IF IT IS A NORTHSTAR MOTOR, YOU WILL NEED SWIVLE SOCKETS...

Fuel regulator?

if it is the same engine then. yes

over heating can be caused by a number of things. your water pump could have died or the gaskets could have went on the water pump spilling your antifreeze every where. in which case you need to replace the water pump and gaskets. when you change the water pump you should replace the thermostat because they usually fail at the same time. your thermostat could have locked closed. in which case replace the thermostat. i recommend getting a fail safe thermostat so when it fails it gets locked open and then the car dose not overheat. your belt could have broke so your water pump wont turn. replace the belt. your radiator or hoses could be clogged with rust and sediments in which case you need to flush your radiator and change the anti freeze. you may be just low on anti freeze... so fill it up and see if it leaks anywhere. your tubes could have came off, be loose, or cracked and leaking; so replace or tighten them. your radiator could have a hole in it or leaking some where.. replace radiator. if you drive on dirt roads a lot the radiator could be full of sand and dirt could be full of mud if taken off road. just rinse the radiator out with soap and water. are your floor mats full of water or antifreeze? you could have a bad heater core. replace heater core. or you can cheat and take the two tubes off the heater core and splice them together. (which will leave you with no heat). your fan may have gone out so it wont cool the radiator. the last thing i can think of is very low or no oil in the motor. top off the oil.

whats wrong with alarm system what makes you think its the alarm

your key has a resistor chip in the middle of it and two hair thin wires running to the ignition lock cylinder. there are two ways to fix it yourself, first track the two small orange wires from the lock cylinder down under the dash then A. pop the resistor out of your key and solder it between the orange wires or B. measure the resistance value of the chip with an ohm meter, buy resistors that match that value and solder them between the orange wires.

this waring means that the ride control has been unable to maintain the correct ride height, this is caused in almoast all cases by leaking suspension air springs, the last on average about 100,000 miles

FAN MOTOR AND MODULE WHICH ENGINE IS IN ELDO 4.9 OR 4.6

The most likely cause is a loss of vacuum from the engine compartment to the black plastic vacuum line at the programmer. See if you can locate the vacuum line; most likely a small black plastic line that goes thru the firewall and into the passengers compartment for being loose and or busted and repair it.

Keep us updated.

This indicates a problem with your air suspension. There are many components from shocks, to lines, to sensors, to motors, modules, requires proper diagnosis

its call the blower resistor mostly located under blower box behind glove box area besure to check the conections for corosion but most of the time there just bad cheap repair but some imes a tough one on the knees

Special tools are needed, so you will not be able to replace the pump, have a shop do it.

no regular n premuim will not stop the car from running

The mechanic is probably right. You can see for yourself by looking inside the radiator. Make sure everything is cold, remove the radiator cap and look at the ends of the tubes. If you see lots of lime buildup or other foreign material, it may be time for a "rodding out" or re-coring job. Sometimes you can improve the situation with a cooling system flush and fill, but if the mechanic isn't trying to sell you that, it's too far gone.

There is a possibility that the engine temperature sensor is reading high. Is that what was already changed?

My 94 is doing the same thing, only worse. I bought it with this problem, and I`m in the process of diagnosing the cause. I am a novice with no money to hire help, but I`m determined to figure it out before I start buying parts I don`t need. So far, it is hard to find, because of the intermittant thing. I`ll be happy to share the solution when I find it, if you would do the same. Thanks, adnd good luck to us both. Dean

THE FLUID GOES IN THE TUBE THAT THE DIPSTICK IS IN CHECK IT RUNNING IN PARK

THE DIPSTICK TUBE IS JUST TO THE LEFT IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER BACK BY THE FIREWALL THE STICK SHOULD HAVE A RED TOP ON IT

If your caddy has the original trans,although it only has 50k on it,it is 15 years old

It will most likely need to be rebuilt
I used to own a trans shop years ago.
If you got 100,000 straight through in 5 years, you did good.
I did a lot of fairly new caddy trans, for a couple dealerships.
