Which is the Direction of the current in resistor?
A resistor is bi-directional meaning current can flow in either direction. Current flows from positive to negative.
When the convertor gets hot enough to glow red, replace it immediately, and also resolve the original cause of the problem! Chances are, your next converter will soon go bad, if the original problem is not fixed.
Catalytic convertors (Cats) normally operate between 800 and 1500 degrees without glowing red. When the convertor gets hot enough to glow red, it is extremely dangerous. It can even burn the rug above it. [Say, This happened to me and caused a fire in my car while I was parked!] God forbid if anything touches the Cat: a plastic bag, dry grass or gas fumes at a gas station. It just is not worth it to ignore such trouble.
. Check to make sure that the plug wires are installed in the proper order. If the plugs are not firing at the right time, this will cause unburned fuel to be sent through the exhaust to the Cat where it ignites, causing the converter to glow.
. According to the Cadillac service manual, this will Glow Red after a few miles of driving if the Converter is faulty or needs to be replaced. -TOM
. One should remove and clean the spark plugs about every 10k miles or so, and remove and replace the spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor approximately every 30k miles. To go much longer than this can, and eventually will, cause the catalytic convertor to become clogged with carbon build up.
. Be sure to ask your technician to check for good exhaust flow. There are four possibles for restricted exhaust flow: 1) The Cat is undersize. You may have replaced the Cat, and they supplied a cheaper model; 2) The Cat became defective, and the matrix collapsed; 3) the Cat or muffler is clogged; 4) one of your exhaust pipes are bent and not letting the exhaust flow correctly. Check the exhaust pipes everywhere for extreme bends, especially the tail pipe.
ANSWER. When a cat get's red hot, there is usually one reason why: Because it is always getting unburnt fuel from the engine, which accumulates (carbon), which ignites and get's charcoal-hot. Almost always, the problem originates upstream of the cat. If the O2 sensor is bad, that can be sending the wrong message to the computer. It can be due to bad plugs or bad timing (but you said you replaced the plugs, wires, distributer cap, etc). The next after those would be the ignition coils.
The next question I would ask is: Does the engine temperature guage show Hot? If so, I would suspect the ignition control module, which has alot to do with engine temperature. Try a used I.C. module from a junkyard to see if it is better (or not). Otherwise, always go with new electrical parts.
How do you change fuel pump on 1998 cadillac deville?
On my 95 I had to pull the fuel tank out. Once you have it on the floor it is pretty easy to see what the next steps are. Some cars have an access hole in the trunk under the matt. Look there first. If no access from trunk, drop the tank. There will be a spanner type sheet metal nut that holds it in. Be careful taking it out as the fuel gage sending unit is part of the pump. be sure to clean the outside area well so that it wont leak when you fill up.Dont forget the rubber gasket. I got one from autozone and its been working fine for 80000 miles.
Problem may be in the steering column turn signal not cancelling completely - try "jiggling" stalk and have assistant watch brake light
Locate the sensor on the exhaust system unplug it ,unscrew it and replace it in reverse. Pretty simple. Autozone will lend you a special socket needed to go around the wires if needed
Does the transmission affect your traction control?
while the actual shifting of gears isn't typically related to traction control, on most FWD vehicles, the differential is mounted in the casing of the transmission, and that component is a key factor in traction control.
AnswerThe Windstar traction control is much more integrated into the ABS (anti-lock braking system) - takes the same signal from the wheel sensors and applies the brakes to any wheels determined to be spinning faster than the others.Where are the oxygen sensors on a 2001 deVille Northstar?

What is a Oil Coolant Hose for a 1991 Cadillac Deville?
It is the hose that carries your oil to the radiator or away from it, to be cooled. Oil gets very hot, and must cool to maintain efficiency. These are the thinner metal hoses running to your radiator into the sides. If your looking at the car from the front, the oil hoses are on the right. The ones on the left are transmission fluid coolant hoses.
Which organ acts as the control center of the body?
The heart is the control center, the brain is the command center.

It is possible if it was putting too much exhaust back into the engine causing it to run lean. I'd check for any computer codes for the EGR valve. They should tell you what is wrong.

They estimated $2,000 at the dealership to do this repair.
