I have a 98 Cadillac Catera. At first it would crank but does not start/fire. I change the ignition coil, the stark plugs, the crank sensor, and the ECU. After giving up I took a look at the ignition switch. If I hold the ignition switch the car will start and then die.. I bought a new ignition switch but don't know where to start.. Please help... |

I have a 2001 Catera and it has been sitting waiting for new engine to be installed. Well now I have the engine and time the keys have been lost. Yeah stupid I know, but what am I going to have to do to get a new ignition key made for it... I heard it can be a real pain.....

Hi everyone, I'm new to this and I need some help. I have a 2000 Catera and I need to buy the Intake Planum Switch Over Valve. I called the dealer but they told me they never heard of that part. I got the name from the sticker inside the hood. Is there a different name for it? Thank you |

Replying to: sskl (Jun 01, 2009 5:58 am) I solved the TC light issue; the ABS Module was bad. The rough idle I can't get. There are posts as you mention but I can't find anyhting as specific as my problem. Anything close doesn't carry a solution. |

Replying to: camm_2 (Jun 09, 2009 5:22 pm) The dealer (in Canada) wants $200 for the key (comes with a remote) and $130 to program it. A friend of mine who is a locksmith has the unit to program the key, however, it wouldn't work on this car because you need a dealer pin code to access the program. Dealer doesn't know his pin code because it's been embedded in his programmer and just starts up without asking for the code. What we did was bought 4 aftermarket keys from Ilco for $17ea. (no caddy emblem), took the serial number and cut the key to the data from the serial number. 3 keys were cut and one was left uncut. Towed the car to the dealer and programmed 1 key ($130). We then drove the car home, placed the programmed key in a key reader/programmer (not the unit I mentiond above) which copied the info on the dealer programmed key and copied the other 3 keys. Then I bought a fancy Bulldog remote starter system for the car and used the one uncut key as the resident key for the remote starter. The remote starter uses this key (the metal part is cut off and just the bow is used with the chip in it) to allow the car to start by remote. You still need a programmed key to drive the car because when you insert your key after remotley starting the car, the key in the ignition takes over and the resident key (bow only key) is disabled. Yes it's a pain, but, $660 for 2 keys andf 2 remotes is insane. I paid $70 for 4 keys cut, $130 to program 1 key (dealer), $119 for Bulldog fancy remote starter system and another $29 for spare remote (unit only came with 1 fancy LCD remote); about $325 total. I have 1 key in my household safe, my wife and I have one key each, and the fourth is embedded in the starter system. |
