Ah, Cadillac Allante, it's a very fancy car. I knew someone who had this back in the 90s. Electrical problems are very tricky. I would advise taking it to your local independent mechanic. Good luck.

Do not bother with the dealer at this time. You will likely encounter a mechanic who was not even out of grade school when these were built. Contact Dick Hussey at http://allantesource.com/ he eats ,breathes and sleeps Allante's and has a tremendous supply of parts. He repairs Allante Dash's everyday and has a big supply of used ones - if that is what you need. Check with him first before you spend any money.

My 1990 Alantee acts like it is not getting gas. I can shoot starting fluid in the air filter and the car runs fine until the fluid burns out. I checked the fuses in the center console and they are OK. This happened after the security system went off as a result of me changing a dead battery. I was wondering if there are 2 possibilities preventing the car from running. 1 â Did the factory security system cause my fuel pump to deactivate? And do I need to reset it??? Or 2 â could I have blown a fuse someplace when I changed batteries? I suspect the fuel pump has no power because when I turn the key, I can not hear the pump. Thanks for your comment on this question. 10 Answers
