different ones are available--with engine an oil cooler or without. How do I tell which

Question: 1987 Cadillac Brougham V8
Two Wheel Drive Automatic 118,00 miles. The engine drags after installing new
timing chain. I took the chain back off and motors spins freely. Now the chain
is back on and it drags like timing is off but no matter which way I turn
distributor it stays the same. What have I done wrong or is there something else
wrong? I never removed distributor.
Answer:
To change timing you have
to put it in limp mode, timing is set in computer so it stays, may have the
distributor off a tooth check that also, put a jumper wire in the diag terminal to get check
engine light on ( limp mode).

Question: I have a 1992 Cadillac Brougham 5.7
liter engine with a R-12 refrigerant ac system, 53,000 miles. The system is
fully charged but at idle the compressor will disengage and not start again
unless, A) I high rev the engine. B) Tap on the canister molded onto the high
pressure hose where the connection for the manifold gauge hose would attach. Am
I dealing with a contaminated system? Any advice appreciated.Answer:
Sounds like a pressure switch problem. Test for power in
and out of the low pressure cycling switch. Sometimes they get weak and wont
hold the comp on.
Question: 1991 Cadillac Brougham.
The fan runs at constant speed, will not turn off
with car. Must unplug fan to make it stop running. Climate control system does
not make any difference what it is set at. ie Auto Hi Auto Low, Auto all the
same. What could be the problem?
Answer: Either the ECC (Electronic
Climate Control Unit) or the Blower Control Unit. I would start with
the Blower Control Unit, It is basically the old fan speed resistor.
Question: 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brough 4.1L mileage: 70,000.
Not really, a repair question but advice. I am
considering purchasing the above vehicle from an older
gentleman who has lost his license. It is a real
cream puff with all the dealer maintenance records since
it was new, including the major repair of the intake
manifold gasket and the damage to the camshaft that I
understand was a major flaw on the motor. Should I
have any concerns about the vehicle? I talked to
several Cadillac mechanics and they told me that once
that repair has been made the vehicle is a good buy at
2000 dollars.
Answer:
Sounds like you may have found a good used car.
