try this trun key on do not start just to on. leave on for 10 to 20 min.s then trun key off and try to start this should reboot the computor.

Hello, That message means there isn't sufficent oil lubricating the moving parts of the engine. This could be caused by little or no oil in the oil pan. Using the dip stick(yellow handle under the hood front passenger side) pull the dip stick out wipe off with rag, re-insert it and check on lower end and see where level is. It could also be a failed oil pressure sensor. It could also be caused by oil pump failure. If you have run the engine a lot it may have severe internal damage. Thank you.

This sounds like a blown head gasket. You can purchase a kit that when used per the instructions you will know for sure

that it is a blown head gasket. You might try some of the sealers that are on the market but I do not back any of these half way fixes. I was a professional Cadilliac Technician for over 30 years. FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

First have you checked your oil level? If you have the proper oil level then most likely your oil pressure should be good. Do you have any leaks? How many miles are on the vehicle? It could very well be the low oil pressure switch failing. located on the oil filter adapter. These are known to fail, only cost about 10$ and about 30 minutes to change. If you have any doubts that your oil pressure isn't good have it checked by a qualified mechanic.
Thank you,

did you chrck in the trunk? caddy is famous for puttin fuse boxes in the trunk...i think yours is on the drivers side

A 7/8 INCH CROWS FOOT WITH 15 DEGREE OFF SET EXTENSION WILL WORK BEEN DOING THAT SINCE 1993 WHEN THE NORTHSTAR CAME OUT

possible broken wire from the ignition lock cylinder

problably leaks in the a/c system, possible suction discharge hose or the compressor know to leak.

How fast do yo mean? It could be the overflow cap not holding pressure and letting the coolant release at the cap. Have the cap pressure tested. This is something a lot of shops overlook. If it's not here then the coolant must be going into your engine. Check your oil to see if the color is different than usual. If it is, have it checked out because you have major engine problems.

You need to pull the tensioner in the opposite direction of the belt side to loosen the belt enough to remove.You should diagram out the way the belt is routed first also.The tensioner is the part that looks like it isn't really attached to anything purposeful and is spring-loaded.It may be a little difficult to move,but you should be able to move it enough to get the belt started off.Good luck!

NORTHSTAR 4.6 ENGINE REMOVE INTAKE MANIFOLD SERVICE COVER FROM THE ENGINE.SPARK PLUGS IN THE VALVE COVER BUT THE SPARK PLUGS NOT HARD TO CHANGE.YOU NEED A LONGER SPARK PLUG SOCKET OR YOU USE REGULAR SIZE PLUG SOCKET USING LONGER EXTENSIONS.YOU NEED SPARK PLUG BOOT PULLER.YOU NEED A UNIVERSAL JOINT.BESURE TO GET PIECE RUBBER HOSE 10 INCHES OR WHAT EVER SIZE PLACE HOSE OVER SPARK PLUGS FOR THE HARD TO REACH SPOTS TO HELP AID SPARK PLUG BACK IN WITHOUT STRIPPING THE THREADS.HOPE THIS HELP.

Have you had the battery tested?

Misfire.This problem is related to many possibilities.If there is check engine light on then get the car scanned at diagnosis center. Get car scanned at diagnosis center to get error codes, at diagnosis center you will receive the error code. As per the error code it will detect the exact faulty part in the car due to which the problem is occurring. For more help: --- at www.autozone.com it’s absolutely free to get car scanned.
------------ But if there is no check engine light on then you have to trouble shoot the problem by checking the parts related to misfire.
1)The misfire counter function can help you determine which cylinder is behaving badly.you can identify which cylinder is causing a dead misfire. Carefully disconnect one spark plug at a time. If the cylinder you are disconnecting is operating properly you will hear a change in RPM. If the cylinder you disabled is the bad cylinder you will see no change in engine behavior.
2) Check your ignition system. There are several steps to this.
A)Remove spark plugs and check to see if the electrodes look worn down or contaminated. Check your spark plug gap with a plug gapper to see if the electrode has worn down.B)Use a multimeter to check your spark plug wire resistance. They should read roughly between 2,000 - 12,000 Ohms. What you are really looking for is an open circuit in one of the wires. Bend the wires around and see if you lose continuity.C)Check cap and Rotor. Look for carbon tracking or extremely worn down rotor.
3) If you know your ignition system is operating properly you may want to check compression. You may already have the spark plugs out from your ignition check so it only takes a minute to check engine compression.
4) Get the fuel pressure checked. If its less then its quite possible that fuel pump needs to be replaced and fuel filter is got clogged.
5) Vacuum leaks - A vacuum leak will cause a misfire. If the leak is near a certain cylinder that cylinder will misfire. You can try to find a leak by spraying down the engine carefully with carb cleaner. If you spray the location of the leak the RPMs will rise. You can also inject the intake manifold with smoke from a smoke machine and look to see if it leaks out anywhere it is not supposed to.
6) Another possibility is problem is sensors.The MAF sensor,The EGR valve,the O2 sensors.The TPS sensor.All has to be checked.
TPS- means throttel position sensor.O2 means oxygen sensors,MAF means Mass Air Flow Sensor,The EGR means Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve/Sensor.This has to be checked to confirm what is causing the problem of misfiring.But if there is check engine light on then get car checked as this will directly detect the error AS per the code you can replace the proper faulty part.


Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

If by that you are trying to say that the alternator isn't charging the battery when the engine is hot then the alternator brushes are worn out. If you search in car shops you could find a replacement set of brushes, but installing them is tricky; just replace the entire alternator , it will be faster and cheaper in the end.

Actually it should be very simple... There are 4 Nuts on the carburater which you can loosen. There are some linkages from Carb to the gas pedal, Choke...They need to be remove.. but do it as to remember how to put it back when installing a new one.
Now make sure they give you a new fiber/asbestos gasket. This is important.. If it leaks... you will not get good gas milage
once the carb is on.. tighten all 4 nuts, do not overtight them, but tighten them

it will cause it to overheat if you are losing a lot of water otherwise it should not, fix the leaking hose first & see that fixes the problem,if not you need to investigate further,it could be a blocked radiator or a faulty water pump......hope this helps.....cheers

Remove the inside fabric to remove the license lamps if replacing them is what you were asking

reset computer unhook ground cable rehook . heater control should read auto two times.

is the fan coming on? are you losing water out the radiator? if the head gasket is blown it can be blown into the oilpan the oil will be milky it can be leaking out the side of the heaqd at the block or going into the cylinders and out the exhaust you can also have a bad thermostat i have bought bad new ones one way to test it is take it out and boil it in a pan of water it should open about 180 to 190
