Northstar Tuning

[michaeljohnson]

Hi, I'm new to this group. I own a 95 eldorado northstar car. She was running a little rough when I put it in reverse or at low idle in drive. It also popped sometimes. I figured it was the plugs, wires or maybe fuel filter or injectors. I took it to the dealer and they charged me $750 to change the plugs and wires. I thought this was a little high but the svc mgr said it took 4 hours of labor to do this. Does anyone know if this sounds right? Or next time I will do it myself. He said that I wouldn't be able to do it myself because I had to lift up the back of the engine.

Thanks in advance!

Mike

I never heard from John Sidesky at the Caddy Shop about the PCM.
I have been loading more programs and need this as a test mule. I will get one and send it out. If any one else wants one I will need a PCM. Email me.
I think I have the general taken care of.

QDC 235/60 ZR16 AL3
QDO 235/60ZR16 HW4
QVF 225/60ZR16 AL3

those are all Zs
hence the ZR

[AJxtcman]

I will call him in the morning.
Z no longer is a speed rating.
I would like to know what cars in what years had what tires.
example 99 ECT had QDC tire

I will have a PCM in the morning.
The highly intelligent Tech across from me misdiagnosed a starter for a PCM. The car got both. I will swap it out with a bad one.

[CadillacSTS2003]

Can this apply to the Northstar in the 05+ RWD STS?
