RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Can you imagine the money you could have saved by having a professional shop do the correct diagnosis to begin with and replace the actual needed part or parts. Just sayin'. Actually you said it-"Process of elimination can become quite costly".
Same problem I had. I spent over $2000 on it before finding the cause. It was a bad multipurpose ground on the transaxle housing. Pull the air cleaner assembly off, dismantle the ground, clean it all up, and reattach it all. Be sure to disconnect the battery first. This ground is a pain to get to, and you have to use a backup wrench on the larger post hex in order to unscrew the pressure nut, or you'll rip off the connection eyelets. Ask me how I know...
The ground post is located under the air cleaner, and under the crossover exhaust pipe.
