Fuel Pump Access for 1998 Cadillac Deville by realneil

Can anyone help me locate the fuel pump access for my 1998 Deville. According to my local garage they have replaced the fuel pump twice, yet I still have a problem. At first, the problem was intermittent, but has now become chronic. There is no fuel getting to the injectors.

Fuel pump is inside the gas tank. I think it was about 2000 or so model year when they put an access plate under the spare tire so the pump could be accessed from above. I think yours will have to have the gas tank dropped out to access the pump.
 
Cadillacs have been know to overheat the wiring to the pump when the pump is failing. If you have to go into this again, make sure the wiring to the pump is checked also. If it is melted, etc, it will need repair.
 
Also, the filter might be clogged. It is on the frame, under the left passenger door area.

I have a 96' Deville, I had experienced some problems with rough shifting, but not bad at all so I had the car serviced they put a new transmission kit on changed the fluid. When I leave the shop my light is still on and my car will not shift into overdrive. Any ideals?

Something to remember on vehicles with the gas pump in the tank also....... you don't ever want to let the gas tank run empty. The pump gets it's lubrication from the gas and if it runs empty you will almost certainly ruin the pump. It may take a few months to quit completely, but it is pretty certain that it will go bad after being run without enough gas. Good Luck!

My last log was about the trans sensors. Well I got that fixed. But millage is still off. But my main Q tonight is The service light has come back on says Service Emission system??Filters are fine. I have codes P0325 KNOCK SENSOR 1 (BANK1.
P0401- EGR Flow Insufficient detected
P1406- Unknown
 We had the knock sensor replaced a bout 2 years ago so I don't look for that to be the prob..... unless that is a re-accuring thing with these cars....Plus now in climate control will not function on AUTO only ECON. .....anddddddddddd sometimes it just shuts off for a few minutes and comes back on(the heat or air).
 So with all this what my next best move?? Rebecca....

You said "they put a new transmission kit on changed the fluid".
 
I am guessing they just pulled the pan, which takes 'some' of the tranny fluid out, and put a new gasket on it and buckled it back up. And this didn't do anything to help your problem.
 
You've probably got a shift solonid problem. There are three of these. Two of them can be replaced rather easily. The transmission does have to be opened up, but they can be accessed from the bottomof the car. The third one is buried deep within the tranny, and the motor and tranny must be pulled to get to it. This one usually sets a 0741 error code.
 
You need to have the error codes pulled, and someone interpret them correctly. If it is a code for the 'A' or 'B' shift solonids, you are lucky. If a 741, it is going to cost a lot because of the labor to pull the tranny.
  
Unfortunately, not shifting into overdrive sounds more like the 'expensive' one.

Regarding only the AC not going to Auto. This many times means the AC system has lost freon pressure. The pressure and/or temperature sensors in the AC system will NOT allow the system to switch on when it has leaked freon out. When the system is in ECON mode, the AC does not run. So, with no freon, the computer automatically shifts it into ECON mode.
 
Find the leak, fix it, recharge the system.

Having a few problems with my caddy. Rough idle, surging at 30 to35 mph then smooths out. Have been told that it might be the electronic throttle positioner. This vehicle only has 96,000 miles on it an is in show room condition. I've changed the plugs,wires,cap,rotor. Also the catyletic convertor changed out,all the filters,except the fuel filter. only run premium fuel in it. It has The 4.9 V-8 engine in it. Some please help me in this matter. I'm stumped and almost ready to take it and have a diagnostic ran. There is no service engine light on or anything telling me if anything is wrong. Can it be the E CM has gone faulty?
