I use a Budge 4 blue cover for my 96 Olds 88 when parked at work. Cuts inside temp from 140 or 150 deg F to 120 on hot, still days. Leather seats and dashboard have remained in good shape. Keeps paint aerosol from the industrial environment from settling on the paint on windshield. Takes about 1 to ...

Thanks for the comments. I don't understand how all of our apparent facts fit together. The gage was a new loaner tool. See my other post for details. In the end, the new fuel pump made the difference, and that was a 13 psig increase measured as 25 to 38 psig. Runs great now. Spec is 40 to ...

I wouldn't worry too much about your fuel pressure at 36 to 38 psig. Check my post on P0300, 305, and 171 codes. My new restored pressure is 38, but it was as low as 25 psig. As long as the engine was relatively cool, it ran fine even at that low pressure. I suspect the injector spray pattern might ...

I found this site two weeks ago after a google search for error codes on my 96 Olds 88 LS. Problem solved after reading some of the discussions, so I love this site.

My wife inherited a 1992 Olds 88 Royale from a meticulous relative with a GM Service Manager son. It now has 240k on it and still ...

My second Olds is a 1992 88 Royale. It had the same issue. Stalled while turning and that was made worse at lower tank levels. Running with less than 1/4 tank was not advised at all.

Dropped the tank and found white plastic baffles to be broken with pieces here and there. The baffle apparently is ...

Update:
Test drive on the way home yesterday; 35 minutes idling in stop-and-go traffic with coolant temp at 200 deg F - no problem this time at all. Tried a hot re-start after shopping for 10 minutes; still no problem.

Problem solved it seems.

A hacksaw blade will work if you can insert it between the screw cap and the bracket. You'll only be able drag two or three teeth across the screw's side at a stroke as you flex the blade and push / pull it, but eventually it will cut all the way through. I did this on a 92 Olds 88 last year ...

I'm new to the group. Reading one of your threads helped me get to the bottom of the problem I've had with my 96 Olds 88 LS, so I've joined to share this success story that might help others (and to gloat a little).

My 88 has 214 kmiles. I've had a problem with idling and hot starts for the past ...
