#77 of 124 2001 catera sport auto emissions stystem P0040 by tpharrington52

My wife has a 2001 catera 56,000 miles sounds good right? We bought it from a dealer in 2005 it had 25,000 miles at the time. She only puts 5,500 miles on the car per year. She loves how the car drives and the body and interior are in fantastic condtion. However I have had it in the shop at least a dozen times for all kinds of repairs. My most recent problem is I had this code come on up the computer for evaporative auto emission problem(check engine light) code P0440. The repair shop said I needed a new gas cap. NOW I can't fill my tank up without fuel backing up at the gas station when my tank is only 1/4 full. Also when I pump the gas I have to do it at 1/4 the normal speed otherwise I get gas all over the place backing to the gas pump. The car runs fine has anyone else had a similiar problem to this? Let me Know Thanks Thomas#78 of 124 Re: Black on Black [dhvyl] by lou89

Am very curious as to your history with the new found beauty. I have a '98, bought new for my wife. After being stranded several when it would not restart, she now drives my Lexus and I do not blame her : I do not let her. Dealers do not want to deal with this car's problems. Five dealers, on trips and home do not know how to remedy its undependability. I still have this '98 model and it now has 33, 000 miles. Had it State inspected last weel and I heard the Tech call another to come smell thiss '98 , it smell like a new car inside ; always garaged. I would not buy another Caddi--maybe not a GM---another Cimmaron.

Hi Catera gang! I purchased this car it's actually a "Sport". I love it! It's in excellent condition drives beautifully looks beautiful silver color with black trimming, stone leather seats, multi cd changer in trunk and single cd player in auto....THIS CAR HAS IT ALL TOO MUCH TO MENTION!!! I always get compliments and people do look. I had since Dec. 2009 with no problems. Maybe all quirks got worked out b4 I got it, all I have to do is enjoy it. I bought it from a trusted auto rebuilder who runs a respectable business. I feel SO blessed! Praise God! Thank you Jesus!

After my 1997 catera runs for awhile, it shuts down When I come to a stop. There is no engine light and it starts when I turn it back on. Without a code My mechanic is having a hard time finding the problem. Is there anyone else with this problem and what is the solution?#83 of 124 i had a similar problem I had to replace a sendor and get a new key by sadsexycaddy
