Code generated recently P0113, which, according to auto zone, is an IAT sensor on the caddy. Can't find anyone who has a book, or even a confirmable part number. Can anyone help?

install heater blower for 1997 cad eldorado
The solution is more than likely a new blower motor. Replacing this blower motor is no small task. I am in the process of doing it, but there is so little wiggle room that I suspect that if a cadillac mechanic does this job, they will jack up the engine/transaxle to make room. The motor itself is not cheap either, a replacement Delco is well over $200. I will let you know if my new motor install works.

my 1997 cadillac eldorado overheats plugs, thermostat, water pump, intake value have been replaced and still over heats.
Make sure the air in the cooling system is bled out,and make sure the cooling fans are coming on,and going off on there own.If they come on,they have to go off too,when it cools down.If the cooling fans do not come on,bled the cooling system,and replace the coolant sensor,this tells the computer to activate the cooling fan relays.Also check the fuse,and the cooling fan relay.

replacing the water pump in a 1997 cadillac el dorado
I'm assuming you have the Northstar engine.
My experience on replacing the water pump is with a 1998 STS but this should apply to your car too.
First of all,you will need the Northstar waterpump removal tool, You can get this from most reputable auto part stores.
You need to remove the air filter housing and ducting to gain easy access to the pump.
Remove the shield covering the pulley and belt. The belt is easily removed by levering the tensioner pulley.
The water pump is located at the lower radiator hose manifold where you will also find the thermostat.Remove the manifold cover and you will see the water pump.
Insert the removal tool over the pump making sure it is locked in position.You will need to use a breaker bar on the removal tool and turn the tool CLOCKWISE to release the pump (1/4 turn), or if you imagine the breaker bar being vertical, push towards the windscreen of your car,it takes quite a bit of force to unseat the pump hence the use of a breaker bar.
Installing the new pump does not require as much torque as removing the old one.
Tighten the new pump to 73 ft.lbs. making sure it is seated properly before tightening.
Don't forget to clean out the water pump housing prior to installing the new pump and don't forget to include a new water pump gasket and housing cover gasket.
It is also a good idea to install a new thermostat while you're at it.

location of coolant temperature sensor and location of fan coolant relay switch
Removal & Installation
To Remove:
To Install:
NOTE: Use care when handling the coolant sensor. Do not drop damage to the coolant sensor will affect the operation of the fuel control system.
NOTE: Replacement components must be correct for the application. Components requiring the use of the thread locking compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with these coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These coatings can affect the final torque which may affect the operation of the component. Use the correct torque specification when installing components to avoid damage.

I couldn't find a reference for the 'fan coolant relay switch' although I'm sure there is one on this car.
