Cadillac Eldorado

1) Rotate drive belt tensioner mechanism upward, away from drive belt using a 1/2 inch breaker bar. 2) Remove serpentine drive belt. 3) Reverse procedure to install.

I have been trying to do that a while ago as someone told me there to just take the clips off with a flat head screwdriver

however, it didnt work but underneath the wheel there are small screws that u need to remove or something, i have a feeling the answer is there.

Basically what I know is that if you manage to remove that big wood cover, you will be able to remove the radio easily and I have a feeling that the big cover is attached to the pad under the wheel.

Hope i helped

there are about 5 screws, these have the wierd star heads on them so you need the right screw driver. All the way to the left on the wood cover you'll find one in the AC vent. Just turn it so you see the screw head or remove the moving vent (turn and pull out). Two more above the dash, bring steering wheel all the way down for easier access, same size on all screws. Pull cover above radio (all across the top of the radio). where you'll find one or two more.

pull wooden cover off and you'll see the radio exposed. Underneath the radio are two nuts that you'll have to loosen but not all the way off. pull radio out.

two large connectors on the back plus the antenna wire

goes back in reverse order....

Remove the air cleaner and the air supply from the top of the throttle body. Have someone step inside the vehicle and slowly press and release the throttle while the engine is off. Watch to see what moves. The throttle butterfly is operated by the cable from the accelerator pedal. Notice that the cable goes over a sprocket that moves the throttle. On the OPPOSITE side of the throttle body should be a black plastic thingy with wires connected. THAT's the throttle body.

The mood of "El Dorado" is actually quite simple to figure out. First of all, it feels really plain in a good way. That makes the mood

Thermostat stuck open or heater core clogged. Bad radiator cap or small hole in cooling system.

The weight of a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado is around 5200 pounds. Check the information tag on the drivers door which tells you the exact weight.

check vac fittings on controller located under dash on pass side sometimes they fall down or people kick them with there feet

Around 3900 lbs

The American record for the mile run is 3:46.91 held by Alan Webb set in July, 2007.

I have no idea about this specific car, but the alternator in general is an electrical generator which is driven off the engine's crankshaft. It will normally be at one end of the engine and driven by a belt - it is easily identified as it is about the size of a pineapple and is surrounded by coils of wire.

7 quarts

It should range from 195 to 230 and any thing above that is to high!

The choke on the carberator is stuck open so it allows too much air for the amount of fuel needed to start the car. If you look in the top of the carb, there is a flap that is probably stuck straight up and down. In cold weather, that flap is supposed to be sideways and closing off the opening of the carb.

Expanding on the above answer, while warming up, this choke flap is controlled by an electrically heated coil (automatic choke), this sits on the side of carb and is about 2" in circumference. It has two screws holding the face of the thing in position. When loosened, the face can be rotated to adjust the coil inside/level of choke, there are marks to show the normal position as a reference.

This will get the engine started in the cold, but is probably compensating for some other problem, and may make engine run rich once warm.

No, they are 2 totally different bodystyles

Easiest way to fix the problem is to flush your heater core with distilled water. If this does not work you will have to take it in to have the actuator door on the driver side replaced which will cost you around $150. More times than not it is fixed by the flushing.

Pass side are for Tranny Coller lines Driver Side are for oil cooler lines

you are LOW on freon

IF IT WON'T LATCH WHEN YOU CLOSE IT, THE PROBLEM IS THE SWITCH THAT IS MOUNTED ON THE MOTOR. THE SWITCH HAS A FLAT PLASTIC ACCUATOR.PRESS DOWN ON IT TO HEAR IF IT CLICKS. YOU CAN GET ONE AT A BUICK DEALER CHEAPER THEN CADILLAC,ABOUT $19.00. REGARDS PAUL G

How about a malfunctioning brake light switch

its computered

the eldorado has an automaatics parking break. as soon as you put the transmission in gear the parking break releases.

To remove disconnect the negative battery cable, remove the cover from the headlamps and radiator shroud.

Disconnect the left engine torque strut from the radiator support then disconnect the upper trans oil cooler line from the transmission cooler.Next remove the right and left cooling fan. After that is done remove the serpentine belt from the alternator. Next remove the bolt from the front top of the alt. and the bolt from the locovered in this guider front of the alt. And detach the harness connector and putput cable from the alt.

Just so you know the bolt nearest the exhaust manifold can't be removed from the bracket but can be backed out to allow it to be taken out.

You'll have to remove the a/c splash shield from the cradle and the access panel from the bottom side of the radiator and disconnect the engine harness from its cradle. You can move the alt away from the engine and pull it out from the bottom side of the engine

if you need help putting it back in then post and if i see it I'll help
