Bad coil pack?
If your Catera won't crank after warming up, it could be due to issues with the battery, starter motor, ignition switch, or fuel system. Check the battery for proper charge, have the starter motor and ignition switch inspected, and make sure the fuel system is providing adequate fuel to the engine. If problems persist, consult a mechanic for further diagnosis and repairs.
The process is time consuming... The intake manifold has to be taken off and the gaskets replaced due to the spark plugs being under the manifold. It would be best to take it to your dealer.
If you are seeing a spark then the switch should be changed out right away. The spark is created by bad contacts within the switch its self. These bad contacts will create heat and eventually destroy the switch. Make sure that the rating of the switch is greater than the load that is connected to it. The only time a switch might draw an arc is when it is opened but it should never arc when closing. Yes there should be a spark when a switch is put on.
High humidity on its own is not likely to cause an electric spark in home electrical systems. However, if there is a pre-existing electrical issue, such as frayed wiring or exposed electrical components, increased humidity could potentially make it easier for a spark to occur. It is important to ensure that your home's electrical system is properly maintained to minimize the risk of sparks and fires.
Simplistically, if our atmosphere contained only oxygen, then any tiny spark or flame would be enough to set anything flammable ablaze. More realistically, plants need carbon dioxide, and nitrogen is needed to make proteins, an essential part of all life as we know it.
"No, the Cadillac Catera would be considered a full size sedan due to its rather large size. In fact, Cadiillac does not make any small, or compact cars. They are rather well known for their large luxury cars."

$75 it has a computer sensor inside A locksmith told me that if I got a key from a junked Catera, he could reprogram the chip inside and make a new key for $25.
sports mode it supposeably changes the shifting points to make it accelerate faster
Start checking out your engine and transmission mounts. Check the rubber to make sure it isn't torn.
its your Oxygen censer
My 1997 Cadillac Catera does the samething! Normally can be done by the Coolant leaking ,Coolant needing to be flushed, a PCV Valve, Coolant Temperature Sensor, Themostat Sticking, oil cooler, and the list goes on. . You should most likely have a "Experienced" Mechanic look at the vehicle to do a pressure test to make sure you dont have any leaks and to see what is actually wrong.
To remove the radiator from a 2000 Cadillac Catera, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the coolant. Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, and disconnect the transmission cooler lines if applicable. Unbolt any mounting brackets and the fan assembly, then carefully lift the radiator out of its housing. Make sure to check for any remaining connections before fully removing it.
To set the clock in a 1997 Cadillac Catera, first, turn on the ignition or start the engine. Press the "CLK" button located on the radio or climate control panel. Use the "H" (hour) and "M" (minute) buttons to adjust the time, then press the "CLK" button again to confirm the settings. Make sure to set the correct AM/PM designation if necessary.
yeas you can i have 20 inch rims on mine for the front just make sure that you maintain 225 tires and for the rear you can go as wide as 245:
did u ever discover the problem?...My catera is having the same issue... Thx Try taking the cap off coolant tank, and running enging till all the air bubbles come out, as it sounds like you have a air lock in your cloolant lines. Water control Valve, very common on catera's. about $90 dealer only part. in my case it was my oil cooler, it had blowen a seal and was mixing my oil and coolant, the oil cooler is located in the valley of the engine, and installed would cost almost $1100.
