I have a 1997 Catera. this is my first caddy. I only paid 175 bucks for it because the guy was going to junk it. here ismy issue.
I searched and found that there is a problem with the CPS, so i changed it, thinking that the guy was an idiot and i got a good deal. but to no avail it is still dead.
Some more backround here... the guy had replaced the steering column. so there is 2 Passkey sensors here. i tired both, between tries i pulled the neg batt cable. but the problem now is i don't know if the keys that i have were the ones that came with the car, or the ones that were with the new column.
Is the Passkey Sensor/keys vehicle specific? I need to find a way around it if possible, as i dont want to dump a ton of cash in this car. it is going to be my Fiance's winter car (She has a 1990 Foxbody Mustang Coupe) so i can do the 5.0 conversion this winter.
If i cant make any progress, i am pulling the drive train, and swapping a Fuel injected 5.0 Ford.
Some more basic questions...
1.) Where is the ECM? Is it the box labeled Motec near the battery?
2.) Where is the fuel pump relay?
Thanks for your time in helping me. If i make no progress in this, i am going to cut it up and make a toy. please help me NOT let that happen
