The Cadillac Dealer diagnosis was low fuel pressure no trouble codes - needs a fuel pump. I'm not sure if that is really the problem. I would like to know if anyone has had similar problems and could help.

The only problems I have had in the past were: - Replacement of a Gear Selector Switch - covered under warranty
- Battery Replacement
- Eats up front tires every 15-20K miles

I have a 1998 Catera. Yesterday, it just died at a red light. No warning, no previous problems. had it towed to the dealership. They told me today, it is the crankshaft sensor. Not covered under warranty!
It will start, but immediately when it heats up a little bit, it dies. They tried to charge me $564 (that would include the crankshaft sensor, and one oxygen sensor). But I have a mechanic that found the C.S. for $41. It is on national backorder, though. will take about 3 days to get it. Needless to say, the dealership
won't be doing the repairs.
