Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or not, but it seems like maybe someone here can help me.
I've got a 1992 Oldsmobile 88 3.8L. A few weeks ago, it started intermittently running very roughly after warming up a bit. At stop lights, it dies unless I put it in "Park". Sometimes I can't get much acceleration, and there's raw fuel/white smoke coming from the exhaust when this problem occurs. It does this most of the time, but not always. If the car dies and I restart it a couple of times, it will usually get me back home with no further trouble. I don't drive it very far because I can't trust it to get me anywhere. My father and I tried changing the ignition module, MAF sensor, the coils, and the coolant temp sensor today, after all those things were suggested by mechanics/auto parts stores. None of them worked.
When I start the car, if I let it idle for a few minutes, it will start missing a cylinder, spitting white smoke/raw fuel out the tailpipe, and then quit. My father said he thinks one cylinder isn't firing. Anyone got any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate any input.
The only two error codes I get are a 66 (low freon in the A/C) and a 58, which has something to do with the security system I think. Either way, I don't think either one of those is linked to this problem.
