I have a 1989 olds 88 3800 engine it misses and i get code
#13 please what? is that.
JK:
Code 13 is the oxygen sensor circuit.
Misfires can be anything from basic spark plugs, coils, plug wires, or injectors.
Thinking back, the ECM(computer) were also known for causing oxygen sensor
codes and misfires of 1 or more injectors. With the age of the vehicle, it would need
to get checked out at a shop.

1997 Olds 88
Engine size = 3800
Repairs for this problem = Tune up, Replaced broken vacuum lines
Question: Transmission wants to shift to overdrive too soon then back and forth
drive-overdrive or sometimes 2nd-3rd. Its not as bad when in cruise control but it still wants
to surge when not under load.

Answer: The surging you are feeling and the back and
forth gears may not be overdrive, but TCC- torque
converter lockup. You can test for that feeling by
getting to about 40 MPH steady then touching the brake
pedal This will disengage TCC. If this is the dame
feeling, you may have a TCC solenoid acting upo or a
valvebody problem. Try a filter and fluid change.

1996 olds delta 88. 3800 V6
Warning lights = ck eng codes = p0107 p1107
Question = what is causing a code of p0107 p1107 on my delta 88.
Warning lights = ck eng codes = p0107 p1107
Question = what is causing a code of p0107 p1107 on my delta 88.
Answer: Both of those trouble codes are for the MAP sensor
(Manifold Absolute Pressure). If you take the plastic cover off of your
engine, you can see the MAP sensor is located in the upper intake
manifold, on the right side(passenger side). It is on top of the PCV
valve access and will have a wiring connector running to it. Usually
these codes set due to a bad sensor. It would be a good idea to
remove it and look for any debris in the hole. You can also remove the
top of the PCV cover by turning it counter-clockwise to release it from
the two tabs that hold it in place. If you have recently replaced the PCV
valve or need to do so at this juncture, be sure to not forget the two
o-rings that are inside it. Failure to replace these or if you leave one
out, you will have a major vacuum leak and the car will burn oil. If this is
the case, it can cause your MAP sensor codes as well. Your best bet is
to replace the MAP sensor, and PCV valve kit.
