Cadillac Repair: floods up when start, vacuum line, vacuum hose
Questionwell we did tune up on this car we have a 1979 cady Seville with a 5.7 motor we change the spark plugs twice what could be causing it to flood up
AnswerThere is a vacuum line that connects to the computer which is located under the center of the dash near the hump in the floor that connects to the computer and to the intake manifold. If this hose is EVER removed and the engine is started it blows the computer instantly. So when you replace the computer make DAMN sure that this vacuum hose is OK or you will blow the new computer.
I am NOT saying that this WAS the cause, Just providing you with this important information.
In your case, The cause is a fault within the computer and it MUST be replaced. I would also STRONGLY suggest that you replace the COOLANT SENSOR due to age of the sensor.
