1984 Cadillac Eldorado - Page 7 Questions & Answers
Im trying to find a easy way to install a flywheel on a 1973 cadillac elderado
Unfortionitly this is a big heavy vehicle and transmission and the tranny has to come off to get at this
Are you sure that the problem isn't with the drive gear on the starting motor. That would be much easyer to fix seeing the flywheel is much harder then the bendex drive gear on the starter .
Its made to fail before the flywheel starts looseing teeth although you never know its a 73 no telling what has happened to it .
Its worth looking at though

Water leaking from the back passenger side of the block between engine and transmission
Unlikely it is emerging from the joint between the engine and transmission but probably emerging from somewhere nearby and appearing to come from there.
There is often one or more core plugs at the back of engine blocks and cylinder heads as well as along the side. These are the things Americans call freeze plugs that sometimes corrode through. It could be one of those and the one in the block is sometimes not quite entirely covered by the transmission so a leak there could appear to be from where you say.
Unless there is good visibility and strong light it is better exploring with a dry finger a little at a time until the true source is found. This is usually made easier by using a tool to pressurise the cooling system.

Where is location of starter on 89 Cadillac eldorado?
Follow the positive battery cable to the starter. It will be at the rear of the engine, down low, next to the junction of the engine and transmission. That is where the starter turns the engine over, by engaging the engine's flywheel-which is at the rear of the engine.

My 1984 cadillac eldorado is running too rich
Can't adjust anything-- it is fuel injected
May be able to adjust the TPS Sensor, but
I doubt that will be part of the lean codes
or whatever you have
May have to mail the injectors away to be cleaned
& flow tested
Have to check for OBD1 Codes,first
Have to check,test & possibly replace the oxygen sensor
Have to test the CTS -coolant temp sensor, to make sure it goes
into closed loop & you have control over the fuel delivery
Too lean-- is either a RICH condition being corrected by ecm
or a vacuum leak & thus lean condition
Many other items & reasons as well
You will need vehicle experience with OBD1 Systems
& an understanding of the DFI Fuel System on the caddy
to work on it.
You say running too rich,what testing told you that?
Too lean & being driven rich, so that are the codes you see !
Dirty worn out injectors-too rich
Fuel Pressure regulator failed-too rich
There is good video on rebuilding a throttle body on
You Tube Video, you can watch & see about pressure
regulators & injectors on your type system
Check every vacuum hose in the engine compartment FIRST
for vacuum leaks
Do not forget about worn out & partially blocked exhaust converters
& clogged gas filters,not related maybe, but still have to be working
properly
