Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: 1988 Olds Delta 88 wont start, blown fuse, delta 88


Question
I have a 1988 Olds Delta 88 and it won't start.  We replaced the plugs and wires and the coil pack and still we are getting no spark.  What could the problem be?  It was running fine and I drove it to Wal-mart and when I went to start it to go home, it wouldn't start.  Please help me!!!!

Answer
Hello Barbara,
I would check to see if power is getting to the coil when the ignition switch is in run.
Possible causes for power not getting there are:
Blown fuse, possibly marked Ign.
Bad connection, either at ignition switch, or elsewhere in the harness.
Blown fusible link, probably at or near the starter.Bad ignition switch.
