Replying to: bolivar (Aug 24, 2007 12:43 pm) It's in warranty, thank God, but is it going to drive like a Cadillac after this or will it just feel "off"? Replies to this message: bolivar (Aug 24, 2007 7:36 pm)

Replying to: xeperx (Aug 24, 2007 2:26 pm) From what I understand, a Timezerted motor has a very small change of having head gasket problems again.   Now, as to how well a mechanic can do this job and re-assemble properly?????????

Replying to: sls002 (Aug 23, 2007 5:37 am) Well actually the oil light is not on, but the information center is telling me 87% and yes I do know how to change it to something else but turning the car on, that's what shows.....on top of this, now a light says "service engine" but the information center does not give me a reason that I would need service...damn, my old car I knew waht to do - thisd modern marvel, I have no idea.

Replying to: ladymylady (Aug 27, 2007 8:15 pm) If the service engine light is on, there is a problem. While is may not be critical, the sooner you have it checked the better.
#2384 of 2506 96 cadillac deville w/ northstar over heated by cdalee Sep 05, 2007 (5:30 am)
MY caddy over heated. i notice it said check coolant level but i had just put antifreeze in it about a week ago i checked it everything looked fine i drove for about 15 minutes and the temperture would not go down pass 215 eventually it began to go up quickly, then the temp reached 257 and idle engine, engine hot, coolant hot started flashing on my screen as soon as i made it to my house it started smoking when i looked under the hood i see that antifreeze had leaked but i dont know where it came from. i dont think it can be the thermostat because that was replaced about 4 months ago. does anyone know what may be wrong?

Replying to: cdalee (Sep 05, 2007 5:30 am) A reasonable guess is that you have a coolant leak. It may just be the water pump...

Replying to: cdalee (Sep 05, 2007 5:30 am) Be careful and have it checked as soon as you can. This is EXACTLY what mine did and now I have a blown head gasket.
#2387 of 2506 2002 Deville-trouble starting by bep Sep 13, 2007 (2:59 pm)
This is an 8 cylinder (not Northstar)with 42,000 miles. Since June it has not always been starting on the first try. After jiggling the gear shift, it would start up. Yesterday it would never start. It was towed to the dealer. Once it got there it started right up and again this morning. No faults found on the computer. They are trying other diagnostics. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks. Replies to this message: bolivar (Sep 13, 2007 8:34 pm)
#2388 of 2506 BEP - deville starting problem by ladymylady Sep 13, 2007 (6:37 pm)
You dont say what year the deville is....but on my old 93 deville I had that problem...and it turned out to be the alternator. Could that be it..? sometimes it would work and sometimes not...until one day it just gave up the ghost totally.

Replying to: bep (Sep 13, 2007 2:59 pm) If you have a 2002 Deville, you DO have a Northstar motor.   Not much idea about starting problem, it could be several things.   There is a 'neutral safety switch' located somewhere on the shift mechanism (jiggling the shift) that will only allow the vehicle to start in park or neutral. There is also a brake safety switch that will only allow it to start when your foot is on the brake.   If either of these is failing, it could fail to start.   A weak battery might not start, but after being juggled around recover enough to start.   A positive or negative cable that has corrision might come and go.   Intermittent failure in the ignition switch.   Lots of things. When it comes and goes (unless it's a weak battery - this could be tested), it's tough to find electrical problems, when it is 'gone'.
