My 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is having the following issues:
-Cannot give it power in forward or reverse
-will coast if you don't give it gas, and pick up speed
-once it is coasting fast enough to shift to second, it drives just fine until you come to a stop and have to start in 1st again
I have replaced the transmission filter and fluid about a year ago, and this car has all new plugs, wires, coils, alternator, ignition module, throttle position sensor, and timing chain. I have done a lot of work on this car, and would like to keep it, but if this is going to cost more than $300-400 to fix, I may as well scrap this one and apply everything toward a newer vehicle even though I have dumped ~$500 into repairs in the last year already.
If anyone has any good ideas on fixing this myself, I have a week to learn/work on this, or try and find someone that will give me a couple hundred for it...
