Celanoid gets hot and jeep won't start replaced starter and noid but nechanic now says steering column needs to be replaced?

SOURCE: 1999 Cadillac Catera - 103,000 miles - cranks but no fire

Hello carol...from the symptons you describe more than likely it's the CPS (crankshaft position sensor.)
The CPS is a common problem on Cateras with these symptoms.
The sensor is a magnetic impulse type that sends a signal to the computer, the computer then triggers the fire signal. When the CPS gets weak, dirty or has low voltage the intermitten no starts occur. It will finally result in a no start at all...Please be aware that a lot of caddy dealers will and have overcharged customers for this common problem by ill advise and replaceing uneeded componets.
Good luck...i hope this helps and will fixya up.

Replace the crankshaft position sensor

Replace the key Im the forman for a jeep dealership. The dealer should have told you that in the first place. there is no reason the key would unprogram itself unless the chip is intermitently shorting out. If you have another key start it if it stay running u know the key is at fault. hope this helps u out.

The check engine light is a warning to let you know something needs your attention to be repaired I would try getting a jump. Could be a bad battery. Lets get the battery charged and tested. Cold weather will stop your car from starting if you have a weak battery. You dont need to tow the car just take the battery to Autozone or Walmart to be charged and tested for cca...cold cranking amps

The miss,does not just come and go,if it is a engine valve,replace the coil and boot,go from there,if this does not solve the problem,then the injector is gone out,or going out.If it is a engine valve,the miss would never get better,then worse,it would be the same all the time,get him to run a air compression test,get the valves up(close)and see if any air is detected threw the exhaust,or the intake,it will be present if the valve is the problem.
