Hey everyone
I got a quick question my gfs moms car is a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue, same engine as our cars but I got the older 89 3.8L, just curious she says the car stalls while driving, idleing.. anytime .. on the road.. in park.. etc.. First thing that pops into my mind is the timing chain, She says she had a tune up not long ago, oil change and alll... I figured just needs a tune up but if she already had that done??!? Could it be something with the fuel system? bad injectors?? it can almost be anything. What do you guys suggest I look into first. Thanks guys ... glad I drive a bonneville
