Solid state components can definitely crap out at higher temperatures.
Changing the module might be worth a shot. Everyone needs a spare in the
tool box anyway.

Subject: Re: Few Questions On 1984 Cutlass Supreme

In a message dated 98-07-31 19:58:05 EDT, you write:

<< 2nd question: when
 driving, my car has a habit of idling very high even though I am coming to
 a stop.  For example, I come to a stop sign and hit the brakes, but the car
 is still idling high enough that, if I let off of the brakes, the car would
 accelerate to about 15-20 mph.  If I tap the gas while holding the brakes,
 the car will idle down properly.  I have had the choke replaced and do not
 think that it is from the carburetor.  Could this be an electrical problem
 from the engine computer sensors?  If so, is it easily fixable?  Any help
 would be greatly appreciated.  Oh, BTW, for tech purposes, the engine is a
 standard V6.

 Thanks,

 Shawn >>

To tell you the truth, this sounds like a lean mixture condition (at least
that's the way it sounds, somthing similar to the same thing when working on
the carbs on my bike).  Is the computer hooked up, or did that get "un-
installed"?  If you have access to the mixture screws, try turning them richer
(a little at a time), and see if this helps any.

Had an 82 Cutlass that did exactly the same thing. Drove me nuts. Here's the
culprit: there's an electric servo attached to the carb that the ECM uses to
control the idle sped. The servo has a switch in it that activates when
throttle is at idle, when the plunger is pushed all the way in by the
linkage. On my car the switch wasn't being pushed in. I "fixed" it by
putting a really stiff throttle return spring in parralel with the stock
ones. Never really found the underlying problem, got rid of the car before I
could.

Subject: Looking for '69 bumper

  Dear Olds friends,
            I've been looking unsuccessfully for a good used front bumper for
my 1969 442. Any chance one of you might have one for sale or know of someone
who wants to sell one. I would like it to be straight, without rust, and
fairly presentable since I plan on installing it now and then, down the road,
getting it re-chromed. All replys will, as always, be greatly appreciated.
                                          Thanks,

Bad idea to change brands unless the paint has fully cured (like 3 months or
more).

I'd be interested in the '68 H/O and the '71 W-30.
Let me know where to get them if you still have them.

A new editor was found within days of Penny's resignation.  The
announcement was made at the Springfield awards banquet.  The new editor
will be Clay Mollman of St. Louis, MO.  He is also the editor of the
National Antique Oldsmobile Club's "Runabouts to Rockets" publication.
Penny has apparently shipped 20-some boxes of materials to OCA President
Greg Childs, and he will be forwarding these items to Clay.  No mention
has been made of any missed issues, but I would plan on at least one,
which would be the September issue.  Then again, Clay may have a little
something together by then, kind of a transition piece, until he can get
up to speed.

The car was in really good shape, but I can't tell if it's a 442 mock-up
or an incorrectly restored 442. It has Cutlass Supreme grills, a C/S
emblem on the door panels, Cutlass Supreme wheel well moldings (the
short moldings) and I Cutlass Supreme hood w/ a '69 H/O hood scoop
setup.

They had 2 cars one good one and one they bashed up, it's good to know
that they didn't bash a perfectly good Olds, but they did a very poor
job of switching between the two. One seen it was all beat up, then the
next it was perfect again - go figure, I guess it's NOT for the car
buff.

Hey List

        On the subject of 350 exhaust manifolds there were some slight
differences. The 350 diesel ones on the trucks came with no block off plate
on the passenger side. They use a different sealing system than the regular
gas ones found on the cars. The 350 diesel cars used the same manifolds as
the gas engine ones with the bolck off plate. There was also a change in the
mid 70's with the different sealing system requuiring an exhaust doughnut to
be installed to make the sealing flange. The earlier ones had this cast into
them. W-31's used STANDARD 350 exhaust manifolds with the block off plate.
There were NO dual exhaust manifolds for the 350 or 330 cu in cars.

You know... in a word... that REALLY sucks!  I don't know if I like
some of Olds' latest moves... it's ignorance (not total ignorance...
but they certainly didn't play it up in their ads... and if I'm not
mistaken I believe that the lansing celebration was for the most part
organized by private individuals) of the 100th. anniv. was one thing
for instance (I'll bet when Chevy turns 100 by the time they get done
with their celebrations, ads, and sales... we'll be so d*mn tired of
hearing about it we won't really care how old they are)... this is
pathetic... THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORWARD THINKING AND TOTAL
DISREGARD (or is it ignorance) OF THE PEOPLE PLACES AND THINGS THAT
PUT THEM WHERE THEY ARE TODAY!!!!  If this is true... hurrah to the
City of Lansing for taking the initiative to preserve their
Oldsmobile heritage!  We've been looking at a pretty dismal future
for Olds lately... been thinking or at least hoping that some of
their newer models can help drag them back from the path of
destruction they've been following... and I must admit I've seen more
Oldses in the last 2 years driving around then I did 5 - 7 years
before (Intrigue is nice... there's the Aurora... plans for an Aurora
VI (I'm sure it will have the Buick corporate motor in it)) but with
some of the boneheaded things they've done lately... I don't know
what to think... BTW, where are they directing they're advertising...
it seems almost like their getting pushed out by GM... and the
current management does not seem to have the gumption to reach out
and take back what GM's been taking from them... there are no more
niches to fill... Chevy is the cheap division... Buick has taken
Olds' 1970's and 1980's place as the family car division... Pontiac
is the performance... or at least sports division... Cadillac is
still luxury... where does that leave Olds?

Sorry for all the VENTING... call it a bad day at work... BTW all...
I've gotten a new job... so I prob. won't be available at this e-mail

notice... still have the ETSU and rocketmail addresses though...

Normally, those little bulbs were on TOP of the radio, in a bulb holder
thingie that went into the radio housing itself.  Sometimes a small
removable plate covered them as well.  Without yanking the radio, I
don't know of any easy way to get to this bugger.

     Greg, I haven't had one of these apart yet, but I have one here in my
hand that is digital, but with knobs on opposite sides, like the "slide"
radios. Looks like if you take the radio out, and take the nuts off of the
posts for the knobs, the plastic "face piece" will come off. If the bulb IS
replaceable, it should be easy to get to I would think. These digital ones
require soldering to replace the bulbs, at least the tape deck bulbs do.

If the internal seals in your master cylinder are shot, then pressing on the
brake pedal will have reduced effectiveness, giving you that "spongy"
feeling. Another clue would be if the pedal slowly sank further to the floor
while you had your car stopped at a light

Pretty sure they were identical in every way; GM used the same parts on
those cars for a number of years (don't neglect cars from other divisions,
which would probably have the same parts as well).

>Is there any other place to look for the problem (I don't see ANY
>leaks)??

There's a LOT of places where it could leak; have you checked the entire
length of the lines for excessive corrosion? How are your brake hoses? If
your rear wheel cylinders start to leak, that fluid can just be sitting
behind those rubber cups, and seeping out without ever causing a puddle.

Could also be moisture in the fluid; when's the last time you flushed the
fluid and replaced it with new fluid? That's good to do every few years,
though you probably got most of the old stuff out by bleeding the system.

Very true. For example, I learned that the disk brake m/c for a '71
Cutlass is the same part as that used on a '79 Caprice and presumably
other full-sizers of that vintage as well.

Jim,

        I'm no paint expert, but I just bought a slew of PPG products to
attempt to paint my motorcycle.  I also will be using a HVLP gun.  PPG
recommends to use 10 psi at the gun (for HVLP), for basecoat/colorcoat and
for the clearcoat.  PPG also recommends not to wet sand the color coats.
Color coats need to be clear coated within 24hrs or another color coat needs
to be applied.  This is for the Deltron (DBU) and Delglo (DAU 82) lines.

under no circumstances should you wet sand the color coats with this system
or any other bc/cc system this will dull the finish and create an adhesion

Ok List,
   Here's one for the elite Olds guys..!! My 442 started running
rough the other day and I parked it and rode the Supreme around for
the remainder of the week. Well, I went out today and thought I'd start it up
and run it a while and see if I could cipher the problem to why it was running
so bad. Well, I turn the key and nothing  happens. Dead battery..!! And why I
ask myself..! Well, as I sit in the car an ponder the problem, I hear some sort
of noise coming from under the hood. Now this noise appears with the key in the
off position with nothing on. I ponder some more and search out the noise and
it seems to be some sort of electical motor running somewhere in the vicinity
of the A/C unit under the right side of the motor compartment. Whatever this
noise is, it has completely drained my battery and made the car inoperateable.
My question to the list is " does anyone have any idea what the heck is going
on with my 442??????" I have NO idea to what is going on with this car. I know
there are some really smart people on this list who MAY have had some
experience with this problem. If so please e-me direct and give me some insight
on this happening....!!!

Love ya all

  Never seen the first request.....haven't a clue to what your problem is.
If you want some help here, please make sure you explain what it is you
need, without the attitude.
'We' is at least the cooperation of two parties....you go first.

Hey Mick,

Welcome back.  I would also like to find the same piece of chrome that
she is looking for.  Anybody got one (or two)?

Hot down South this time of year, isn't it?  :)

 Now, I know this has been beaten to death, but IM sure its worth it for me to
 save the 4 wheel disc set up right?  Also is the sway bars good for my 67 a-

could it be the A/C compressor? if that clutch is shorting
out itcould make a humming noise and drain a battery. Just a guess.

Rough how?
Shaking?
Engine making unusual noises?
Trying to stall?
Sputtering?

Garage or in the open?
Was it hot there this week?

Really? 0 volts?
One time swapped points and tried setting with feeler guage. It started. And
drove. But when I tried to start it for the return journey....nothing. I
thought the distributor got wet or something.

I hear some sort of noise coming from under the hood. Now this noise appears
with the key in the off position with nothing on. I ponder some more and

Hmmmm.
Dunno why your a/c might be on...
Possible it is the blower motor?
(Nah, not likely..)

Have you done anything to the vehicle lately?
(you know like install an electric choke which feeds off of the a/c?)

Hope you track it down...
