Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, especially older models like the 1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, often suffer from oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.

Overheating

V8 engines generate significant heat, and cooling systems in older vehicles may struggle, leading to overheating issues.

Misfiring

Aging ignition components such as spark plugs, wires, and distributor caps can cause misfiring in V8 engines.

Poor fuel economy

V8 engines, especially from the early '90s, are typically less fuel-efficient due to their larger displacement and older fuel management systems.

Timing chain/belt wear

The timing chain or belt can wear out over time, leading to improper engine timing and potential engine damage.

Vacuum leaks

Older engines often develop vacuum leaks in hoses and gaskets, causing rough idling and performance issues.

Carbon buildup

Over time, carbon can build up in the combustion chamber and on the intake valves, leading to decreased performance and efficiency.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V8 engines with cast iron exhaust manifolds are prone to cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction.
