need source for 99 cadillac service manuals

Remove this ad
Hello,
My 1999 De Ville (61,000 miles) is running a bit rough, the Service engine soon light is on, and the DTC code reads P0173, "fuel trim bank 2".

I need to get a good service manual so I can start trouble shooting this fuel injection problem.

Any suggestions? Also, what does this error code mean??

Andy

Re: need source for 99 cadillac service manuals

Don't waste any time or money on any manuals other than a Helms manual. They publish the factory manuals that have , by far, the best, most detailed info. Try something like www.helmsinc.com or such.....

The code basically means that one side of the engine needs a dramatically different closed loop fuel correction (or "trim"). There is an O2 sensor on each bank and the PCM looks at the engine as two inline four cylinder engines for the fuel trim since it only "sees" those four cylinders on that side with any given O2 sensor. Since the engine should operate the same cylinder to cylinder and bank to bank the fuel trim should always be pretty much the same side to side. If not, then there is a clue that an injector is malfunctioning or something similar.

Based on the rough running and fuel trim imbalance it sounds like an injector may be sticking open...or not opening....

You could go thru the injectors at idle pulling one connector at a time to do a cylinder balance test by disabling one injector at a time to see if any injector sticks out as a problem.


If your post is correct and no typo and you have a 1999 then you have a Northstar and this post might be better off in the Northstar section instead of the 4.1/4.5/4.9 section as you do not have that engine.

Re: need source for 99 cadillac service manuals

The helm manuals that bbob mentions are the best out there... They're pricey though at around $120/set...

The last couple sets of helm manuals I bought I picked up used from factoryautomanuals.com ... They usually go for around half the price of new... I've done business with them and recommend them... They only sell books in good condition and if you can handle maybe a shop name written on the side, they're a good bargain...
