Question
hi i know your not a oldsmobile guy but i would like to ask you anyway, i have a 1992 olds 98 and i think my fuel pump is gone bad, my car will start cold run for a short time but once it heats up it acts like its out of gas puttering and sputtering and then it shuts off and it wont start until the car cools or whatever made the car shut off cools (when the car is about to shut off, if i give it some gas it wont shut off, but eventually it does)
Jack;
Hea - I would first check your fuel pump.and choke, spray it clean with with choke and carb spray clean the carb . in and out where the choke linkage is than shoot some wd-40 on the choke. add a can of carb cleaner and dry gas to the fuel tank. see if that helps.
