1993 Seville, Northstar will not start.

Hello,My 1993 Seville, Northstar, is not getting gasoline to the engine. The fuel pressure is excellent through the fuel filter. I have been doing some repairs: iac, starter motor, egr, isc motor... I took apart the entire upper intake therefore disconting the fuel lines. After reassemling the upper intake and fuel lines my Seville will turn over but it will not start. Does the fuel line need reseting?Thanking you in advance,-Roy

    No, prior to the recent work that I performed on my Seville, after replacing the tps the car ran at a high idle. I than changed the isc motor that I had replaced about a month ago. After changing the isc motor and than attempting to start the car the new isc motor screw is extended completly out slightly pushing the throttle body open. The engine turns over but it will not start. I believe it is not getting any gas.

    Thanks,

    -Roy

    Prior to doing all the work on my Seville it was idling high.

    While doing the repairs I did not remove wires from the coil.

    What is "ground strap" and how do I check it?

    Thanks,

Hi I am working on my 1993 cadillac seville sls 4.9l engine. It will not start

Wow... Thats a lot of parts replacement for what may be a simple problem. The vehicle needs fuel and spark to start ( along with air and compression ).Is there spark from one or more spark plug wires when one is disconnected and held over a grounding point while the engine is cranked over? Is there fuel supply? Pressure to the fuel rail tested? Check the basics before you invest tons of money in an older vehicle

Hello I have a 97 Cadillac Seville that I am

Being that there are misfire codes, (300 series P codes), and it's flooding I would put a fuel pressure gauge on it and try to check the injectors and the fuel pressure regulator for leakage. If the vehicle has sat for a while, 1 or more of the injectors may have stuck open. If the fuel pressure is way to high it can cause the pressure regulator to leak. See if that helps.

My 1993 seville was running fine, I turned it off and when I tried to start it again the starter kicked but the engine would not turn over as if it's stuck or locked.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Hello: All Cadillac Devilles had a Northstar starting in 1996. It will not make any difference if it is a SLS (275 HP) or a STS (300 HP)
