Hi,

My 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 has had an intermittent start/no start problem since fall 2009. My mechanic has changed the fuel filter, spark plugs, mass air flow sensor, and crank sensor, and all these changes have not helped. I also used K100 dry gas and that hasn't worked. The no start happens at the cold start but not every day. Sometimes it won't start after several attempts for a couple of days and then it will start. Once the car engine is warm, I can drive the car and it will continue to start. It has become a very frustrating problem!!

Any ideas?
