old coolant from rad thru petcock on radiator. Fill 50/50 mix of antifreeze and de-ionized water.(Tap water has is too hard) Install 50/50 mix.Start engine up.Heater on hot .Fan on Max . Watch level as it goes down in rad.When level is stable rev egine up to approx. 2000rpm to remove any air trapped in the system.Repeat.refill to 1" of top of rad. Check level again when cool (next day)

The engine is not getting fuel, or it's not getting spark.

A few of the possible reasons would be a bad fuel pump, a bad computer or simply a dirty key causing the anti theft feature to activate as happened to me more than once on my 97 Cutlass GLS.

Before you have it towed, make sure your key is clean, wait 15 minutes since the last time you tried to start it for the anti theft to reset and try again. If it still won't start you probably need the services of a mechanic.

If it is green in colour it is the standard anti freeze that you have seen and used on all vehicles. If it is red/brownish/pinkish/colour it is called "Dexcool".That is GM's long life antifreeze(5 years between change intervals) You do not want to wait this long .Have ENTIRE SYSTEM on car flushed every 2 years for proper maintenance

There is no dipstick on a '98 Oldsmobile Cutlass, so you must take it to a mechanic and have the transmission serviced after 100,000 miles (per the owner's manual). Poor design if you ask me.

There is a dipstick probably with a red cap on it that pulls out. Have the car on a level surface, engine at operating temperature. Pull stick out wipe it off and look on the stick for possible specifics. It may say "check when hot at idle in park" or " check while hot in neutral". etc. Insert back in and see where level is versus where it should be.

In cars, seize means to lock up. In governments, seize means someone has taken control over something. A nation can seize another nation.

In order to locate and replace the cylindrical shape flasher module, the four screws holding the fusebox in must be removed. The glove compartment door hinge is sort of in the way so it is best to remove glove compartment screws, though glove compartment door will still stay on. the cylindrical shape flasher module is located behind fusebox and it has to be searched for by feeling for it. In my case I found it by reaching behind fusebox to the left. I was told to first turn on my four way directional signal so that after I disconnected the cylindrical shape flasher module I knew for sure that I was not disconnecting the four way cylindrical shape module. Now the cylindrical shape flasher module that I removed was yellow in color and the one I bought to replace the cylindrical shape flasher module was silver in color. Getting the fuse box out took a little tilting and angeling to get out This information is 100 percent correct. Thank you. Remove the fuse box and the glove compartment and there it is. Cut the wire tie holding the flasher and replace. Thak you Additional Answer I just fixed mine last night, but I didn't have to mess with the fusebox. It turns out that the flasher was attached by a clip on the right side of the ashtray frame inside the dashboard. I took out the removable "cup" part of the ashtray, then removed the two upper and two lower ashtray frame screws. Next, I pulled the frame forward and disconnected the small ashtray light. The power wire for the cigarette lighter can stay attached. After that, it was easy to get to and replace the flasher unit.

why does my cutless ciera stall when running and starts back up

It is usually located on the brake pedal itself approximately halfway up

Check the coolant temp sensor, or just replace it if you have the money to burn.

4 cylinder is 1-3-4-2 rotor turns clockwise

6 cylinder is 1-6-5-4-3-2 rotor turns clockwise

Depends on which motor you're referring to

Caution:Dont remove both shock absorbers at the same time * Open the trunk and peel back the side trim panel to expose the upper shock mount * Remove the mount nut (The two bolts you see must be removed from wheel well side after the vehicle is raised and the wheel is removed) * Loosen the lug nuts raise the rear of vehicle and support it securely on jackstands.Remove the rear wheels * Support the trailing arm with a jack and remove the lower shock absorber mounting nut and bolt * Remove the two upper mounting bolts and detach the shock absorber and coil spring from the vehicle. * Installation is reverse of removal

First thing to do is check the fuel level in the tank and check all the fuses. Add fuel or replace fuses as needed. If it still doesn't start, remove the fuel filter and turn the key on. Fuel should flow from the line. If it doesn't, check for power to pump and if that's fine, replace the pump. If fuel flows, check for fire at the spark plugs. A small checker is avaible at any parts house and it is inexpensive. If you have fire, check the timing belt. If you have no fire at the plugs, you will need to consult a troubleshooting manual for more in-debt information.
