What does it say on the dash? If it says "Premium Gas Recommended" or "Premium Gas Required", try running a mid-grade for a while. The Northstar has a pretty sophisticated anti-knock program, so if you get no ill-effects from running 87 octane, you'll be fine. I used 87 in my 99 Deville for about 100,000 miles and had no problems whatsoever.

The starter on the northstar engines are located in the "V" of the block under the fuel injection ports. This starter can be removed by blocking the fuel injection up about three and one half inched above the motor allowing you to remove the battery cable and the two bolts from the starter.Hint: before attempting to remove the starter, make sure the battery cable is clean and making good contact. The starter cable is stacked on top of another cable.
All of the lights on the dashboard are out on a 1987 eldorado Cadillac how can it be repaired?
Check the fuse for your tail lights, usually when all of your lights in your instrument cluster are out, it usually meas that either your tail light fuse, or possibly both tail lights are burned out. this is a "safety" feature built into most cars to alert you that there is a problem with your tail lights.
A clunk in any gear does not sound good. The only way to really find out the status of the tranny is to have it diagnosed by a reputable certified tech. I just had my tranny rebuilt at a cost of $1800. That by the way is a very good price in today's dollars. the key word here being rebuilt! Your cost may be considerably less if only a part needs replacing. This is the way it worked for me. I called the local community college auto dept. and received an excellent referral for an honest down to earth certified tech. There is a cost for removal of the tranny ($300 for me) followed by the diagnosis and repair cost which includes the removal cost of the tranny. A franchise repair facility was asking $850 for the removal, needless to say, I chose the $300 repair facility. My advice is not to wait until the problem escalates, because the repair cost will too. Be advised, once the tranny is off, have it repaired because the franchise facility stated if they did not do the repairs, there would be an additional charge for the reinstallation. Shop around for the best price you can find. The tranny is one part that will not allow you to ignore it. And the longer you wait to have it repaired, the more you will pay.
Lots of luck!
