#997 of 1218 Re: dashboard lights going crazy! [caddy_olds] by calicago Mar 14, 2009 (1:41 pm)
Replying to: caddy_olds (Mar 14, 2009 10:10 am) IN regards to your radiator light coming on more than likely it is the resivor sensor thats bad. As far as your temp gauge it's real tuff to get to but if you have the time it the temp sensor should be located on the left side of the engine heads at the rear check for disconnection and broken wires thats pretty much all I can tell you for now good luck and to all you guys that drive civics ...........YOU GO GIRL Replies to this message: caddy_olds (Mar 17, 2009 2:58 pm)

Replying to: caddy_olds (Mar 14, 2009 10:10 am) That is what I think is wrong too and the brake light your are talking about, is it the circle with lines on both sides. If it is, that just tells you your brake pads need replaceing and if your brake pads are good then you must have a bad wire or sensor. Since they come on then go off, it must be a wire or sensor.

#1003 of 1218 Re: 2001: Speedometer keeps going out [blondebrat1912] by jasonshug1 Mar 19, 2009 (9:04 am)
Replying to: blondebrat1912 (Sep 12, 2008 7:48 am) This is what my 2000 Catera is doing, and i've talked to alot of Cadillac specialists and they say it's the Transmission Control Module. Reason being, is because my transmission won't kick in to a higher gear while these lights are one... It shifts just fine, but for instance if you floor it, it won't kick up, it strips... Mechanic and Cadilla dealer say because of that, it's the TCM...   Anyone else experiencing the tranny shift problem while these lights are on?   Jason

Replying to: jak6 (Mar 16, 2009 2:13 pm) jak6 there is no cap, there is a coil behind the engine on drivers side. you do not have to pull the top of the motor. on the drivers side there is case that holds vacum lines & wires unbolt that & you can get to the spark plugs on that side. pull your wires & start removeing plugs. you need to know the fireing order on motor & coil. Sence i have a 98 catera i know it. on the motor driver side starting from the front is 2,4,6 passenger side is 1,3,5. Now on the coil starting the front row from drivers side to passenger side is 4,6,2 the back row is 1,3,5. What cylinder is not fireing i just had the same prob with mine & it was cylinders 2,& 6. If you have any other ? I can help.
#1005 of 1218 coil and distributor location by franco55 Mar 22, 2009 (10:42 am)
Can anybody tell me the location of the coil and distributor in my 1997 catera? Replies to this message: sskl (Mar 22, 2009 3:11 pm)

Replying to: franco55 (Mar 22, 2009 10:42 am) Coil is buried between firewall and center of back of engine. Distribution of firing plugs sequence is computer controlled, no distributor like older model cars.. Dave
