How do you replace belt after replacing water pump?
Most cars and trucks today have what is called a serpentine belt which runs most accessories.They are very dependable and usually easy to replace. To decide if your belt needs replacing, simply look at the grooved side of the belt to see if it is cracking badly. A couple of cracks every 3 inches is normal, but if you see cracks every 1-2 inches I would recommend that you replace it. On most cars and trucks the procedure is basically the same. First off, get the correct belt by bringing your cars VIN number to the parts store(located on your cars dashboard) the parts store may need it. If there are two choices, get them both so you can complete the repair. Once you have the correct belt, take a minute to review how the belt runs across the pulleys and also check to see if your car/ truck has a underhood diagram of belt routing in case you need it. In most cases you will need a socket wrench or breaker bar with either a 3/8" and /or 1/2" head on it and possibly a short extension. Some models may require a wrench of these similar sizes.Now that you are ready to go to work, you will need to find the spring loaded tensioner which is generally located near the top of the belt path; it usually has a shinny pulley on it. Look at the tensioner and insert the tool into it and apply opposing pressure to release the belt.Now, simply install the new belt making sure it fits into the grooves on all the pulleys. Start the car to check it and you are done and you saved yourelf some money!

How do you remove and install an ignition cylinder in a 1992 Delta Eighty-Eight Oldsmobile?
They are same special tools what u can order them from the net or maybe u can find them at autoparts, i have the same problem , but i just wait like that for a while i use the screwdriver :) .....Good Luck ... Evidently,you have lost your keys lol.With keys removal very easy,without can be pain,Hopefully you have already purchased the new cylinder.Instructions should come with cylinder.You will need a steering wheel puller,roughly cost is about 12 bucks.You might also need a set of star drives. Set aside the day for removal,should take roughly 3 hours if all goes right,but extra time helps so not to get frustraded.Phillips and flat heads,adjustable wrench or correct size for steering wheel nut.Put parts in order as taking off,hence the first parts should be farthest away from you. If it has a release hole,use a straightened out paper clip this is the best case scenario without key. If it has locking pin and cylinder needs to be in run position to depress pin.Heres where the fun begins, everywhere you read will say drill the pin.Dont,go to the hardware store and purchase 2 dremel cone grindstones.Use these with a drill and grind the pin.Using a drill bit will just tear up the soft metal around it.Trust me on the 2 grindstones,you will need 2.By now cylinder should move just a tad.you can tell if pin is holding it up or not.Your not done yet,take a 3/8s drill bit and drill dead center of key hole.Make sure you have new cylinder in hand so that you know if drilling into anything but cylinder.Cylinder should fall apart in about 3 pieces.Remove those pieces,kind of match up with new to make sure all is out.Figure at least an hour on drilling center of cylinder.Wipe inside out to remove debri,light oil new cylinder with 3 in one.Slip in and start up.Put everything back together. Good luck,sounds hard but after you finish it you will realize not to bad.

Why would a 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 not accelerate when you press on the gas?
That being said.
It could just be a accelerator pump which like the throttle position senso is located under the carb.
IT COULD BE THE CATELETIC CONVERTER I WOULD HAVE IT CHECKED FIRST MOST SHOPS WILL CHECK FOR FREE.
I believe this car has the fuel injected 3.8L, in which case it could also be a plugged air filter or a fuel delivery problem (fuel pump). Does the engine idle and if so is it smooth ?.
How do you change the crankshaft sensor on a 1996 Oldsmobile delta 88?
Hard Set the parking brake, and block the rear tires. Jack up the right front chassis enought to remove the tire and wheel. Put safety jack stands under that area and lower the jack . Remove the plastic inner wheel well covers to gain access to the front of the engine. There you will see the bottom most engine pully (crankshaft dampner)on the serpentine belt system. At three o'clock you will see the crankshaft sensor and it's mounting bolts. The sensor extends into the metal fins on the back side of that pully. If the sensor is busted up you should remove the pully and check for bent fins. There is close clearance between the sensor and the fins and when you install a new one it has to be close and center between the fins - but not too close and the pully fins have to pass thru the sensor gate grooves without touching them. LOL

There should be 4 sensors. Two upstream O2 sensors located in front of the motor directly above the starter and the other behind the motor between the firewall and motor. Both of these should be in front of the catalytic converter (the little box at the beginning of the exhaust pipes). The two downstream sensors should be behind the catalytic convertor. Good luck.
