2002 Oldsmobile Intrique starting problem.
Engine size 3.5 v6
dash lights = SES
work done to repair = tune up spark plugs and wires fuel filter
tip/donation yes
tech = jk
question = 2002 Oldsmobile Intrique is hard to start after it is warmed up.
It cranks a long times then stalls and dies out. Have to start it again
and rev it up, then it idles good. Also my gas mileage seems to be
lower than normal. Is there a common cause for my problem?

Thank you for the tip / donation
By what you describe, this sounds like one of two common problems.
Either the fuel pressure regulator is leaking fuel and causing a rich condition.
This will cause the engine to flood out.
Or since the check engine light is on, you will need to get the system scanned
for codes. You may have a trouble code like "P1374" for the "crank shaft
position sensor".
First step is to get the system scanned to see what code is stored. If a code for
the crank position sensor, then it will have to be replaced.
I will send pics of the location of the fuel pressure regulator and the crank
position sensor. Let me know what you find.......

Thank sooooooo much !. The fuel regulator was leaking. Got it replaced and
the code for a rich oxygen sensor cleared, now it starts and idles perfect. You
guys were GREAT !

Answer: If you're sure the battery still has a charge, and the car won't
crank, you could possibly have a bad starter motor. You should check
for power to the starter when you hold the key in the crank position. This
can be done with a test light at the purple solenoid wire at the starter
and the other end on ground. If you have power while turning the key to
crank, then the starter is bad. If you show no power, then you have an
ignition problem. You'd need to check the ignition cylinder and ignition
switch to make sure they are functioning correctly. Other items can
cause the car not to crank as well, such as a theft deterrent problem,
body control module or pcm problem. Those would have to be checked
out at a dealership that has the proper scanning equipment.
