Do you have pictures of the location of a 2000 Cadillac Catera crank sensor?

The sensor mounts next to the oil filter lower right rear side of the engine. You will need to jack up the car or use a lift to change it easily. The wire from the sensor runs along the top of the exhaust pipe to the top rear of the engine, make sure the new wire is off the exhaust pipe as much as possible the wire will lose connectivity with age due to the heat andf the motor will die after it heats up. Sorry no pic. Jim.

How do you change the fuel pump on 1997 Cadillac catera and where is the relay for the same?

Hi, Fuel pump is in the gas tank, you must lower the gas tank to replace it. fuel relay is a box under the hood. mine was the purple 30A one closest to the steering wheel and closest to me standing in front of the left tire. If your catera is turning over but not catching fire do not replace the fuel pump first. Mine had a problem starting or staying started and it turned out it was only a 10.00$ relay but it was not the fuel relay. It was instead the engine control module relay which was next to the fuel relay. I found this after wasting my money on a fuel pump and crank shaft sensor. The control relay i guess tells the car not to continue firing or it cuts off the fuel to the spark. Replace that first its much cheaper if so happened you had the same problem I did.
