BOTH types of ignition coils were used on 1988 Cutlass Ciera. Type 1 is a single unit with 3 coils built into it. If one coil goes bad, you must replace the entire unit. Type 2 incorporates 3 separate coils mounted on the control module. These coils can be replaced individually. (See picture below) You simply have to LOOK at your ignition coils to see which type your Cutlass is equipped with. Please note that these systems are NOT interchangeable.

Will a a/c compreeor on a 96 lesaber 3.8 fit a 88 cutless ceria 2.8

I don't believe it will. in 1988, the industry standard freon was R-12. around 93, all GMs were switched over to R-134A. R-12 connectors, charge ports, and even seal tolerances are very different, so an R-134A compressor cannot hook into an R-12 system. You would be better off trying to find another compressor from an 88. I hope that helps.

Where is the cam sensor located on a 1994 olds cutlass cerias

with a 3.1 liter , remove and install directions are remove serpentine belt , remove power steering pump assembly , then remove sensor harness , sensor bolt , remove sensor , so it sounds like behind the power steering pump assembly area if that makes sense . it has to be real close the the cam gear , you should be able to find it .
