tervist, tervist.
olen ise selle mootorivahetusega vaeva näinud. saab vahetada küll, kui süütemoodulid eest ära kruttida ja mootorit veidike ettepoole venitada. aga jah, vilets on küll.
Kui hakkab jamama (kord töötab, kord mitte), siis ootab ees ikkagi uue mootori install. Eraldi seda reguleerimisblokki ei müüda, see on osa mootorist.
Mul 96 DeVillel hakkas just sellist jama tegema, et vahel tõõtas vahel(eriti jahedama ilmaga) ei töödanud. Vahel sai kliima settingut venti max kiiruse ja väljalülituse vahel klõpsides taas tööle meelitatud aga see pole ikka lahendus.
seda mootorit on 2 varianti - vanem versioon on suurem kobakas ja ka raskemini installitav, uuem veidi õhem ja lihtsam paigaldada. maksab miskine 100 taala mikimaal.

There is no easy way. Remove the rear plug wires.
Remove the ICM and set off out of the way. FYI, there are two hidden mounting bolts on the back of the ICM that require the Braille method to remove (don't drop 'em. They will fall into the cradle and are damn near impossible to find. Don't ask)
Unclip the EVAP solenoid from the rear cam cover and move it out of the way.
Open the hold down clip on the loom running along the rear cam cover.
Once you have everything cleared out of the way, unplug the blower motor.
Now remove the three bolts in the center of it. that will allow you to remove the inertial plate. That is the large black disc in the center.
Once that is out, the armature will come out and then the 5 bolts around the perimeter (some of which need to be done by the Braille method with a 1/4" drive socket. That's the easy part. The new one has been redesigned and has to go in in one piece. You'll notice, it won't fit.
There is not enough clearance between the rear cam cover and the firewall.
Remove both torque struts (dog bones) and replace the left one (longer of the two) with a small (7") turnbuckle. Tighten up on the turn buckle and you should be able to rock the engine forward about an inch or so. That will give you just enough clearance to get it in but do not expect it to go without a fight.
Now fight with that snake of a wire loom and pull it up enough so that you can get the blower somewhat into position with the loom behind the back end of the blower motor so as not to be in the way. Now wiggle, push, turn and curse the blower motor till it pops into place.
You will need to use a little force and the cage as well as the housing will give a little so that is not a problem. Once it pops into place let out a loud YYYES.
Once again use the Braille method to replace the lower of the three mounting bolts. Yes I said three. The new motor as I said is redesigned and only uses three.
Don't forget to put the heat shield in place first or you'll have to take it apart and do it all over again. Don't ask me how I know.
Now simply put everything back in place, remove the turnbuckle and replace the torque struts, wipe up the blood and finally clean and bandage your wounds. Now sit down and
The first time took me about 3 hrs. I did not rock the engine forward. I used a pry bar and forced it in place on the advice of a Cadillac mechanic. Big mistake. I obviously cracked the cage. It lasted 7 months and exploded about 2-3 weeks ago. I got it warrantied and this time I knocked it out in about half the time or better.
Good luck.
