1992 Oldsmobile cutlass ciera s 3.3 liter V6. While driving or idle in park, the idle kicks up high and the check engine light comes on. This symptom is not constant. It comes and goes sporadically. After a short while the idle will return to normal and the check engine light will turn off. During the times the check engine light turns on and I turn the vehicle off, it gives me difficulty starting it again. I have to press the gas down while cranking over the engine to start it.

First thing to do is get the codes read at a auto parts store. If there are no codes get a can of throttle body cleaner and follow the directions. Clean the maf sensor.

Be sure coolant level is correct. Then perform an OBDII scan of the stored fault history. Look for a coolant temp. sensor fault

Have you read out the diagnostic trouble codes? Since the check engine light has come on, there should be one or more stored diagnostic codes. Since your 1992 is before OBD-II became the standard (in the US at least) you'll need to do either the wire/paper clip method or find someone with an OBD-I scan tool for GM products.
