SOURCE: fuel pump

well most likely you have a short in the wire harness. Since your fuel pump cut out due to a blown fuse the short is somewhere on the fuel pump wires. check all the wires on the fuel pump to make sure they are not frayed. if they are replace them or for a simple fix use electrical tape.

SOURCE: 92 Cutlass Ciera

if the lights light but don't blink you have a bad flasher if the don't light at all try you 4 way flashers and if they don't work you need a multi-function switch that controls brake light and blinkers and 4 way flashers.

let me know what you have and what you don't and i can better help diagnosis the problem with you.

It sounds more like it's a suspension problem. Pull your from wheels off and examine the CV joints, boots, and take a look at your shocks to make sure they are in good condition. Your diagnostic tool, as far as I can tell, is picking up a problem somewhere else in your vehicle and has nothing to do with your front end suspension.

Cant find fan relay on 92 olds cutlass ceira 3.3

Hi!!
Check the Relay Pack located to the left of the radiator (standing in front of the engine) there are 3 relays together, the one closest to the radiator, is the Cooling Fan Relay.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa!!

I swapped a complete 3.3 out of a 92 cutlass ceira into my 94 grand am and now i dont get spark. are the crank shaft sensors the same?

there is nothing the same on the two the 1992 has computer command control system and 1994 has the OBD II system so none of the 1992 sensors or injectors will work with the 1994 on board computer system......SORRY

Add a bottle of fuel system cleaner to your gas tank. Gumout is best in my opinion for an off the shelf product. Do this about every other tank of fuel for a while and see the difference.
