You probably have a cracked head gasket,Or evan the engine block could have a crack in it internally.

SOURCE: 99 cadillac deville engine overheating an loosing

Check to see if you have flow through the entire radiator.If part of the radiator core is cool to the touch when the engine is at operating temp, this indicates restricted radiator flow. If the entire radiator core is not allowing water to flow through, cooling will not be at all efficient. Also a good idea would be to purchase a block tester. available at napa and other reputable parts houses for around thirty dollars. You remove a small amount of coolant, and put the tool in the radiator, or pressure tank opening. If there are any combustable gasses present, i'e' exhaust, this would indicate a head gasket breech, (or maybe worse) and would indicate that it's time to stop looking for a simple problems, and get proffessional help. Good luck to you!

I have a 95 eldorado that is starting hard and idling rough. Also noticed gas pedal fluctuating. I have been told it is the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Does that sound reasonable?

SOURCE: 1999 cadillac deville overheating

my husband did everything that everyone else did that had this overheating problem. It was so weird that my engine cooled at a light and heated up going down the road. I have a north star 4.6 engine and this is natorious for happening. my check engine light also came on and so I had a diagnostics done which told me my #1 injector wasn't firing , car ran like **** as well. After putting in a new water pump and plugs,ect. and realized injector was good a friend told him we could have a blown head gasket. So just to see if this was the problem I went to buy a bottle of glassbeads and the auto parts guy told us to purchase a bottle of BARS STOP LEAK BLOCK SEALER NOT RADIATOR BUT BLOCK SEALER $31.99 . He followed the directions and we waited 24 hrs. before driving it. What ever the problem was has stopped my car runs like brand new and I am loving it again. no over heating no injector problem, runs great.......I hope this helps. I know its probly a temperary fix but its a fix and now we know what the problem was. SASSY

1995 eldorado running hot-loosing coolant

Two classic examples of a blown head gasket.
Check the coolant expansion bottle for exhaust-like fumes or any sign of oil contamination and the oil dip stick for any milky appearance characterizing an oil-water emulsion.

Cooling fans not coming on/1995 cadillac eldorado

there is a relay panel under the hood with your engine cooling fan relay inside, a 12 dollar part, sounds to me like this relay may need to be replaced. There will be a diagram in your owners manual telling you exactly where it is located in your car. It should be noted that this relay has to be activated before the current reaches any fuse inside the cars fuse panel so your fan fuses can all be good but if the relay is not working the engine cooling fans will not come on. Be careful of dealerships I had one tell me it was a 3000 dollar wiring problem when it was only the relay.

Running Rick, black smoke out of exhaust

Use cars driver info center to access engine data,scroll thru to engine/coolant temp. If temp is way off, such as you get heat from your vents but engine temp is 50,you have found the cause. coolant temp sensor is the engine computers "choke", rich cold,lean hot, etc.
