Where do you put water in a 1994 Cadillac Seville SLS?

Water should be put in the radiator ( distilled only ) with the proper ratio of coolant. I believe that cadillac uses a special coolant so find this out. It takes a great deal of time to properly fill your system because you have to do it slowly to make sure there is no air in the system. Cadillac and thousands of cars just like it operate just fine without the use of distilled water. (The only reason some prefer distilled water is to help with the longevity of the calcium build up inside the radiator.) If you are flushing your radiator out every year or every other year, your car will love you just as much using straight water from your hose or kitchen sink.

To properly add water to your radiator:

1) Locate the radiator itself at the front of your vehicle's engine compartment. It's the big black thing with a cap. It often sits just behind the cars front decorative grill.

2) Check to see if the temperature of the car is cold or hot. If cold, simply open the cap. It won't burn you or gush water out on you. If the car is hot or has recently been running, simply wait until it's cooler in temperature (OR) get a thick towel, fold it into a few squares so it's pretty thick and simply open the cap. Use the towel so you don't get hot water splashed on you. It won't explode like a bomb. It may hiss a bit and spit hot water. Just use your head and be safe.

3) Once the cap is off, go start your car and leave it in Park with the emergency brake on for safety. Now, pour water in your radiator. I like using a clean gallon milk jug. It's ok if you spill some, your car won't die and you won't get shocked. However, be careful not to wear loose clothing or have your hair hanging down in your face. It can get caught in the spinning fan and pull you into the engine compartment. Simply stay back. If you want to add some anti-freeze, do so. Read the instructions on the bottle to see how much is enough.

NOTE: If you spill even the slightest amount of anti-freeze, CLEAN IT UP! Animals smell the sweet scent and it tastes sweet and they drink it. They will often die within minutes or hours after consuming it. Use a bowl or shop towel to catch drippings.

Is the northstar engine reliable?

The engine itself is VERY reliable. The problem is usually electronics in the car. I have had my 98 Deville for years and never had any engine problems. I have had to replace the water pump, thermostat, and power steering pump. Hope that helps...

How often should auto air conditioner cycle on and off?

Hard to give an answer with no info. What vehicle? year, make, model? What position is the heater control in when a/c cycling occurs? Usually, if you are using your defrost cycle, the air conditioner runs in order to dry the air. In some newer cars, the a/c will run in most settings of the heater control to dry the air and make heating/cooling of the interior more efficient. Hope this helps.

If all the gauges in the clustor are working and only the speedometer is not, I suspect the Vehicle Speed Sensor which is located in the transaxle. Easy to replace and only about $15.

How do you disable the anti-theft system on a 1994 olds 88 The car starts goes through 6 cylinders then quits you was told to check the anti theft no idea where it is to locate it?

Check for a broken wire at the key cylinder or on the steering column. Disconnect the battery first before breaking down the column, especially if your vehicle is equipped with an SRS airbag......

Also, with the 88 Olds being equipped with the Passkey System, see if the pellet on the key is worn or damaged. If you have a multimeter, you can Ohm the key against the vehicles VATS module, which is required and is an integral part of the anti-theft. They've gotta be within a 100 Ohms of each other... if the key is damaged, it could give issues like this, as well if the Ohmage is off, the car will have issues cranking, let alone cranking then stalling.
