Replying to: rlovin (Dec 06, 2006 12:16 pm) My '97 will not start after it has been running for awhile. After allowing it too sit for an hour or more it will start up easily. It never cuts off while driving. Has anyone found a solution for this? Could this also be the crank sensor?

Replying to: rlovin (Dec 06, 2006 12:16 pm) I just started to have the same problem. I have one mechanic who knows the car. He put the car on machine and said it was the crank sensor. I ordered part for $55.00 and do plan on getting rid of this car this year. I definitely will not buy american again.   Good-Luck Replies to this message: cateraepk (Feb 26, 2007 5:21 pm)

Does anybody know what the problem is with the tranny? Mine goes into limp mode when i drive it uphill at 40 to 50 mph. Turn the car off and it is fine, until the next hill that i try to take at these speeds. Replies to this message: cateraepk (Feb 26, 2007 5:16 pm) mach1456 (Feb 26, 2007 9:20 pm)

Replying to: mach1456 (Jan 20, 2007 6:46 pm) your car is going into safe mode to protect damage when it does not recieve the right electronic signal. Get a new tranny computer for about 1000 bucks or your tranny will go to shit and cost you 4000. Replies to this message: mach1456 (Feb 26, 2007 9:20 pm)

Replying to: cateraepk (Feb 26, 2007 5:16 pm) Is there a official name for this part? I can put it in if this is really the problem, I have heard everything from the torque converter to oil on connectors, the cat is mint but I need to be sure before I put 1000 into it.
#261 of 1216 No heat In a 98 catera by richter1 Feb 27, 2007 (12:42 pm)
Has any body else had problem With not being able to get your heater to work. I am up here in ohio & it's pretty damn cold not to have any heat coming from your car. I have read about people changing a heater valve. Could that be it. We took took it to the local caddy dealer, (talk about legalized theft) & the mechanic said it was the thermostat. but the car does not over heat & the temp gauge stays right in the middle. It blows out cold air like the a/c is on. Any thoughts?. Replies to this message: mach1456 (Feb 27, 2007 2:57 pm) weaves3 (Oct 17, 2007 5:24 am) mach1456 (Oct 18, 2007 8:19 pm)

Replying to: richter1 (Feb 27, 2007 12:42 pm) Had same kind of problem. The blend doors rods, for lack of a better term, had come loose. They are located under the dash along center console. They are black plastic and attached to a actuator motor. Locate these and try moving gently by hand if they move reconnect. If they are connected try adjusting the temp controller and watch them to see if they are moving. Next step if they are connected and not moving with temp adjustment you may try pulling the actuator motor and check the gear on it mine had worked its way out and was not engaging with the gear for the rods. I pressed mine back into place with a vise be gentle though. Worked on mine about 4 months ago and everything still works great. One last thing check your coolant may be low. That happened to me also and had no heat. Replies to this message: weaves3 (Oct 17, 2007 5:24 am) mach1456 (Oct 18, 2007 8:19 pm)
#263 of 1216 coolant mixing with the engine oil by emassard Mar 03, 2007 (9:52 am)
Please someone can help me w/ this:   "The car has a bad oil cooler, which is located below the lower intake manifold.. It is leaking oil externally, and it is also allowing coolant to mix in with the engine oil. The cost to replace the oil cooler will be approximately $900" Replies to this message: ipalatucci (Nov 29, 2007 4:05 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 01, 2007 9:39 am) oldskewl (Nov 12, 2008 4:18 pm)
