#1053 of 1218 Rear tie rod ends by britn May 05, 2009 (12:28 pm)
Does anyone know of any place that sells after market tie rod ends for this car for the rear? I'd tried and tried and can't find anyone selling them, and I'd hate to pay the dealership, or give one more penny to Cadillac or GM for this pile of sh*t car! Oh, it's a 2K sport, if it matters.

Replying to: renjie (May 07, 2009 6:19 pm) More then likely your rear shocks are leaking air, although it could be a line or the compressor it self. Monroe makes a kit which includes both shocks, airlines and fittings for our Catera's for under 100 $ (dealer wants over 400$)   If it is the compressor, Pontiac GTO 2004 till 2006 rear shocks will work on our cadis if you Google "98 catera rear shocks" you will find a lot of information on them

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 19, 2009 7:36 am) Thanks Mr. Shiftright   It was the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Instead of paying over 500$ for the part and another 100$ plus for him to install it and reset the codes, I purchased a  re manufactured MAFS from Checkers for 275$ and replaced it myself then disconnected battery to reset codes. My Cat now runs better then it ever has sense I have owned her plus getting better gas mileage then ever 20 in city best ever before was 18 Thanks again

#1060 of 1218 anti theft reset by catera44 May 20, 2009 (2:46 pm)
I recently bought a 97 catera drove around the block running fine. i dont have the remote for the keyless entry so i locked the doors using the button on the interior door. i then proceeded to open the door using my key and set of the alarm. i had no idea how to turn it off so i disconnected the battery. now when i try to start the car it turns over but shuts off right away and the security light flashes on the dash. does anyone know how to reset the anti theft?

Replying to: catera44 (May 20, 2009 2:46 pm) I always thought that whenever the alarm is activated, you could deactivate it automatically by using the key to unlock the driver's door.. Since it sounds like that is what you did, there must be some other problem with your security system so I guess I can't be of much help.. However, I would think that disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it after awhile would reset the alarm. You can get a new keyless remote for very little money on ebay. Just be sure to get the correct remote and also the seller will usually furnish instructions to program the remote for no extra charge. Good luck.
