My 1994 olds delta 88 3.8 engine?
My car just stop running on me while I was driving. After posting my problem on this web site someone told me to change the crank censor. That was part of my problem,however that didn't get my dash lights to come on ect. when you turn the key forward before you start the car up. I purchase a new starter, the car turn but it won't start up I'm getting plenty of gas to the engine the engine module was tested and it was good. Thats not the problem. What could it be that would stop your dash board lights from coming on. I checked all of the fuses under the dash and under the hood. Can someone please answer my question

Check the in line fuse links connected to the starter for continuity.You may have a blown fuse in one of them.
It is tough to answer electrical problems over the web but it sounds like you have two problems, a no start and no dash lites. If your igniation control module was checked and is ok and you have a crank sensor you have DIS distrubtorless ignitation system, but you need to find out if you are getting spark at the plugs, just pull a plug connect a plug wire and ground the plug while cranking over the motor and look for spark, rember you have an Electronic control module that controls your emissions systems and your motor. If you have a digital dash like my GM you have a Body control module that controls that. I accedently pulled that fuse one day and lost my radio, heater controls and fuel info.
Kenny: Your battery in all probability desires changing if its 5 or extra years previous, and you will be sure that by using in to an AutoZone or improve vehicle components save or comparable to have the battery and charging device examined. till you get a popular good battery and clean battery connections interior the vehicle, you are able to no longer diagnose any vehicle electric/ digital issues. there has been an excellent style of ignition module and coil %. disasters on your vehicle. in case you nevertheless have issues as quickly as you get a clean battery, point out whether the vehicle won't crank in any respect, or that it cranks yet won't start up. The digital ignition module can actual be warmth gentle and intermittently fail and then recuperate so as that it must be undesirable and yet bypass the attempt on the vehicle save. some attempt centers even warmth up the module on a similar time as sorting out it to be sure if it fails decrease than finished working temperature.
Sounds like an electrical problem, perhaps a broken wire somewhere. It would be a matter of using a test light to see where the power stops. You might have to have it looked at by your mechanic.
if your engine light is coming on,there is a sensor telling you that there is a low oil,low coolant,oil pressure,or all kinda things causing the system telling the module not to let the engine start... hook it up to a reader and see what system is causing the active code...
