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
