  • Page 350 SPECIFICATIONS 4.6L 32 Valve (DOHC) Northstar Engine The engine is a 4.6 liter Cam (DOHC), valve, and sequential port fuel injection. This design results in a powerful, refined engine which is well suited to even the most demanding driving conditions. Engine weight is minimized by the use of low mass alloy materials.
  • Page 351 The Northstar engine is designed to require less maintenance than many other DOHC V-8 engines. Engine systems are designed driver when service is required. An oil life index indicator monitors ongoing operating conditions and reminds the driver is needed. A low coolant warning message keeps track of the level vital fluid.
  • Page 352 4.9 LITER ENGINE .. . The 4.9 Liter transverse engine is an overhead valve, 90 degree V-8 design. The cylinder bore diameter and the piston stroke provide a piston displacement of 4.9 liters (300 cubic inches). This engine utilizes an aluminum crankcase with a separate aluminum lifter carrier and removable cast iron cylinder liners.
  • Page 353 The cast aluminum pistons use two compression rings and one oil control ring. The pistons are tin plated to provide a non-scuffing surface when the engine is new. steel camshaft is supported by five steel backed babbit bearings. It is driven by the crankshaft through a chain at the front drive gear is keyed to the crankshaft and the driven sprocket is bolted to the camshaft.
  • Page 354 This transaxle is the first of a new generation of “SMART” transmissions. The computer which controls the electronic shift solenoids adapts to changing environments while you drive. This provides consistent high quality shifts under all conditions. Communication between the engine and transaxle through this computer controls engine output during activation torque management or traction control.
  • Page 355 The Hydra-matic 4T60-E 4-speed overdrive, electronic transaxle consists primarily of a five element torque converter: two planetary gear sets, various clutches, final drive assembly, differential assembly, and a control valve body. The torque converter houses a pump, turbine, pressure plate which is splined to the turbine, and a stator assembly, serving as a fluid coupling, it smoothly transmits power from the engine to the hydraulically provides additional torque when required.
  • Page 356 Front Suspension Your fully independent front suspension is a combination strut and spring design. The frame is isolated from the body with six rubber mounts. Rubber bushings are used at the lower control arm pivots. Thc upper end of the strut is isolated by a rubber mount which contains a bearing to allow for wheel turning.
  • Page 357 ShortlLong Arm Suspension (SLA) Your vehicle uses an independent short/long arm rear suspension. All the rear suspension components are mounted on a suspension support which is attached to the body at four points and is fully isolated with bushings and insulators to minimize road noise. Each rear wheel is connected the suspension support through the suspension knuckle using an upper and lower control arm and toe link.
  • Page 358 Sensing suspension on the Eldorado. These systems control the damping forces in the shock absorbers and struts, in response to various road and driving conditions. The systems are capable of making these damping changes extremely fast. A computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration sensors, wheel to body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive signals.
  • Page 359 The power rack and pinion steering system,has a rotary spool valve which directs hydraulic fluid coming from the power steering pump to one side or the other side of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to the rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure which moves the rack left or right.
