Engine Stalls After Starting

Asked by GuruDD59N6 Sep 19, 2023 at 12:42 PM about the 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 4 Dr STD Wagon

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser (5.0) that will stall right after starting. It starts fine, and either briefly runs rough before stalling, or stalls immediately.

This is a new issue, as I replaced the battery last week and it ran fine then (and every other time).

Giving it gas doesn't help keep it running, and will cause it to stall quicker vs not giving it gas.

Check your battery cable connections. Make sure everything is clean and tight. Put Vaseline on the battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Hope that helps! Jim
