Why would an engine stall out when driving down the road?

Asked by jarden1982 Jan 01, 2012 at 12:06 PM about the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 92 olds cutlass supreme stalls out when I am driving down the road. I recently had the catalytic converter replaced along with the upstream oxygen sensor as well (since it was bad). I have also had the spark plugs and wires replaced, switched out the fuel filter & cleaned out the throttlebody too. I noticed while driving or sitting at idle, there was black smoke coming from the exhaust. I had trouble passing inspection this year, its the first time I have really had trouble passing inspection. I went to go to the grocery store just a little while ago & my service engine soon light came on & would not go above 35 miles an hour. Any help in appreciated. Thanks.

i might check to see how much fuel presure you have may be a bad fuel pump

My Oldsmobile temperature gage inside the car will show over heating with needle going to max temp and seconds later going back to normal temperature just as quick. I have replaced the intake manifold gasket, temperature sensor, thermastat and radiater cap. I also have tried to burb the system by placing a no spill funnel on the radiater fill inlet and let run for over an hour. The car would burp every few minutes when what I believe was when the thermostat opened and that is when the temp gage inside would go to the max. 2 Answers
