Cadillac Catera

below the front bumper and behind the fasia on the driver side.

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.

There is a dipstick under the hood of a Cadillac Catera that you can pull to check your transmission fluid. You should do this when the engine is hot.

in the coolant bottle is a level sensor. (just as in the fuel tank) if this level sensor is bad, you have to change the sensor. In most cases, the unit is installed in the bottle before it is sealed at the factory. So you must change the whole bottle to fix the problem!

No your car just wont come out of park.

You take the disconnected battery cables and touch them together for ten seconds thus makeing your computer reset. then hook them back onto the battery + to + and - to - . it will take about five miles of driveing to let the computer re assess itself then you should be good to go.! good luck

On the low rear of the engine. It can be accessed from under the car only. It is held on by a single bolt.

turn your driver door lock with your key

Under the hood.....

6$ a year 6$ a year

it suggesting that you turn on your headlights do so and it should go off

GM vehicles are not equipped with an inertia fuel shut-off switch.

activates winter mode, makes it take off in third, says in the manual

The crankshaft position sensor bolt size isÊdependent upon the type of engine. In most cases the crankshaft position sensor 9/16.

Are you asking if the Catera HAS one, or are you asking WHERE it is? If you want to know whether or not it has one, simply look under the hood for the throttle cable. If there is no throttle cable coming from the firewall below the brake fluid reservoir to the front of the intake manifold, than it is an electrical throttle system; NOT a mechanical throttle (mechanical throttles have the throttle cable). If you already knew that but you're just wondering where the throttle actuator motor is, it is located on the side of the throttle body. It's going to be on the same side of the throttle with the MAF sensor located on the air intake. Hopefully this will help out, I actually just spent a week rebuilding the electrical throttle system on my 2005 Mustang GT. Despite the difference in vehicles compared to yours, all electric throttle systems are very similar. If you plan on working on your throttle system, THERE ARE A LOT, and I MEAN A LOT, of things you need to be sure you take into consideration BEFORE you disassemble any part of the throttle system. If you have any more questions, feel free to respond anytime. Oh Yeah - Failing to take into consideration the sensitivity and procedures needed to be taken while repairing/working on an electrical throttle system will result in AT LEAST 1 check engine light code, as well as not being able to drive your car whatsoever. Improper steps while servicing the system will more than likely result in virtually NO throttle response, well at least not enough to make your car move. Please be careful while doing anything with such a system until you know EXACTLY what you're doing. Not to act like a jerk of anything, but I just don't want you to suffer what I had to these last few days........GOOD LUCK!

If you have to crank and crank to get it started look for the coolant temperature sensor and change it. This is just one reason for hard start and is the most popular reason. Other reasons could be plugs, plug wires, coil pack, crank sensor, cam sensor and more.

yes its in trunk on the right

on the tranmission take off the big square pan

Take intake plenum out spacer block out fuel rail out (use oil on o rings to put it back) rear center top engine two bolts is your thermostat 3hr job for me

well not for how but cadillac cateras were only made from 1997 to 2001

not very, lots of quirky items with coolant loss via heater control valves or engine oil coolers. Nice cars though available at a great price.

I just replaced the coil in my 97 catera . its a real pain as it is not very accessible. It is mounted on the back of the engine block between the firewall and the engine. I removed the wiring conduit that runs across the top of the plugs, then using an 8mm - 5 point socket to remove the 4 mounting bolts on the coil . They are hard to reach and you will have to feel your way through it. you may want to remove the spark plug wires first as it makes it easier to access. Then unplug the feed wire which is a plug in attached to the end of the coil. If you want to see what you are doing you can remove the wipers. Then remove the cowl that extends from the window to the firewall. It is not hard to do this and you will have a bit more room to swing a wrench.

Its on the side of the transmission right next to the oxygen sensor on the driver side near the front of the car
