First off..Do you have the High Pressure direct injection 3.6 LLT engine or basic 3.6 Engine ? Yes the upper Plenium has to come off, but you will have to probably pull your wipers off, and the 7mm screws that hold the cowl beauty panel on and then there is enough cleareance to remove the plenium, disconnect throttle body snorkel tube at throttle body, remove 10mm bolt at brkt drivers side of throttlebody (ball stud) if I remember right, then there are 13mm bolts at back besides the obvious ones you can see and carefully lift it up off engine, thenyou can get to rails for the injectors, to bleed off 3.6 low pressure fuel system pull fuel pump fuse in trunk fuse box and start it let it run out of gas, then bleed Schrader valve too on rail, if you have a high pressure direct injection llt engine let me know, will describe procedure to you

SOURCE: how do i replace fuel pump on a 2006 CTS Cadlly

You must remove the fuel tank from the vehicle to get to the fuel tank module. Your vehicle is equipped with two fuel tank modules that are connected by a tube inside the fuel tank. The primary module is the one on the left side and it is the one that contains the fuel pump.

Have you scanned your computer system to verify that there is not a problem with the security system or the fuel pump circuits? Did you actually check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail? I'm only asking because dropping a fuel tank and replacing a fuel tank module is not easy or cheap....A BIG investment if you are not absolutely certain that this will fix your problem.

You just need to go through a simple Idle Relearn Process.

The Idle Speed Control motor will cause the accelerator pedal to tap and the car will surge back and forth, actually acting like there is a lack of power during intial startup.


Whenever a battery is changed, went dead or the ECM computer is replaced.

In order to make the engine run normal again, you need to take the car through a relearn process. Otherwise the idle could be very slow or have a 30mph idle.

To enable it to relearn, here's what to do.

1) Disconnect the battery cable for 15 minutes, before hooking it back up.

2) (KOEO) Turn the Key On with Engine Off, just so the electronics are on, but without starting the engine and turn the climate control panel to off.

3) Push the off and warmer buttons on the climate control panel at the same time and hold for up to 5 seconds for the computer to go into diagnostics.

On the fuel panel screen it will display 888 then E52 and then 70.

When it gets to 7.0 shut off the key for 1 minute.

4) Repeat step 3, two more times.

5) Start the engine without pushing on the accelerator pedal and let it run for 18 minutes with the climate control panel off.

6) After 18 minutes put your foot on the brake and shift into drive and wait 1 minute.

7) Then turn on the a/c by pushing the auto button. It needs to be warmer than 60 degrees F so the compressor can engage. Wait 1 more minute.

8) Put the shifter back in park and turn the key off.

9) Wait 1 minute

10) Idle relearn is now complete and the engine should start and run correctly.

Where is the fuel pressure test port on cadillac cts 07 the engine turns but will not run i hear the fuel pump running but i want to ck fuel pressure

Does it have spark ? Instead of trying to test fuel pressure , spray carb cleaner into the engine through the throttle plate or vacuum hose an see if it starts an runs ,at least till carb, cleaner is used up. What engine does it have ?

Engine Controls and Fuel - 2.8L
Engine Controls and Fuel - 3.6L
Engine Controls and Fuel - 6.0L

Fuel Rail
The fuel rail consists of 3 parts:
• The pipe that carries fuel to each injector
• The fuel pressure test port
• Six individual fuel injectors
The fuel rail is mounted on the intake manifold and distributes the fuel to each cylinder through the individual injectors.

You have to take the plastic cover off the top of the engine to see it .

2004 Cadillac CTS check engine light is on can't remember the code but it's for a dirty or faulty fuel injector replaced the fuel injectors last night light went off but came back on this morning

Need to know the code ? There are no codes for dirty fuel injectors . Circuit malfunction codes yes ! High or low voltage , open or shorted electrical circuits . Could be a wiring problem or a shorted injector driver inside the PCM - engine computer ! Automotive electronics are the same for Cadillac as for toyota as for dodge etc...

Why am I getting engine code 306 and and code 206 on 2004 Cadillac cts 3.6 eng

The fuel injectors are not working as the should. Run some premium fuel and fuel injector cleaner to try and make problem go away.
It problem persists the injector computer circuit voltages require checking. Possible injector controller or injector replacement could be solution.

How do I replace the fuel injectors on a 2006 cadillac cts 3.6 is there a video showing this?

They are held in place by the FUEL RAIL, they are not hard to change but make sure you BLOW the DIRT away from the area before working on the Area. You do not want to have the Dirt getting into the Intake.

Additionally, change the O-Rings to ensure you have a Good Seal, use the tool to get the O-Rings over Both ends of the Injector and use a light grease to allow them to slip into the Fuel Rail and Orifice in the Intake Manifold

#3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF FEUL AND TRUCK WILL NOT START.REMOVED SPARK PLUGS AND GAS POURS ON GROUND WHEN KEY IS TURNED ON FROM #3 CYLINDER PLUG HOLE.

The Vortec engines were notorious for those kind of problems. The problem will be under the upper-intake manifold, and the fuel injector assembly will either have a cracked plastic fuel line running out to one or more of the fuel injectors, or the fuel pressure regulator that is located on the end of the fuel injector assembly is faulty or it has detached from the fuel injector assembly. Either way the lower intake manifold will be flooded with fuel anytime that the fuel pump runs.

There were two types made, the first type had fuel lines that connected to the lower intake manifold, and then from the metal fittings the fuel line turns into plastic and runs inside the lower intake manifold and under the upper-intake manifold where it runs over to the fuel injector assembly, and this type can really flood out an engine when it becomes faulty.

The second type had metal fuel lines running over the upper intake manifold and they connected to the top of the fuel injector assembly, however, under the upper-intake manifold there are still plastic lines to the fuel injectors and also the fuel pressure regulator that could be faulty and cause the engine to severely flood.

The upper-intake manifold is not that difficult to remove, and after you remove the upper-intake manifold then (replace the fuel lines to the fuel injector assembly if it is the second type) turn the ignition to the "Run" position and when the fuel pump runs you should see where the fuel is leaking/spraying from, and it will most likely be a large high pressure leak from a ruptured plastic fuel line.

Let me know if you require any further assistance.

How do you seperate upper intake manifold from injector assembly

There is a o-ring around the injector assembly,it is probably stuck to the upper plenum.Try gently prying on both sides of upper plenum at same time.
