    96 DeVille issues

    Two seperate, but possibly related, issues. 1) My gas mileage has gone down lately, from around 22 MPG to 17 . I use Sunoco 91 octane, keep the tires at 35 PSI (Goodyear Regatta 2's), and use 10w-30 motor oil. I usually drive 70 - 80 mph on the highway with the cruise on (I do have a heavy...

    Cadillac CD deck

    My 96 DeVille has the stock stereo, but a disc changer in the trunk with a wired control that uses a FM transmitter on 89.1 to get the CD audio to the stereo, and has served me well since I got the car. However, I recently bought the upgraded stereo with the CD controls built in (and DSP!)...

    96 Deville transmission issue

    found it! I had a Cadillac dealer run some diagnostics, and it turns out the transmission is fine - one of my coil packs is going bad, and the ICM is going with it (also causing stalling at idle), causing misfiring. Allot easier to work on that than a transmission.

    I have a 96 Deville that seems to be using oil - it will go from Full to Add on the dipstick in 3,000 miles. No clouds of blue smoke or any emissions issues (passesd inspection in late March). Is this normal for the engine to go thru that much oil in 3,000 miles? Im taking it to the dealer...
