#136 of 185 Re: oldsmobile 98 regency stalls at stops and sharp turns [bolivar] by wcarnes1 Jul 05, 2008 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: bolivar (Jul 03, 2008 11:52 pm) Thanks for the reply. If it is that and I am able to fish out the baffle. Would it be OK to use the tank without a baffle? Maybe I could just keep the tank pretty full and avoid a problem with not having a baffle. Thanks for your help.

Replying to: wcarnes1 (Jul 05, 2008 5:46 pm) Well, there usually are more than one baffle in there. I think you will be ok if you pull one out. You may be able to hear the slosh, but I would think a loose baffle would be much worse wear and tear on the fuel pickup and pump than a little more sloshing.   You might have something else wrong. Loose baffle is just one thing that it might be.   Bad crank position sensor/sensors is another one, but these usually do not happen after a turn. They will just randomly shut down a car. And many times will not set a 'check engine' light. I am more familar with problems from them in 2000/2001 Cadillacs rather than - what did you say you had - a Pontiac?

Replying to: bolivar (Jul 05, 2008 9:37 pm) Thanks again for the advice Bolivar. I Have an oldsmobile. The car had this problem (not as bad) many many years ago and it cleared up. They just kept it full of gas and didn't have to worry about it. I think maybe the baffle has been loose in there for some time. Maybe it has just gotton lodged in a bad place now, which is causing the stalling. I find it had to be a fuel pump or a filter. This would cause a loose of power as well? It may not be too hard to drop the tank and check this out. If one is loose, I hopefully can get it out. If I can't Maybe I can replace the tank.

Replying to: dek1 (Jul 08, 2008 1:04 pm) The fuel    filter is located on the LH frame rail.      1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.    2. Relieve the fuel system pressure.    3. Clean all the fuel filter connections and the surrounding areas before disconnecting the fuel pipes in order to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system.    4. Disconnect the quick connect fitting (3) from the fuel filter outlet.    5. Disconnect the threaded fitting from the fuel filter inlet.      6. Remove the fuel filter bracket bolt.    7. Disconnect the fuel pipes from the fuel filter bracket.      8. Remove the fuel filter from the bracket.    9. Inspect the fuel pipe O-ring for cuts, nicks, swelling, or distortion.   INSTALL      1. Install the fuel filter to the bracket.      2. Connect the fuel pipes to the fuel filter bracket.    3. Install the fuel filter bracket bolt.      4. Connect the threaded fitting to the fuel filter inlet.    5. Connect the quick connect fitting (3) to the fuel filter outlet.    6. Tighten the fuel filler cap.    7. Inspect for leaks.   7.1. Turn ON the ignition for 2 seconds . 7.2. Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds . 7.3. Turn ON the ignition. 7.4. Inspect for fuel leaks.

Martha, You sure are having bad auto problems, with your toyota altis and now your galant.   But I do want to thank you for your elaborate descriptions of your problems, as a matter of fact you didn't really need give us all this detailed information about your problems.   Sudden brake downs to toyotas or galants cost $4,325 to repair.   To convert to hybrid toyota will cost about $127,000.   I hope I have been of help to you.
