White92Cutlass Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Need some help from the Gurus here. 1992 Cutlass Supreme 3.1, automatic stumbles on acceleration for a second and dies at times when accelerating from a stop (within a few feet). Shop threw parts at it, issue not fixed. Shop put new fuel pump, new fuel filter, 2 new coils, new coil pigtail, 3 new spark plugs, new throttle position sensor, new PCV and hose, and new crankshaft position sensor. Second shop said that bad fuel injectors was the problem and they guaranteed that that would fix it (for $1,600). I took it from the shop and replaced all 6 fuel injectors myself along with the upper intake gaskets for $80. However, issue is still there. Only code it is pulling is 45- left bank oxygen sensor. I unpugged the upstream oxygen sensor harness- it still dies. Also has irratic idle at times (up or down 500 rpms). Any help would be greatly appreciated- thanks!

Psych0matt Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Have you checked for vacuum leaks? You said you did the uim gaskets, wondering if the lim gasket is leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurkey Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) What is the fuel pressure just before the engine stalls? What is the cranking compression pressure of all six? Connect a scan tool, look at the data stream. Short- and long-term fuel trims, engine coolant temperature, O2 sensor readings and cross-counts, EGR operation, MAP sensor values, and all the other sensors/actuators. Have you followed the diagnostic procedure for the Code 45, or are we just ignoring it? Edited November 5, 2019 by Schurkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) This is very odd........an OBDI vehicle does not make use of a *left bank* oxygen sensor..... there is only one in the system & that is just before the cat. You're also misreading the code 45....that does not suggest that the o2 sensor is at fault....that code is telling one that there is a rich situation where the fuel mixture is concerned. Removing the harness from the o2 will not correct that issue. Did either of those *shops* test the FPR for proper function?

This almost sounds exactly like what my monte Carlo was doing when the fuel pressure regulator went bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I will test the FPR, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Tested the fuel pressure regulator. No sign of fuel when removing the vacuum hose. 39 with key on and not started, 36 with engine idling. 44 when vacuum hose is pulled off when it is running. Are these numbers within required specifications? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Those all sound good, no rich condition there, with the engine running one pulls off the vacuum line to the FPR & the pressure should rise, the vacuum to the diaphragm keeps the pressure regulated to what is needed in a high vacuum scenario (idle/no throttle). Soooo........the next time this situation occurs (if at home) immediately pull all the plugs, look for signs of flooding in any of them, if all look dry & somewhat normal (tan colour, fluffy brown deposits) that would suggest they are all firing normally & the engine is not running rich.

White92Cutlass Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 White smoke coming from exhaust- so much that I thought it had blown a head gasket. Car does not get hot. Exhaust smells strongly of gas and lots of condensation dripping out of exhaust pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Normal" hasn't looked like that around here for decades. Around here, unleaded gasoline burns so clean it takes thousands and thousands of miles to put color on the plugs. I'd expect them to look virgin-white (at least the three new ones.) What kind of shop puts three spark plugs into a six-cylinder car? Were they the rear-bank plugs and someone already replaced the fronts? PUT A SCAN TOOL ON THIS CAR. Look at the data stream. And does Code 45 come back when it's cleared? Did you ever bother to follow the diagnostic procedure for Code 45? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend and I trailered it back to Missouri because the shop guaranteed that fuel injectors would fix the issue but they wanted a fortune to do it. The car was on a scan tool at both shops in Oklahoma. Only code it ever pulled was oxygen sensor. The only scan tool I own doubles as a paper clip. Again, I am not a mechanic, so I haven't got a clue what the "diagnostic procedure is for code 45". Taking the car to a local shop so they can follow the diagnostic procedure for code 45. Thanks everyone for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I reset the codes and took it for a test drive. After an hour of driving, the check engine light came on. I pulled out the trusty paperclip and read the codes. It is now pulling codes 33, 35, and 45. Any idea what the problem may be going by these codes? Just trying to save my step-son some money by avoiding shop charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Code 33 is Map sensor circuit signal voltage is high.. vacuum is low, throttle plate is closed, situation lasts for more than 5 seconds...engine misfire or low idle rpm can set code 33 Code 35 is IAC circuit will set when the idle rpm is above or below the specified by 200 rpm for more than 50 secs Code 45 is O2 sensor (rich condition) that rich condition is the major cause of the 33 & the 35, find the source of the rich condition (as previously suggested) & the 33 & 35 will self correct.

Schurkey Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 An elderly O2 sensor can set a false "rich" code. I fought with that for two years, on and off, on my '88 K1500. Found nothing wrong...until, in desperation, I ripped out the O2 sensor and stuffed a new one in place. Instantly fixed the "Code 45 only at highway speed" problem I'd been having..

pitzel Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 O2 sensors go bad *long* before codes are set. They're only like $10-$15 now on RA, they pretty much should be changed every 60k mi I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Shop diagnosed the problem as a bad computer. I have two Cutlass computers from previous parts cars. One is from a 1991 Cutlass Supreme Convertible (3.1, auto) and one is from a 1993 Cutlass Supreme Convertible (3.1, auto). Is the 1991 computer the only one that would work in the '92 Cutlass (which is also a 3.1, auto)? Heard that '93's have a different trans than 92's and ecms can't be interchanged. Also, I need to switch some chip (PROM?) that is in the computers? What is the procedure for doing that? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55trucker Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) what is it that you are having problems understanding? in the OP's case he has a 1992 vehicle, the car platform is W (W body) the engine is T code (LH0) the ECM used in that platform/model/engine/year is 1227727 there are 5 memcal's used in that ECM casing.............. ARCX, ARZW, ATSN, ATSP, AUMY his original ECM prom chip will match one of those listed Edited January 6, 2020 by 55trucker jiggity76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARCX, ARZW, ATSN, ATSP, AUMY his original ECM prom chip will match one of those listed I took the ecm out of the 1993- the number on it was not 1127727 (that number was not on it anywhere) so I'm guessing that one won't work. I found the ecm from the 1991 Cutlass and all numbers on the outer housing are completely unreadable. The PROM has the exact same numbers as the 1992 PROM (Delco, 9733, 9733), but the little blue plastic casing that holds the PROMs in doesn't match. 1992 PROM casing says Delco BAUH 6334 and the 1991 Prom casing says AUSJ 2569. Will the 91 ecm still work in the 92 if I put the 92 PROM in it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 BAUH should be '92 T code W body.....I believe that AUSJ is the prom for T code W body 91, not sure if that is for a manual or auto trans. you need to know what ECM you have, both of those proms will work but the ECM needs to be the 1227727. I take it that what you do have are the weatherproof casings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that what you do have are the weatherproof casings? I bought the '91 with a blown head gasket and I took the ecm out of it myself about 10 years ago. It was an automatic car. My understanding is that all of the 91's had the 1227727 ecm so it should be interchangeable. I just put the 92 PROM in the 91 ecm and installed it in the 92 Cutlass. It started right up but idled much worse than with the old ecm and it still smoked like a freight train. I let it run and it died after about 5 minutes. Was hard to start again, but got it going and took it down the road. Died at a stop sign a half mile down the road and the battery went dead trying to start it. Got a jump start and drove it home. Died at my driveway and would not start again. Put jumper cables on it and tried off and on to get it to start for an hour but was unsuccessful. Any idea what the issue is? Thanks.

55trucker Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Is the engine running long enough to set either a code 51 or code 55?...ECM prom error & faulty ECM. A hard start situation can be caused by a CTS issue, if the ECM is seeing a too cold signal (out of range of that of the ambient temp) from the CTS that will make starting difficult and the engine will die.

White92Cutlass Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 No check engine light during the brief time it was running. What is CTS? Never had a hard start with the old ecm- always started immediately and always started back up immediately when it died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
