Its a hot start issue.

Can be related to low fuel pressure or problem with crank sensor.

I have no spark. Changed the CSS and still no spark. I also changed the Coil packs with a junk yard 1. Does anything else control spark other then ECM?
Thanks

SOURCE: 1991 Olds Cutlass with a 3.1 engine will not start

Most likely it's a fuel pump relay. It's on the panel under the hood.

SOURCE: My 1991 olds cutlass ciera has been running hot.

It sounds like one or both of two problems. The radiator cores may be clogged and not letting enough coolant through, or the radiator and condenser fins may be clogged and not letting enough air through. The only other thing I've seen with the same symptoms is an A/C unit running too much pressure on the high side which overheats the condenser and in turn the radiator.

My 1991 olds cutlass ciera has been running hot. Had the thermostat replaced, the fan runs fine but I still have a problem of the car running hot while the air conditioner is running. Please help!

Power windows on a 1993 cutlass supreme won't go up.

Sounds like the window motor is bad. It is pulling to many amps and poping the circuit breaker in the motor. When the breaker cools, it starts again.
