BodybyFisher Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 my buddy keith took it home to clean and get the water pump out,im still trying to clean the heads and other gaskets,,im hoping by this weekened its done,,i will keep u posted,,how do them gaskets look lol,,i know there bad Those seals look pretty bad, that appears to be where you were leaking pressure and coolant from. This is a good job, for rejuvenating your cooling system, I think you will be happy with your temps after you finish this job. How were you trying to get the water pump out, was the crossover bolted in? or loose? What did you do, give the crossover with the old pump still in it to your friend? Be careful with the new seals not to damage them if you are jockeying around a lot..

BodybyFisher Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Good find, we had a member Ken I think who had a leak at the heat tube and it was creating a 'fish bite', it can create a lean code if its bad enough Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BodybyFisher Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 If it looks good you can re-use it, there is a specific torque in inch/pounds, I dont have my manual handy right now, maybe someone knows, but snug them up in any case Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good is right., you need to put those wires back EXACTLY as needed, those wires are probably for the crank sensors, or O2 sensor, do you know where they go?

I would call the dealer and see if you can get new ones with pigtails, then twist and solder them and use heat shrink wrap and tape it good, or you can go to a junk yard and cut the connectors off a junked car Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo412 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 this is it,,,its saying its a speed sensor pigtail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 this is it,,,its saying its a speed sensor pigtail If this is from the FRONT of the engine, behind the exhaust manifold, it is the CRANK sensor, there are two of them one over the other. YOU MUST make sure that the two wires are correct in the two plugs AND make sure that the TOP connector and BOTTOM connectors go to the correct crank sensor. The crank sensor wiring is part of the wiring conduit that you would remove to do the crossover as I did The speed sensor is NO WHERE in the area, its on top of the right output shaft housing. Get the plugs I will get the crank sensor wiring colors and location for you from the FSM Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlaValentine Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 If it looks good you can re-use it, there is a specific torque in inch/pounds, I dont have my manual handy right now, maybe someone knows, but snug them up in any case There is no need to replace the gasket if it isn't damaged. Proper torque for those bolts is 8-11Nm or about 80 inch pounds. I have had that cover off mine more times than I would care to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
