#7 of 436 1996 STS, the engine seems to stop and start at by nickc Nov 08, 2004 (9:05 am)
I am puzzled by the occasional 'mysteries that happen with this car. On long trips, say 200 miles or more when the car is well warmed up, Cruise control can be off or on, RPM is at about 2675 to 2750, the engine very quickly seems to shut down and restart. So it really like a surge except the RPM's do not go up they go down about 1500 RPM and them the car is back to humming along. It might do this three times in a row over a minute or once every three minutes. Any thoughts? I've noticed at this point if I stop on the side of the road the RPM's will read anywhere from 1500 to 2200 and will only go back to 750 or so if I shut the car down wait a few minutes and then it will be normal for awhile. Thanks for any insight!
#11 of 436 '04 Seats and Mileage by jgmilberg Feb 09, 2005 (1:08 am)
The motor will improve mileage after 6000-8000 miles. The car should have synthetic oil in it from the factory if you change it to regular oil it should seat faster that the 8000 miles, but after that I would go back to synthetic. The reason for this is that about 2 years ago they had an problem with the engines using too much oil and they ended up with a new piston and ring combo that takes a little while to seat into the cylinders. The seats are different that the ones in your '01 base Deville. The '04 model has heated and cooled seats, and the way they are designed the cooling fans built into the seat make it a little firmer at first, but they do "break in" so to speak.

Replying to: monkeyman3 (Nov 26, 2003 8:34 pm) the electronic relay is out this is a expensive part however you can manually reles the parking break by pulling a little lever located right next to were the foot lever connects to the floor on the right its about 2 inches long pull this forward twards yourself and it will release.
