#2436 of 2506 SOMEONE HELP!! PLEASE** by binoc02 Jan 24, 2008 (10:51 am)
I HAVE A 92' CADILLAC DEVILLE, I LET MY CAR SIT WITH NO GAS FOR ABOUT A MONTH MY TAGS WERE OUT AND HAD NO FUNDS TO REPLACE THEM RIGHT AWAY. I WENT TO TURN MY CAR ON OF COURSE AFTER I PUT $40 OF GAS IN IT, AND IT STILL WOULDNT TURN OVER. SO I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, SPARK PLUGS & WIRES, STARTER, BATTERY AND I THINK THATS JUST ABOUT IT. THE SHIT STILL DOESNT START. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP? I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE A RELAY FUEL PUMP OR A POWERTRAIN MODULE? WHATEVER THAT IS!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK!      -SIGN CADILLAC GIRL Replies to this message: 04cad (Jan 24, 2008 11:01 am)

Replying to: binoc02 (Jan 24, 2008 10:51 am) I am not sure about your model, but some GM cars had a vent on the top of the engine that had to be depressed while the engine was cranked over if you ever ran it totally out of gas. This allowed air to escape the lines and fill with gas. You might check your owner's manual or do an online search for 1992 Cadillac engine gas priming to see if anything comes up. Running the newer vehicles completely out of gas is never a good idea as it will usually fry the fuel pump within a few months of doing so. Good luck!

#2439 of 2506 Remove Glovebox 2005 Deville by bolivar Jan 29, 2008 (10:52 pm)
Does anyone know EXACTLY how to do this?   Mainly - I think the dash trim piece, a U shaped piece around both sides and bottom has to be removed. I've got the 8 torx screws out of the glove box, and it still holds at the bottom.   Is this dash piece a push on/pull off piece? If so, it must take a lot of pulling, because I've pulled some and it doesn't budge. Do I just need to pry it off or pull with great force? Replies to this message: bolivar (Jan 30, 2008 11:30 pm)

Replying to: bolivar (Jan 29, 2008 10:52 pm) Never mind. I figgered it out.   The dash piece has to be pulled off. Actually put my dandelion digger in there aganist the clip and twisted to get it loose. Clips at tops, bottom, and across the bottom.

Replying to: 99deville1 (Feb 28, 2008 4:57 pm) You can replace the head gasket with out damaging the engine block. You have to buy new head bolts from the dealer. DO NOT RE-USE YOUR OLD HEAD BOLTS, THEY WILL NOT TORQUE UP AND HOLD TO THE SPECS.... This shop you took it to was just trying to stick it to you with out any lube. there has not been to my vast knowledge of mechanics and engines of any motor built or designed that can not be repaired or rebuilt, they all can you just have to buy certain dealer items, such as bolts. Don't forget to have the heads checked and milled or resurfaced, and you have to do both at the same time or you will confuse the computer, due to differences in compression between the two sides of the engines.

Replying to: toneyg (Feb 28, 2008 5:31 pm) Well, I think you have quite a bit wrong here.   If he truly has blown head gaskets on a Northstar, there is more to it than replacing the gaskets and using new head bolts.   He will have to have the motor pulled. This is the only way to make the following repair because you cannot reach the rear head to do this.   The heads have to be pulled. (If you do this, do both heads.) Just unscrewing the head bolts will many times damage more of the bolts, stripping the alumium threads. Then the motor has to be 'Timeserted'. This is a package which has a metal jig (which can be reused, shops that have done this before will already have this) which is bolted to the motor and all the bolt holes are drilled out. Then threads are re-tapped into the holes. Then a special Timesert insert is screwed in. Then the head can be put back on with a new gasket and new bolts, which screw into the new insert. The heads themselves usually are fine, they are almost bulletproof, there is no milling needed. Then the motor can be put back in.   This is usually around a $3,000 job. The main part is labor. Pulling the motor (and transmission together), drilling, tapping, assembly and then putting the motor back into the car. Parts are only something like $500-$750 or so, including a Timesert kit and the needed gaskets, etc.   When you are looking at a $6,000 car (1999 Deville), you really need to think about putting $3,000 into it. A lot of beautiful Cadillacs are scrapped because of the cost of a head job.
