My 1998 Oldsmobile Integra security light is on and will not start it is solid

There is an inherit problem with these years of GM vehicles and their VATSS key system. There is a pair of small wires that run from the chip reader in the lock tumbler down the column and connect at the base of the column to the main harness. The wires break at the top by the lock tumbler. You have a couple of options on how to fix it, you can either bypass the VATSS system or you can replace the lock cylinder.

1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera 3.3L. My car ran fine, then I run out out of gas and can't get it to start. It fires but it's not getting gas??

There are two possible scenarios. The fuel pump is in the fuel tank and is lubricated and cooled by the gasoline in the tank. How the pump fares depends on how long the pump was running dry. or The fuel hasn't reached the engine. Check for fuel at the fuel rail in the engine. Check the fuel pressure with a test gauge.

Hot do I remove the upper rear seat of a 1999 oldsmobile Alero

Hello ... There should be either two bolts at the bottom of the padded part that go through either a tab flush with the metal floor or the metal that face the trunk. sometimes after you remove these bolts you have to press in firmly either close to the top or middle of the padding and lift towards the roof at the same time . I used to put my shoulder against it and lift at the same time and it would come out . They can be stubborn by times so be sure to apply lots of lift and push at the same time .. That is the way I got the last one out but things change fast and I could be wrong . No harm in trying . Some times the bolts at the bottom are covered by mat or a sealing paper so have a good look first . If it has a split seat that's likely not the way it comes out . Some times you can find the fasteners by sliding your hands around the outer edges too . Hope that helps .

Why does my 98 Olds not turn over

If you were smelling fuel, then the engine was running rich. One possibility is that the spark plugs are fuel fouled. First check to see if the ignition system is still working by checking to see if there is a spark going to the plug. Then check to see what the fuel pressure is.

2000 Oldsmobile bravada starter engages key off when battery cables are hooked up

Check the starter relay. Remove the connector to ignition key switch and try connecting the battery again. If it still does then you may have to rewire your starting circuit. The starter solenoid maybe stuck. Pull out the starter motor and bench test it. See this video: https://youtu.be/6x2hIOtBfzE

Is the 3.1 MULTIPORT F1 V6 engine in the 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme an interference or non interference engine?

Yes, I think that engine IS an interference engine. You will need to remove the cylinder head to check what damage has been done.

I'm looking for help please

Edited post for written English and Clarity. We don't do 'hook ups' here, that is other sites :>DYes, It has a timing chain and yours must be very loose. They normally have a tensioner, but yours doesn't. If you do strip it down, make sure you take lots of pictures, keep stuff in order of what was taken off, and also not the timing marks on the sprockets. There is NO margin of error. There are lots of pictures if you click on the Image tab.https://www.google.com/search?q=1990+oldsmobile+royale+88+timing+chain+replacement..
