The code is for a missing cam signal, but your car uses a distributor instead of cam and crank sensors.
The problem may be the ignition module located inside the distributor.

The "check engine" light will "light" when there is a malfunction in the engine management system. The fault code is then stored in the computer. The computer must be scanned to retrieve these stored faults to pinpoint the malfunctioning component. We recommend buying your own scanner and doing it yourself. With a pocket scanner you can check for fault codes to find out why the light came on in the first place. You can clear your cars trouble codes after you replace the malfunctioning sensors.

If you have change the radiator , then check the thermostat for its temperature while running . then try to change the engine oil it could be one of the reasons that your car is having a overheat problem.

SOURCE: Cadillac Deville 2000- Engine check light code P0741

If you like go ahead and let someone sell and replace your transmission but here is my suggestion! Check around and see if you can find a minor vacuum leak! This can simply be the big round hose that goes from the fuel injection to the power brake hub! This is normally a push in connector which has about a 1/2 inch hose clamped on it! If there is any kink or the connector is not in correctly a leak will occur and the transmission will shift rough as though you will be thrown out of the vehicle! Try unplugging this connector and plug it back in hard and straight and maybe you will be lucky and fix your problem. If the vacuum is correct your transmission will shift better than you have ever experienced!

I have a 1992 Cadillac devile 4.9 charging issues Help????

Deville 92 old. lots to find bad that old. !
here it is, ID #2 below
you were told wrong, the reg is inside the ALT, actual.
the internet lied again.; 1/2 the time, asking 8year kid same.

the top parts sellers online,shows, no REG outside, so strike 2 on reg outside.

learn to keep that old (how old is it?) battery charged fully until car runs perfectly. or it can take 1/2 to jump start it or worse. dead batteries do not start engines and overload the poor donor cars electrics, doing so.(jumped)

once battery is new, or charged or load tested in a real shop
start the engine, see if GEN/CHARGE lamp goes out.? on dash.
if not alt is bad. wow no fuse then, scary then. lots of car fires.
or use voltmeter idling, at bat terms. 13,to 15vdc good below ALt is dead
140amp alt here.

What is trouble code 41 for 1988 olds 98???

It indicates a problem with the cam sensor. The problem could be a defective cam sensor or it could also be the magnet attached to the cam gear that the sensor detects. They have a history of falling off after many heating and cooling cycles. If the magnet (about the size of a dime) is missing, replacing the cam sensor won't help. The magnet will need to be replaced.

Set timing mode 1995 cadillac deville

Depending on the trouble codes, it may be the ECM. (computer)
You can have the car scanned for codes or attempt it yourself.
The "set timing mode" is the section of the computer program that you access to change the base timing. It should not show up on the display unless you access it.

Cam sensor signal was not received by PCM for the last 2 seconds while engine was running. You may have a bad crank sensor and balancer that is coming apart.

1988 sedan deville cadillac runs good until

Sounds like the battery is weak or the alternator isn't providing enough amps to keep the engine running and power the lights at the same time.
