97 Cadillac Sts, Rebuilt Engine With Head Studs on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
Engine rebuilt with new Main, Rod bearings, Oil Pump, Rings, Primary timing chain, tension-er and guides, Head gaskets, New style Rear main seal which requires press in, Front seal, new power steering pump, New A/C compressor. 2 New front tires.
Things re-used and not replaced. Rod, Pistons, Cam gears, Crank gear, Intermediate gear, Cam timing chains, Known issues with car -- 1) throws code P0340 "camshaft circuit malfunction" Sensor appears to be sending pulses as measured with my meter. Sensor has been replaced , Ignition control module replaced, PCM replaced and wiring checked. 2) Control rods for ride stability control system are missing so "Information system" displays ride control systems messages on display. 3) ABS light on, possibly linked to missing ride stability control rods. 4) Fuel gauge does not work, stuck on Full. 5) A/C compressor will not turn on when using dash controls but will when jumped passed AC relay. Appears that circuit feeding voltage to control circuit of relay is at fault. 6) Climate control system blows air mostly out of Defrost vents only. I suspect this to be a vacuum related issue but don't have the vacuum hose routing diagram to verify and confirm. My opinion on who may want to buy this car -- If you have a good car that needs a Northstar motor then this would probably work out for you. Not sure of all the years and models that this would fit into but would probably be most all Cadillac's from 95-2005 or so that use the 4.6 Northstar V8. Below are a couple of links that you could probably contact and find out for sure. I will attempt to do the same and will provide the update when I find out but I encourage you to check for yourself. For others if you like this Cadillac and feel confident that you could fix the above listed issues or know someone that could then this might work out for you. I have a video of the engine rebuild, send a email if you want a link to the Youtube video. BUYER responsible for pickup or shipping of vehicle. |

Cadillac XTS to become Opel flagship sedan?
Tue, 24 Jul 2012According to Auto-News.de, Opel is considering using Cadillac's all-new big sedan, the XTS, as the base for its new flagship car, which would likely carry the name Omega.
WorldCarFans.com speculates that Opel could use GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 that generates 304 horsepower or, possibly, a 2.8-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that creates 321 horsepower to power the vehicle. The European automaker could even use a 195-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine in this application - fine, since many of Europe's largest sedans are powered by smaller, more efficient engines.
Regardless of power, the Omega could arrive at dealerships by the end of 2013.
Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss
Wed, 26 Jun 2013When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
