1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 3.1L from North America
Summary:
The car is a bit grumpy, but will perform reliably if maintained
Faults:
Dashboard displays work at will.
Gas tank float may be stuck at full.
Electronic sensors are unreliable.
The coolant leaks.
The tape player won't eject my tape, and I can't listen to the radio until I get it out.
General Comments:
I just bought this car a week ago for $1400.
So far, the bugs I'm experiencing are about the same as other reviews have mentioned.
The car looks great, no rust at all, and when the electronic displays work, the interior is mint.
The shifting is a bit harsh, especially at the first few lights.
The car is not happy to move before the coolant temperature reaches about 40 C. If it's too cold, it will just stall.
This cart has started first shot every cold winter morning, and once it gets going, it's a little tank.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

About the revving and dying. I had a 1989 Olds Cutlass Supreme that did the same thing. It was the brain/main computer that went out/bad. It eventually got to the point where it wouldn't start. It was kind of pricey to replace (over $1000) but after which it was back to normal. Who knows maybe you can find someone to replace it for cheaper.
