What is your question?
have a 1994 olds cutlass supreme s 3.1lt and having issues in it cutting off @ low speeds and a low ldel speed. the shop tried to put on a NEW IAC,made it run worse, then a sensor going to it,same thing,they even cleaned the throttle body nothing. Took it to another shop to put on a new CRANKSHAFT SENSOR,it was running ok for about 3 mins, then the same thing happened.I had it towed back to the shop, which I didn't have to pay for and they have done just about everything to cure it,another CRANKSHAFT SENSOR didn't do it, they scanned it and found that it was a bad EGR VALVE, mean time they cleaned out the old one which was dirty,they cleaned out my fuel injectors,which was REALLY dirty,they even put on a NEW EGR VALVE the samething.They asked what have I done in the part year,put in a coilpack,plugs wires,they are also checking those as well,so also checking the alternator.I'm stuck now.What else could it be?
How long has your 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme had this problem?
since Feb 2021

Hello, when a shop "tries" a crankshaft sensor, I know you need a new shop. It's important to find out if you are losing fuel delivery, ignition spark or have an air intake problem for your stalling. Then, you trace down to find out what is not working correctly. www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
a lot of things have been tried so far, a NEW ERG VALVE, cleaning out the old one, changing out the MAP, cleaning out the fuel injectors.They asked what have I've done within the last 5-6months,I put on a new coil pack, plugs and wires. I'm looking at the possibility of a bad alternator which hasn't been replaced since July 11 2005 . From what I'm told I have NO vacuum leaks.I have replaced a FUEL FILTER and a NEW PCV. Should I have them check my air filter & the air filter box, which is held on with NO SCREWS,just zip ties.The throttle body was cleaned again also
as of today my car has been in the shop for 120 days ( 4 months ).I was told that it needed an a/t control solenoid, which they said they do NOT do that kind of work, which back in 2015 they DID install a transmission for me & I could NOT see why they couldn't do the work. They said they would tow it back to my house, which with all the other work that was done,it wouldn't be safe to drive, but they gave me an transmission shop that they used. I didn't heard from them in about 1 1/2 weeks so I called & they told me that THEY were taken it to the transmission shop.The guy that was suppose to do this gotten sick.This is where I am right now. I do think that @ this ponit that I should have to pay for any other service since it hhas been there since April 9,but the state inpection.So what do you think they should do?
