The Noth Star is a great engine, and 70 K miles is nothing for that engine. There are 12 possible resistance values. If you need additional details, diagrams or some copy about Owners Manual, click it to contact us. He passed away in April 1998. Answered on Sep 06, 2011 28 views hey there as long as nothing is wrong with the air bag the you can rest it by doing the fallowing 1 remove the power wire from the battery 2 press the brake for 10 seconds to drain the power out of the main car computer 3 put the power wire back on the positive terminal 4 start the car the problem should be solved if not you might have to get your airbags inspected by a qualified technician at your local gm dealer good luck! Basically, this was a manifold leak, and on the North Star Engine is not fixable as it is a sealed engine.
Head gasket failures, early transmission failures, and broken timing chains are common. Run, do not walk away from that car. The failure and current mileages were 90,201. The northstar motor is quick and responsive, and lately my fuel economy has been pushing 30 mpg on the highway! I would ask the dealer if the pcm can be programmed for the different gear ratio, they can give you a better and more definite answer. But what has me upset is that the striped screw that was causing heat from the engine to go into the coolant. Answered on Sep 11, 2011 885 views not sure here thats for sure as iam a europeon mechanic and just never seen this car so i cannot tell you where the crank sensor is but check around the front pulley area for a sensaor as you may have not reconnected it and the one on the camshaft if fitted ,sorry to be so vague but i just do not know where it is on this vehicle.
I don't think a 13 year old luxury car is the car for your nephew. She gave me the car. The car has approx 17,000 miles. You said it clicks, does it click once, each time the crank position is engaged? General Comments: Even though I have never liked Cadillacs, I have to say that it can be a smooth ride if you get the right kind. New newer ones 1998+ are even more costly. Additionally the cruise control was inoperable on the vehicle since purchase. It takes a lot of looking and patience top find a gem like that, but taking your time is worth it.
The good ones are out there, so take your time. The input speed sensor is in the trans in the side cover, the sensor could be bad or you also have other troubles the trans can last forever if you take care of it regularly, and if you say you changed the filter you must have droped the trans out of the car because the filter is in the side pan every 30k miles you need a trans flush, it replaces all the fluid. The signal wire is large purple wire, and make sure you are at harness side, not the starter side. Year of manufacture 1996 First year of ownership 2004 Most recent year of ownership 2006 Engine and transmission 4. Also disconnect the side air bag wiring yellow if equipped.
Not only that, when the timing chain breaks, the whole engine self destructs. If you can verify whether or not a signal is getting to the starter, we can eliminate all except the starter. I did the 30 minute leaving the key on and the car would not start. If you do, I'd start there. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer yet they were unable to diagnose the failure. Yes, I do know Cadillacs are V8's. Looking at the ignition key there will be a little pellet embedded in black plastic that has a resistance value.
Of course, this is all on the assumption that you don't have an aftermarket alarm system. If I drive on the freeway it doesn't give a code, it only occurs when I am driving in-town. That system is all by itself and can be bypassed if need be by measuring resistance across the pellet and getting a resister to match it and then wire it across the 2 tiny white wires under the steering column in the orange sheeth. Yes that silver piece is the pellet. The vehicle has been brought to the dealer numerous times, and he is unable to repair to our satisfaction.
No Review Date: 29th October, 2009 Faults: Front Brakes and Rotors. Frankly, I like the early 70s DeVilles, but I am stuck in a 70s time warp. I am 70 years old and was very scared. That car with the northstar engine is nothing but trouble. The pcm out of the 1997 sls will not allow me to get past the antitheif alarm. Later, 3 other repair shops all diagnosed blown head gasket.
Additionally, its possible and I suggest i f you need access to any information about your Cadillac, this is the place: Cadillac DeVille Owners Manual Hope this helps; remember to rating this answer and leave us a testimonial comment. The only cars I know anything about, really, are Volvo's. The vehicle was driven to the dealership and is awaiting inspection. This failure usually occurs at low rates 20-35mph of speed but especially when turning corners. What do the lights and accessories do at that time? Having to constantly refill coolant level.
The car was never abused and still smells new inside. All in all it was a beautiful car. The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's steering 30 problems. I almost could not stop with the engine racing and the brakes worn out. There is a humming coming from somewhere around my wheels. The vehicle was turned off.
Now if they would have given a guarantee I would probably have fixed it. Is it possible for you to take a picture of key and upload it, then I can point it out to you or to make sure you have pass lock 2 system and we are on the same page? They suggested donating it to a charity. Answered on Oct 04, 2011 592 views Hello: Move seats all the way forward, raise seat up as far as it will go. Many aftermarket alarms have a kill switch that disengages the battery or starter if the vehicle is being stolen. Answered on Oct 13, 2011 290 views Hi!! You an also do an internet search for recall info. The first thing I'd check is the battery. He should be looking for something like a mid sized car, a Malibu or equivalent, or a mid sized Honda or Toyota.
