Where do you add power steering fluid to a 1997 Oldsmobile 88?
The steering pump reservoir is towards the passenger side of the compartment, on the firewall side of the engine. It's not easy to get too, really. Viewing from the passenger side of the car, you'll not see it, because a wire bundle and terminal blocks your view of it. I just filled mine before answering this... I had to approach it from directly above the engine. I'm fortunate that I'm light weight enough to balance on the edges of the compartment. Even still, you'll need a long stemmed funnel to reach the reservoir.
How many miles per gallon does a 1999 Oldsmobile eighty eight get?

Why does my 1994 Oldsmobile 88 stall when you stop or go to turn?
Unfortunately could be few things so mention this to those idiot mechanics of yours.
1) It sounds like the FUEL PUMP is quiting for some reason. Now the pump could be wearing out because it is an older car but maybe not (so don't go out an by one!).
2)) : check the fuel gauge - if it drops, it could be the FUEL PUMP RELAY dropping out.
3) That fuel pump is also powered by an OIL PRESSURE SWITCH that as long as there is oil pressure in the engine keeps that pump running. Assuming the relay drops out and itis running gon the oil switch, coming to a stop sign could drop the oil pressure en ought that the oil switch opens, although it is supposed to oper ate on something like 3PSI. That's another scenario.
4) loosed the gas cap and leave it loose to see if the tank is forming a vacuum thus not allowing the fuel out - VACUUM LEAK
5) Check WIRES there is a connector on the fuel tanks and out of that connector comes a ground wire that bolts to the body somewhere. it is the bround for both eh pump and the fueled sender and must be clean and tight.
So it coould be a power or pump problem or loose connect.

What would make a car stall while driving?
Bad gas, water in fuel, Low fuel pump pressure, dirty air flow sensor screen, one or more engine sensors defective and/or out of normal reporting ranges, engine control computer defective. Low battery and alternator output. The "check engine light" should have come on to give you a hint.
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.

Where is the 1993 delta 88 high speed blower relay location?
Sorry but it is not a relay. It is a power transistor voltage regulator board located on the center area of the firewall and controlled by the Climate control computor. I have an 89 with low speed blower working only. I tapped into the module wire connection to a small switch I installed under the dash for high speed operations.
How do you check the timing belt on a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 royale?
a 3.8 has a timing chain not a belt
That's true, it's a simple in-block cam design with two gears and a chain. If there are no drive-ability concerns and the vehicle starts and runs normally there's really no need to check the chain. If you're thinking the chain has stretched or has jumped a tooth you'll need to disassemble the engine and inspect the timing marks. It's worth the 15 bucks to invest in a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for the whole procedure, especially if you haven't done this before.
If the engine won't start at all simply remove the oil cap and the little extension neck if this engine has one and watch the rocker arm while someone cranks the car over. If the chain is connected at all the rocker arm should move.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A BEARING IN ONE OF YOUR PULLEYS I WOULD TAKE THE BELT OFF and spin your pulleys ONE AT A TIME BY HAND AND SEE IF ANY OF THEM ARE HARD TO SPIN OR MAKE A NOISE WHEN YOU SPIN THEM REPLACE THEM IF THERE IS ANY DIFFUCULTY
I would like to know how you go about doing this also. We have the door panel off and can see the glass is out of its channel, we can raise the channel by cranking up the window but when we roll it down the glass stays put, then some time later the glass will fall.
How do you replace the outside passenger mirror on a 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight?
Remove innerside of door panel, disconncet wires from lights and other acc(have a small flathead screwdriver handy)2. remove plastic doorcover. make sure the window is in the up position!! If not reconnect the door switch. Reach in to the guts of the door you might get scraped but this will save you some bucks. Take a 10mm socket and wrench take the 2bolts out hold the mirror so it dose not hit you door and scrach it. put on new/used mirror and reverse steps.
Where is the starter located on a 1994 Geo Tracker?
Hi, The starter should be located on the right side of the engine, tucked in real close to the engine. If you will look down from the battery side, you should see the starter about in a line with the front side of the battery. If the starter is not working or sometimes not working, try hitting the starter while someone turns the key to the start position...really, this works. Until you can replace the starter, this is a way to keep going. It does mean you need to replace the unit but it's only two bolts and a few wires and looks like an easy job, you need jackstands or ramps or someone tha'll let you use their garage lift. I have to do this so I've been going through the same thing. Hope this helps and good luck. Steve H.
