Engine Mechanical problem
1992 Oldsmobile 88 Automatic
My car is shutting down while I'm driving. I have noticed this happens when the temp gage gets a little above 200 maybe 225. However lately it is happening 200 and sometimes a bit below. It drives ok on the freeway but in town is where I notice the issue. Sometimes I can coast to a stop and restart other times I will have to let it sit between 5 & 45 minutes. I may get a little ways between dying sometimes I only get a block. I noticed that when the radio is on it seems to speed this process up. On occasion turning the heater on to lower the temperature works for a while. Lately that seems to do nothing. This is very dangerous I have a little one. The battery has been replace all connections and fluids checked. I have also noticed a slight drop in gas mileage recently. Any suggestions or direction is greatly appreciated! many thanks!
