Also, you can run the OBD codes on a 2002 Deville. Run the codes and post them here, and the codes will probably tell us most or all of what needs repair.

The only codes that come up which I think have nothing to do with overheating is

IPM Bo429

RFA Co760

I dont know should both fans run at same speed ?

Driver side runs 2 time faster then pass side.

There are two things that you haven't listed that may cause overheating but won't throw a code: a radiator cap that doesn't seal (could be the wrong type!) or a leak in a hose clamp or elsewhere in the coolant plumbing, and stopped up by-pass hose. Other general things to check are obstructed radiator (leaves, etc), clogged radiator, etc. I don't have anything specific on the 4.9 so I'll defer to those who do have experience and manuals with that engine.

The Northstar came out for the ETC/ESC and STS, along with continuing in the Allante, in 1993. The 1992 had the new E/K platform, and the STS was Road & Track's Car of the Year, but another year later came the Northstar except for a very early introduction of the 1993 Allante with a Northstar in the Spring of 1992.

Yeah, his signature block shows a 1992 ETC, apparently with a 4.9, but he's asking about a 2002 Deville.

Check your tensioner pulley to the waterpump to make sure it is not stuck and not giving you the proper tension on the waterpump belt. Pull the hose that goes into the top of your surge tank (bypass hose) coolant should be peeing out of this when the engine is running.
