Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

I have the same car and this happens to me if you take your right hand and pull the lever and bang the hood with your left near the windshield the top of the hood it might pop loose if you think your cable is broken then the lever you pull on look behind it and find the cable and pull it with a pair of plyers.

your back window or the trunk rubber is leaking. see if you can talk a small friend into going in the trunk with a flashlight and take a garden hose and literally soak the rear of the car.i had the same problem and mine was the rear window was leaking on both sides from the top

License plates are needed for car identification. When a license plate expires, the plate must be returned to the local department of motor vehicles.

please tell me how to remove the heater to get too the heater coil

it is located to the left of the steering column

The thermostat should be a 195 - the temp is right. Check the fuel rail pressure - and check the fuel pump. You may be suffering from vapor lock due to low pressures.

The MAP sensor is located on the throttle body. There are two screws that secure it in place.

I would suspect the relay on the firewall under the plastic cover of the drivers side.

Fuses should be at the lower end of the steering column left side by the firewall Relays should be under the hood by the passenger side firewall may have to remove a plastic cover

take off the right wheel and the cover wall and you wll see it

the fuel filter is located on the drivers side near the back wheel on the bottom of the car in a bracket. hope that helps you.

The rocker arms are located under the valve covers. They are simple to remove. Remove them and crank the engine over to make sure all of the rocker arms are moving.

Transmission fluid MUST be changed every year to avoid problems with varnish buildup in the tranny.

Ball joints wear alittle quicker than most.

Alternators wear out faster (Common to front drive GM vehicles)

Water pumps wear out a little faster too. Thats all I have found with my 93.

I can't specifically answer your question on that vehicle however, working on GM vehicles for more than 35 years, I find it to be a common problem. I own a 1984 GMC pick-up with the 350 engine. I always carry an extra Ignition Controle Module and a Coil with me. I have had them both go bad at any given moment. Just a GM querk that no body has ever given much effort to correcting. I have also seen this on numerous other GM vehicles.

there is a fuse box under the dash by the emergency brake, i think it is the last red fuse of the second row; there is also a major fuse box under the hood in the engine compartment on the firewall. these clip off easily after you remove the cover which is on top and bordering the wipers - there is 2 dial knobs you turn by hand.

The biggest difference is in the interior. The Eighty-Eight has a six-passenger seating configuration with a split bench seat up front and the gear selector on the steering column, while the LSS has a five-passenger configuration with the same front and rear seats as the Aurora, although with a manual lumbar adjustment in place of the Aurora's two-point power lumbar adjustment. I'm also under the impression that it has somewhat stiffer suspension than the regular Eighty-Eight.

The LSS also includes a host of standard features that are optional on the Eighty-Eight, including 16-inch alloy wheels, a tachometer, electronic climate control, self-dimming rear view mirror with compass, and fog lights.

Yes, the supercharger on a 1994 Oldsmobile can be removed altogether. However, this will likely require modifications to the intake and exhaust systems, as well as adjustments to the engine's tuning to accommodate the changes in airflow and performance. Additionally, you may need to replace or modify components such as the intake manifold, belts, and possibly the engine management system to ensure proper operation after the removal.

Follow the fuel line down from front of the carburetor.

If you don't have the right tools don't attempt to change your struts. Getting the struts of is, easy but you have to have a spring compressor once you get them off also you need a workbench with a vice to remove the spring. Very Dangerous without proper tools.

On a 1998 Oldsmobile, the blower motor resistor is typically located under the dashboard on the passenger side, near the blower motor itself. You may need to remove the glove compartment and possibly some lower paneling to access it. Look for a small rectangular component with electrical connectors attached. Always ensure the vehicle is turned off and disconnected from the battery before attempting to access or replace it.

It's a 8 Cylinder, 6.5L, 4 Barrel Carb.

where is the location of the horns on a 1990 Oldsmobile 98

No pictures...but its a messy job if its a 3.8. The tensioner also doubles as a coolant passage. Bolts hold the tensioner to the side of the head along with o-ring seals. Heater core lines unclamp on the back side of the tensioner. Might have to take off the alternator and upper motor mount for access to the bolts. If its only got a cracked housing and not completely useless. Try some industrial zip ties and mighty putty as a repair. Mine cracked a bit during a belt replacement. So far I have @ 8,000 miles on zip ties and mighty putty without a problem.
