Hi everyone thought I had everything solved. 88 olds 3.8 will just quit. It quit on me at a light the other day. Had a real hard time starting it. but it did finally start. Did the same to my wife today. Any suggestions changed the air filter and pcv valve. Run rough at idle. Thanks Dan

No codes? Try cleaning the throttle body, probably has alot of carbon build up blocking the IAC ports. Do u have a hunting idle(surging)?

You can get to the ecm from under the passenger side dash.

Does that have coil packs? Sounds like when my dads Grand Am need new ones a few years back.
