1982 Cadillac DeVille Coupe from North America - Comments

"A solid reliable ride"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Plastic bumper/fender fillers deteriorated.

Catalytic converter bad.

Headliner sagging.

Erratic electronic climate control.

Engine oil leaks.

Transmission leaks.

Rear axle no oil and worn excessively.

General comments?

Considering the price ($1200.00) I paid, I find that the few repairs or fixes I have made have been worth the cost. So far the car is running quite well except for an erratic engine speed at idle. I believe there may be a problem with the EGR control valve.

My erratic engine idle was caused by worn accelerator shaft ports in the throttle body, causing the TPS to intermittently set at a different angle. I had the ports filled in and re bored to spec, and a long extensive and expensive gremlin chase ended.

Hope this helps.
