Q: 1995 Olds Cutlass Cierra LS stalls while driving
I have a '95 Olds Cutlass Cierra LS. The vehicle frequently stalls while driving, but starts right back up and I can continue driving. There is no warning. Some days it doesn't happen at all, others it happens 3-4 times on a 10 Mile trip.
My car has 138000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
There are many potential causes for your concern. Stalling often means the vehicle is getting too much air or not enough fuel. It can also indicate a problem with the ignition (the crankshaft position sensor is a common problem on these vehicles) or starting/charging system. If the check engine light is on, the first step would be to check for diagnostic trouble codes. These codes serve as a starting point for any further diagnostics. I recommend having a professional, such as one from YourMechanic, diagnose and repair your stalling issue.
