Starting Problem intermittent with 98 Oldsmobile Achieva

Asked by Richard Aug 27, 2010 at 12:43 PM about the 1998 Oldsmobile Achieva 4 Dr SL Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Sometimes I have to hold the ignition on for a while before the car will stay started.  Other times it cranks right up- It doesn't seem to matter whether the car has been running a while or not.  It runs great once I get it started.
