2002 Cadillac Owners manual and repair

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some of the 2002-2003, model year, Cadillac Deville and Seville cars equipped with V8 (4.6 l) engine (L37/LD8), Oldsmobile Aurora V8 engined vehicles (4.0 l) engine (L47) and Pontiac Bonneville SSEi vehicles. Fuel tank pressure sensors in these vehicles is unusually sensitive to malfunction. If the sensor fails, excessive vacuum can be applied to the fuel tank during the self-test. Fuel system components can be damaged and fuel can leak from a vehicle, where it refueled. Possible symptoms of this disease are the smell of fuel from the fuel tank area, inaccurate fuel gauge readings and poor controllability. If there is an ignition source, can cause a fire.

2002 Cadillac Escalade Engine Knock on Cold Start

Some of the above vehicles may exhibit an engine knock noise that begins in the first 19,000-24,000 km (12,000-15,000 mi) of use.

The noise is usually more noticeable on the initial start-up when the temperature is below 10°C (50°F) and may be more pronounced on the first cold start following a long trip. This noise may be caused by an interaction between carbon that has formed on the piston, the piston motion and the cylinder wall. GM Powertrain Engineering, and an analysis of engines with this condition, has confirmed that the noise is not detrimental to the performance,

2007 ACURA TL TYPE-S

After a three-year hiatus, the Type-S reintegrates the TL fold. For 2007, this version features a 3.5-litre V6, rather than a 3.2-litre. The engine makes 286 horsepower and can be mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. The Type-S also comes specially equipped with exclusive wheels, front four-piston Brembo brake callipers, a firmed-up suspension, and more.

Interior and trunk
Access is relatively easy for both front and rear passengers. The front seats are very comfortable. However, stocky people wearing heavy clothing will feel like their back is supported more by the big side bolsters than by the seatback, which is not very comfortable on long trips. However, if you fit between the side supports, you’ll fully appreciate these seats. Thanks to the tilt/telescoping steering column, the driving position is excellent.
