Did you check the serpentine belt and its tensioner?
Sounds like it is loose.
Good luck and let us know. :)

Try reposting in the GM section of the forum for more results.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the serpentine belt and its tensioner. A loose or slipping belt can cause the battery light, poor charging, stalling, fluctuating RPM, and heavy or locking steering.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme LS reported weak performance, a battery light when easing off the throttle, difficulty turning at stops, repeated stalling, and the need for jump starts. The RPM fluctuated and the steering felt like it was locking before the engine died. An expert suggested checking the serpentine belt and tensioner for looseness, and the post was moved to the GM forum.
