Cadillac DeVille

I'm sure this post was made long ago and you have already found an answer. So i'm going to answer for others who may have the same issue. I have a 99 cadillac deville and went through this problem for 5 months. Sometimes it would start after 3 minutes, and other times I was stranded for up to 6 hours of waiting and trying to start, again and again. There are numerous posts about the passkey 3 system etc etc. I found out all I needed was a new igniton switch which yes includes having a new key cut (cost me $160 total for the entire job). Had that done 16 months ago and not one time have I had this issue again. The way it was explained to me is when you adjust your steering wheel over and over, it can ultimately smash and eventually cut into the ignition wire. This ultimately will lead to the secuity message where the car thinks someone is trying to steal your car. I saw the old igniton wires and yes they were diffinetly smashed in some places and cut in 2 areas. Anyways this is something you may want to look into before reading all of the technical crap and the $$$$$ that goes with it.

A 2001 cadillac deville requires 7.5qts of 5W-30 oil. When doing an oil change you should also reset the engine oil life in your vehicles computer. To do this simply go through the on dash option and find engine oil life then hold the reset button until it reads " 100% ENGINE OIL LIFE. "

You have to elevate the shocks on the car!

The manufacturer doesn't "necessarily" recommend flushing this system. They go on to state that since it is very unlikely to that a flush would completely clean the condenser, it should be changed along with the compressor, accumulator and orifice tube; in the event of a compressor failure. (When compressors fail they tend to send debris throughout the AC system, it can and will get caught in the small orifices of the condenser evaporator, accumulator and orifice tube) However, while you have the AC lines, orifice tube (removed), accumulator and evaporator disconnected; use compressed air (from a shop compressor) to blow out each line as well as the evaporator and condenser.

dont know where a diagram of is,but if looking at the front of the car on the right side of the motor in the front you will see a bracket thats covering a belt that is the water pump belt and pulleythat is connected to the water pump housing,to get to the water pump,you have to remove that bracket and once that is removed you will see a metel cover on the there is 4 bolts that hold the water pump on they have to come out,you will have to remove the air filter and disconnect all the water hoses goning into the water pump cover,once all is removed and the 4 bolts are removed you will need a tool to remove the water pump.autozone rents that tool for abt 30.00.hope that helps..there's not alot of room be its not that hard.the hard part is getting the new one in with out messing up the gasket ring that came with the new water pump,they dont sell that at autozone..just got mine replaced.

If you're doing it yourself, you are brave. The average shop can remove one in about an hour. That's with a lift and jack system. Rebuilding it is another story and can range from 2-4 hours depending how experienced you are.

I usually pull off one end of the lower hose if the radiator petcock is hard to get at or stuck; it is usually easier and it is much faster in most cases.

PROBABLY INSIDE OF GAS TANK. Definately inside the tank, all Caddy's since 1985 or so, e.g.anything with a throttle body or multi-port injection system. Before you drop the tank and replace the pump, a BIG job, make sure the fuel pump relay is not at fault. They are in different locations on various models so research that. JHSills

There isn't a flasher box. What you want is the flasher which is located near the fuse box, or is clipped on to the underneath edge of the dash near the steering column.

Can be numerous reason, but first I raire the carpeting and undermatting. If the undermatting is wet, DISCARD, it will never dry. Not quite sure of your vehicles layout i.e. sunroof, etc. Look for a water leak ( water leak test ) from the front windshield , draining down to the floor board and carpet. Another spot could be an open rubber grommet in the firewall. If you do have a sunroof, is it a factory installed unit or aftermarket. Different type of installations. A leaking sunroof can drain water all the way down the windshield pillar to the floor carpets. Only way to really find the problem is 1 person in the car, and 1 person spraying water.

I don't exactly know in degrees; perhaps someone else will, but usually your temperature gage is a good guide. Even if you are not running in the red zone, you should not really be close to the red zone. If you are running close to the red zone, you are not particularly safe just because you are not actually IN the red zone.

Also, you should not be running too cool. This wastes gas and makes the engine less efficient. It also probably means someone took out the thermostat because the engine WAS running very hot with one in. Typically, I have found that if the needle is somewhere in the middle of the gage, it's a good place to be. Now, if you have a Jaguar, that does not hold true; a Jag really has to run within a degree or two of optimum, so you might want to search the web for a Deville owner's forum.

It Begins as a series of buttons that need to be pressed and held at the same time. On the Climate Control cluster press and hold the warm button and the off button at the same time. After a few seconds Your check engine light and the light right below it will turn on (they will go off after you are done messing with everything). Then using the "lo" and Hi" buttons you can scroll through the codes that will appear on the fuel management cluster on the left side of the steering wheel. have fun and dont do it while your driving.

Running a 2003 Cadillac DeVille without a catalytic converter may cause the engine to perform poorly due to the lack of back pressure and altered exhaust flow. It could trigger the check engine light due to failing emissions tests and may lead to increased emissions, making the vehicle illegal to drive in many areas. Additionally, removing the catalytic converter can lead to potential damage to other components of the exhaust system and may affect fuel efficiency. Overall, while the car may run, it is not advisable to operate it without the catalytic converter.

For a 1995 Cadillac DeVille, it's recommended to use 5W-30 motor oil. This viscosity provides good protection and performance across a range of temperatures. Always ensure the oil meets the API (American Petroleum Institute) specifications for that model year. Checking the owner's manual for any specific recommendations is also advisable.

Replacing a water pump in a 1993 Cadillac DeVille typically costs between $300 and $700, including parts and labor. The price can vary based on the mechanic's rates, the cost of parts, and whether any additional repairs are needed.

To install a throttle positioning valve on a 1997 Cadillac, first disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove any components obstructing access to the throttle body. Remove the old throttle positioning valve by disconnecting the wiring harness and unscrewing it from the throttle body. Install the new valve by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to check for proper operation.
