Ok, I need help, im stumped. I have a 96 Cadillac Devillle 4.6L and I've been having problems with overheating. I've done alot of work within the last week and nothing seems to work, I've replaced the following:
Radiator
Water Pump
Water Pump Belt
Heater Core
Temperature Sensor
Thermostat
Radiator Cap
*Fans come on around 222 degrees. There's white smoke coming out of my expansion tank when I remove my radiator cap. Checked my oil, and there's no coolant in it. Also, my air conditioner doesn't blow through the vents, don't know if that would affect anything.
Please help, I'm going crazy.
Did you run a compression check? if so and its good then you have a blockage in the water jacket
if not then you have a head gasket leaking
would that be the mounting behind the waterpump
when you mentioned a blockage inthe water jacket or am i burnt and it needs a head gasket

OK, will do that.......what's a head gasket leak??? The same as them being blown or an easier fix?
I have a 1996 cadillac deville with the same problem it keeps overheating however my fans don't kick on at all....
96 deville sedan, the 4.7 liter. it has two fans behind the radiator and i have yet to see them turn on, the car will stall and overheat when the coolant temp reaches 200 F, but normal running temp is 197 F . so if i stop for a few minutes at a red light it overheats and stalls.
My fans are coming on. Tested off the car and on. Where is the temp sensor located?
