Some of you may remember I had a '91 Deville and it caught on fire. I found a '93 in decent shape but with a few repair issues. Most of the issues are due to the guy I bought it from not doing proper maintenance. He didn't know how to take of a caddy and couldn't afford it.
Right now I'm having issue with a strong gas smell. I suspect the oxygen sensor. Where is it? How do I change it? How difficult is it? I don't have the FSM for this car yet. It's getting terrible gas mileage. Like 10 mpg. That won't work. Killing my cashflow.
The transmission is seems to drag in order to get to third or fourth. When I start it I start in second then put it in drive and it's perfectly fine. Doesn't slip or anything like that. Haven't changed the tranny fluid or filter. The previous owner said he did but I doubt it. I checked the oil after I got it and it was blacker than the tires. It looked fine when I test drove it. He must have topped it off. Engine runs fine. No leaks or anything. Seems to idle fine.
E40--power steering switch. Can't seem to locate it. Funny how this engine looks more crowded in the rear engine compartment than the '91.
I appreciate any responses and help.
