1990 190e 2.6 shuts off while driving sometimes

does it crank now?

1) you must pass the Scanner +computer you will have a exactly diagnostic.
2) However you must reset the ignition timing to the manufacturer specification, Does not matter if your Electronic Ignition(EI)
3) TEST the coil ignition for defective.
4) cables spark plug for open or faulty
5) spark plug for defective.
6) EI module for defective.
God bless you

Man that can be several things check the fuel pump and then the fuel filter

my 1st guess wd. be crank sensor

Code P1698 means
* P1698 PCM Failure EEPROM Write Denied
* P1698 -No CCD messages from the Transmission or Body Control Module (TCM or BCM) Probably needs a new PCM (Aka computer or ECU)
autocom can help you check your car and clear the fault codes.

HI, Your car (if it has the 4.6 northstar needs crankshaft sensors (there are 2 on your car) and there are updated sensors now for (phantom stall conditions) Thans RAY

First thing I would do is replace the fuel filter

1. You need to work on your gear or replace it.
2. Take your car for diagnosis.

You will get a clue to resolve it.

Sounds like a bad key switch assembly to me! Has any work been done on the steering column in recent times? It COULD just be a loose connection!

please tell me what to do when the abs light and service tractions lights show on my 2004 oldsmobile silouette van
