Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'elegence is the best car in the world up to 1992.

Just bought it, 66000 original miles. I have black smoke at idle and when driving. More when I really hit the gas. I changed the cap and rotor, which looked new, and am going to do the plugs and wires tomorrow, but expect nothing there either. Car smells like gas sitting. My friends said...

I am still blowing cool and the compressor is still coming on, but its not cold. I went to the car wash today and cleaned the engine, and I noticed bubbling water up by the firewall on one of the a/c parts. Its where the line goes into the firewall and there is that large cylindrical part. A)...

Where can I get new shocks for the rear that are the right parts and cheap?

Sixty special Went and looked at it today, and its a no go for me. Rust has gotten to it. It has 94000 miles on it. Leather not in bad shape, except the drivers side. That seats track has come undone. There is a pic of it on craigslist buffalo ny. He wants 1500, but it has a check engine...

I am going to guess! I am assuming that it is the emissions pump.

Another quick question. So that means that they have to pull the engine to get to the head? The $500 guess, is that to pull engine and all? Because my mechanic was making it sould like it was a huge deal, like a thousand or so.

2001 Continental, 70000 miles. Hit the gas hard the other night and all of a sudden the car started running like crap. Took it to autozone and they said a misfire on 4 and 8. OK. Took it to work and had my bus mechanic look at it, he said it looks like a vaccum or pollution metal hose broke...
