#12 of 73 Re: Hello & Welcome! [KarenS] by cat2ksi Jul 19, 2005 (5:03 pm)
Replying to: KarenS (Sep 06, 2001 7:44 am) Hello,   My name is Fong and have 2000 catera for 2 years now. Lately, I am having a problem with the charging system...not exactly sure what the deal is...that's why I am here. Anyway, the voltage gauge sits about the middle at cold startup. When it is hot, the gauge goes down. With the AC on, it gets worst. I measured the voltage on the battery during these conditions and the gauge is accurate. I saw some similar posting here and it appears to be a problem with the "crank shaft position senor" and not the alternator??? Would appreciate and help. Thanks.

Replying to: jestermi (Jun 27, 2005 5:04 pm) any information on where I can find these cheap crank sensors would be an absolute blessing. Also, if anyone else has a website address for affordable Catera parts it would be appreciated. thanks Replies to this message: rustyisin (Sep 13, 2005 5:15 pm) stephaniecmm (Mar 16, 2008 2:06 pm)

#15 of 73 bad car by emilyb Oct 05, 2005 (3:23 pm)
I had a 2000 catera athat stalled out all the time, got rid of it right away and got a 1998 catera. ive had the car for 6 months now and it sslowly starting to act up. Tons of electrical problems, lights turning on out of nowhere, lights not working, dash lights fading out and coming back. Most recently brake lights went out for a while and they just started working again. Now the transmissions starting to act up. All I can say is Ive had nothing but problems with these cars and have heard nothing good about them. And they quit making cateras why????
#16 of 73 Intermittent starting problem-98 Catera by cmantell Nov 07, 2005 (1:49 pm)
I have a 98 Catera with very low mileage..about 13000..had it since early '99.   Sometimes when starting, all you get is a light click, guess solenoid. Try it a couple of times, some times it starts right away,sometimes after waiting 15-20 minutes. Dealer says they can't tell anything until it is consistent. Has anyone had this problem or ideas as to cause.

Replying to: htexbb (Dec 04, 2003 9:50 am) The same thing happened to me with my 1998 Catera; intermittent starting. The problem was that the Cadillac dealership (St. Claire) here in San Jose, didn't have the part (crankshaft position sensor) and it took 2 full months to get it from Germany! Cadillac does not support this vehicle, period.
#18 of 73 98 Cadillac Catera by cutman Mar 13, 2006 (6:02 pm)
I have only 12,100 miles on my Catera and had to replace the right front wheel bearing assembly. Not good. Auto Mechanic told me wheel bearings are like belts, they just wear out any time. Hope the left front last longer?   Cut man

Replying to: htexbb (Dec 04, 2003 9:50 am) Hi, I had a problem with my 2001 Catera. It would just shut off while I was sitting still at a red light or something. It would shut off while I was driving it. Sometimes it would crank right up other times it would take a while. I took it to the dealership and they say the crank sensor needed to be replaced. I was under $300 to fix it.
