1993 Oldsmobile Silhouette Problems
Front Brake Rotor Wear Can Cause Pulsations
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
High Pressure Power Steering Hose Can Leak Fluid
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid and should be replaced if this is the case.
Poor Ride/Handling Due to Worn Suspension Struts
The front struts may show signs of wear, or be excessively bouncy ride at freeway speeds. This may begin to occur at around 75,000 miles.
Transmission Fluid Leak From Cooler Line
The rubber section of an automatic transmission cooler line may develop a fluid leak . In some cases the leaking section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this concern.
Engine Stall Or No Start Condition
The fuel pump may fail causing engine to stall and not restart.
Sliding door track and guides may become worn
The sliding door track and guides may become worn causing the sliding door to come off track.
Front door window regulators and guides may become worn
Engine Stalling Due to Mass Air Flow/Crankshift Position Sensor Failure
The mass air flow or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to stall intermittently. Proper diagnoses will be necessary to determine the cause of any stalling condition.
Engine Oil Leak From Intake Manifold Gasket
The intake manifold gasket can develop external engine oil leaks. The intake manifold will need to be removed and the gaskets replaced to correct this issue.
Engine Overheating Due to Water Pump Leak
The water pump may develop a coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.
Check Engine Light Due to Cam Sensor Interrupter Fault
The cam sensor interrupter (magnet) may become demagnetized and/or fall off of the camshaft gear causing the Check Engine Light (Service Engine Soon) light to illuminate. On higher mileage vehicles it would be advisable to replace the timing chain and gears if this problem were to occur as the timing cover must be removed to replace the interrupter.
