Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 2000 Continental? Any tips on removal? Thanks

Thanks for the info. My thought is that there is no fuel pressure, since I got nothing when I replaced the fuel filter as well.....just some seepage of fuel out of it. I'm looking at the diagram for the Crank sensor, and I'm seeing that it's right below the water pump - which I was having...

My 2000 Continental had a coolant lead a 2 months ago, so I decided to park it and start using my Mark VIII. Well I went to start it today, and the starter turns, and the engine sounds like it wants to start, but it's getting no gas. I pressed on the schraeder valve and got absolutely...

I've been searching for this for 45 mins and can't believe I can't find a thread regarding replacing the water pump. I've been having a coolant leak. There is a puddle underneath the car in the morning, and I can see it leaking down the serpantine belt area, so I'm assuming it's the water...

Looks like I asked prematurely. I figured it out. It was simple once I worked it out in my head. I used a 6" extension and a 3" extension. 1. Remove stabalizer cross bar 2. Insert 6" extension into plug hole 3. Connect 3" extension to top of 6" extension 4. Remove plug Reverse to...

I'm giving my car a tun-up, and have already replaced the front plugs. The back plugs seem a lot more problematic - no way to get at them. Any suggestions before I go out to Autozone and buy $50 worth of extensions and swivels?

Thanks for the input guys. I decided not to get it. The car just looked like it was messed with too much. Dash wasn't put back togethercorrectly, taillight assembly had some of that spray in foam insulator on it. There was also a bottle of coolant and oil in the backseat. Fail.

Is the fan coming on? Could there be radiator blockage? A car cools better when driving on the highway because more air is rushing over the radiator, thus cooling it down. When the car is driving slower, or in stop and go traffic, the fan turns on to simulate that airflow. If you have a...

I found a 1998 Deville on Craigslist with 62k on it asking 3,200. I checked out the car and talked to the guy on the phone, and cosmetically the car is in prestine shape, besides the headlights that have condensation and it looks like the dash was taken apart at one time (could have been heater...

LOCATION: CENTRAL NJ ASKING: $1250 MILES: 144k on clock, approx 10k on rebuilt engine. I acquired this Black / Tan 1993 Cadillac El Dorado touring edition last year from a friend, and indended on fixing a few things and using it as my daily driver. I have 2 other projects going...

Airbag Module? So I've examined all the wires and they look good. Should I assume that the Airbag itself is shot? Anything else that could be throwing this code / ways to test?

Picture of Wire Here is a picture of the wire that appears to have been repaired:

Yellow wires I went underneat the stearing column and found a yellow wire that had been electrical taped together. I thought that I nailed the problem, but then realized that there are 2 yellow wires. I'm assuming the yellow wire that was spliced is not the airbag wire, because the other...

Air Bag Thanks for the info - I'll try it the next time I don't have work and its light outside (which seems to be few and far between lately). I am extremely careful when dealing with the airbag system. I disconnect the batter, the fuse, and wait 15 minutes so the backup cells are drained...

R026 I pulled the Drivers side airbag out and inspected it. It still had a little tamper proof 'pin' at the connection, so I don't anybody has been tampering with it. Although I picked up the car a couple weeks ago, it was from a friend, and based on what he said, there is no reason to think...
