#11 of 41 1998 Cadillac Deville by jstreff Jun 14, 2008 (3:18 am)
I have a 1998 Cadillac Deville and for the last two months it has been stalling at stop signs whenever it is raining. Garage says its wiring but to hard to track. Any Ideas? Replies to this message: bolivar (Jun 17, 2008 2:38 am)

Replying to: jstreff (Jun 14, 2008 3:18 am) Crank Position Sensors. There are two of them, replace them both. If it truly is water related, the connectors for the sensors might have a problem.
#13 of 41 98 Deville stalling by 98slab Oct 15, 2008 (4:29 pm)
Once the car is started, there is no problem with that. As I'm driving the car, every once in a while it would just stall out. I'll pull off the road and restart it with no problem. It wont really happen again until the next time I drive it. There is no check engine light or anything. I tried to get a diagnostics but couldn't because the check engine light wasn't on. Other than that, everything works as it should. Can anyone help me with this?

Replying to: bolivar (Oct 15, 2008 8:29 pm) I didn't, but thank you for the advice. I'll look into the price. I'm not a mechanic so do you think it will be better to have dealer do the work or buy the parts and take to my mechanic?

Replying to: 98slab (Nov 06, 2008 7:54 pm) I'm a cheep SOB, but that is something I've never had the guts to do - buy parts and ask a shop to put them on. You are basically asking him to reduce the price on the job by about 10% or more, which is his discount on the part when he buys it and charges you retail.

Replying to: bolivar (Nov 07, 2008 1:16 am) well i have changed the Crank Position Sensors. Not to mention a bunch of other things and my car still keeps stalling out. One minute its fine the next it doesnt feel like staying on. It seems like the fuel is not getting to the car. I've taken it to Cadillac but they can't find anything b/c the check engine light is not on. What else could it be ?

I've had a 97 Deville now for 4 years. When I first got it (had 50,000 miles on it), it stalled when I was decelerating.....say from 40 MPH down to 20 or 10 MPH....I replaced the crank shaft position sensors, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, etc. Turned out to be the EGR valve....(it was just not functioning properly and choking off the engine). I have had no decelerating stall outs since then (going on 3 years and I'm up to 100,000 Miles).....but like most 10 year old Devilles new problems have emerged over the last couple of months (it's been a relatively quiet 3 years of driving though since so I can't totally complain).

#19 of 41 97 Deville Stalling Only when Stopped (at Idle in Drive) by transocean1 Dec 14, 2008 (7:18 am)
Replying to: transocean1 (Dec 14, 2008 7:03 am) So my current issue with my 97 Deville which only occurs when it is raining (okay so I'm instantly thinking electrical system). The vehicle stalls out when I am stopped at a light...will restart right back up....and once in a while if I'm going really slow making a turn say under 5 MPH it will stall.....it definitely has to be raining outside and it has to be in drive (if I put it in park at the light it will not stall). I saw the post about checking the battery cable, grounds, and connections (all great ideas and I'm currently doing this....I think it might be the alternator connection). Was wondering if the 98 Deville that had a similar problem found anything. I have had a weird occurence which may be related (about 3 times now when I've started the car the gas cover solenoid has activated....almost like the car has lost power and the computer gets a quick surge...I believe I can replicate this by removing power from the battery and quickly reconnecting (again would point to the power / ground cables) With this the radio goes to a channel I haven't programed, but the other items don't reset (trip odometer, gas mileage etc.) The vehicle truly is in great shape and this is not a huge issue, but would be good to correct. Any thoughts or similar problems out there???? Replies to this message: 98slab (Dec 22, 2008 4:19 pm)
#20 of 41 1998 DeVille drivers window will not work by willietopz Dec 17, 2008 (9:25 am)
I have a 1998 Deville and the driver’s window stopped working. I can’t locate the fuse, the books I have talks about the fuse and relay but they don’t tell you were they are located. Is there a trick to getting the door panels off? Replies to this message: bolivar (Dec 17, 2008 6:58 pm)
