If you like go ahead and let someone sell and replace your transmission but here is my suggestion! Check around and see if you can find a minor vacuum leak! This can simply be the big round hose that goes from the fuel injection to the power brake hub! This is normally a push in connector which has about a 1/2 inch hose clamped on it! If there is any kink or the connector is not in correctly a leak will occur and the transmission will shift rough as though you will be thrown out of the vehicle! Try unplugging this connector and plug it back in hard and straight and maybe you will be lucky and fix your problem. If the vacuum is correct your transmission will shift better than you have ever experienced!

Not much you can do without an expensive scanner and wiring schematics. You can check all electrical grounds for loose or corroded connections that includes the battery. Also check all fuses. Other then that you would need to take it into a shop. I wouldn't recommend a dealership because I feel there labor rates are to high and secondly the car is old enough that any half way decent shop should be able to fix or at least diagnose the problem. Hope this helps and good luck.

My car just started to have this same exact problem. Worked fine, came back home from a trip and it won't start. Everything comes on but no fuel guage movement or click when try to start. I have 85,000 miles on the car. Seems to be a common trend. Anyone find or receive a fix from a dealership?

I have a 2003 cadillac cts. the other day i was driving out of nowhwer a message comes in the screen saying "gas cap adjustment" or something like that n next thing you know my engine light came...

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. A loose gas cap will throw a check engine code in most newer vehicles. As long as you tightened it up, you are fine. The light sjould go off on it's own before your next refill, but if it doesn't take your car to an Advance or Autozone and they will clear the code for you for free. There is no danger in driving your car with the light on for this trouble code. Have a great day.

Their is a weird noise coming from my cadilac cts 2003 3.2 gas tank. sometimes when i put gas in my tank or just take off the gas cap my car will have trouble starting.I also notice that my gas tank is...

sounds like a vacuum problem. check for any kinks that could cause clogging or cracks rips tears in all your rubber hoses that may cause air leak. you may have a stuck idle air control valve. there may even be a problem with your exhaust gas recirculation system. if nothing you can disconnect your battery for 5 min to reset the power train control module (computer that controls the engine) buy a repair manual for your vehicle and check Cadillac enthusiast forums for common issues it may be some plug in your engine has a habit of coming loose or any number of easy to fix issues. goodluck

Hi I own a 2003 Cadillac CTS I am getting a check engine light error light with code P0128 and my heat is fluxuating up and down I have already installed a themostat. What are my options

A code P0128 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

1-Low engine coolant level
2-Leaking or stuck open thermostat
3-Faulty cooling fan (running too much)
4-Faulty coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
5-Faulty intake air temperature (IAT) sensor

Check coolant level
Check to make sure thermostat is functioning properly Check the Cooling fan Check the ECT sensor Check the IAT sensor If all else fails replace the thermostat

Engine light on

Check what the problem is with an OBDII reader to get more information about what exactly is wrong. Could just be something simple like a small emissions leak from the gas cap.

Cadillac cts cranks but won't start

My 2003 CTS would not start on the first, second or third try after filling the gas tank. Finally after several months of this occuring every two weeks a check engine light came on. It was the evac purge valve. Tom

the sensor is wearing out, that causes the gas not to back flow, or you need a new gas cap(pressurized). I would get a GM gas cap, because the after markets aren't that reliable for your car.

Enigne light is on a few days ago i had the message check gas cap and now the light for engine is lit and gas cap has been tightened. Does it need to be reset? Or take to someone help.

It does need reset. Try a local AutoZone or parts store that does free check engine lights. Any repair shop will charge diagnosis.
