I feel like I read the answer somewhere before but cannot find it with searches. 85 cutlass 3.8/200c. If I drive 30 miles back roads I have no issues. If I drive on the interstate for say 10 miles are so, once I leave the torque converter will stay locked in until a 3/2 downshift is forced (ie...

whats everyone doing for snow tires with 14" rims? im having a hard time locating some.

My 85 cutlass has had the check engine light on the past couple days. Dtc 21 present. Checked V at tps sensor and cant get below 1v. I swear this is the second sensor in 7 months time and this time it was an ACD from rock auto I put in it. 3 tps sensor in the last 2 years. What gives?

85 cutlass 231 v6, no check engine light, all stock. Started up Monday morning, ran perfect for 2 solid seconds and then shut off like somone hit the key. Resulted in a no start for the remainder of the day. Got home swapped out ICM and enter due to that's what the auto parts store had in...

Anyone have some good ones? HAYNES doesn't show squat with trans wiring. 85 cutlass v6 On my way home Friday night the tcc stopped locking. Then it would only lock under long periods of coasting like down hill. Once locked it would stay until I got to a moderate hill and then unlocked much...

here we go. 85 cutlass with a 3.8. i have fixed a ton of leaks (valve covers, intake, pressure sensor) now i still have a leak. over night about 3" stain will be on the ground in the morning. i think its only leaking while running and whats on the ground is just whats running off the engine...

Pretty much as the title says, replaced rear springs and the drivers side sits about 1.5" higher. I thought I installed everything right, it was a pretty quick job and all. If I'm not mistaken there are no alignment pockets correct?

85 cutlass 3.8. over rough roads such as a dirt road I have a clunk in the front end. sounds like it's on the drivers side and it's gotten progessivly worse. sometimes it can even be felt I in the floor board. front end seems tight, shocks and sway bar links are 6k miles old. anyone got any ideas?

hey everyone. i have an 85 cutlass with the 3.8 and dual jet. last october i had the carb rebuilt from i think J&J over in cali. if memory serves me correct it ran well all winter. here in maine. i then let it sit for 3 months because i didnt have summer tires and could not run it on the road...

as the title says. i have a 3.8 in my cutlass and when the a/c is on and high electrical load like at night is on, idle will be low enough to make the oil pressure/choke light glow. if i turn the a/c off, idle comes up and light turns off. the issue is the throttle kicker is not working. doesnt...

so I got my 3.8 cutlass running well and now I'm looking at making it handle well. new shocks helped a ton but I'm ready to go to the next step. this is my daily and will be used in all weather including Maine snowy winters. I was thinking sway bars would be a great place to start. I looked at...

so here's the deal. iv been chasing a stumble/hitch under light throttle, lock up condition. the more I'm driving the car the more I'm getting convinced it's the TC. there are times when it feels like I'm riding the brakes at 45mph. but usually it's just a hitch similar to ignition system...

iv searched and searched and found everything from .40 to .80 gap. the sticker on my 85 cutlass does not mention gap. currently plugs are gapped at .55 because I thought .60 was excessive. I have a pesky stumble at light throttle and I want to make sure my foundation is correct.

im still hunting the hesitation off idle and thought i would check and make sure the mechanical advance was locked up. pull the rotor and there is no mechanical advance, no weights or anything. seemed like when i revved it up with the timing light on it, it would change timing. wtf? lol

hey guys, 85 olds cutlass, 3.8. whole car is stock with no mods. just installed a rebuilt carb from J&J to solve my previous idling issues. iv been able to put some miles on the car now and its pretty nice except for just off idle. it will fall on its face, some times worse then others. if...
