You can still drive the car while it is off if you make sure the housing is covered and kept dry(piece of plastic, shop rag, and duct tape)
Good Luck and let us know
Also, my radio will turn itself off (or on) for no apparant reason. When the radio has turned itself off, the trunk will also not open - not until the radio turns itself back on, and then sometimes the trunk will pop itself open without my pressing the release button. Has anybody had this problem with the radio and trunk. The two seem to be connected.
They say that two heater hoses and the heater valve need to be replaced. Cost: around $300 for the parts, $400 for the labor.
For the radio/trunk problem: replacement of relay interface - cost: another $350 - and I don't know how much for labor.
Also, because the "check engine light" came on. They say that the o2 sensor needs to be replaced. Cost: $408. Labor: $86.
I was thinking that the "check engine light" came on as related to this coolant leak. It did not come on until after the leak had caused the coolant light to come on a few times.
I don't know if they actually tested the o2 sensor. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Then it got to the point ater a few months that i could only drive like 3 min before the car would shut off.
It was my crank shaft position senor (cps) withc are nortories for going bad.
I went onlie to autozone.com and checked it out the part cost me 75.00 and my husband put it on. every year is diffrent mine is a 99. but if you just type in the (cps) on the internet it will tell you were it is located, you can save alot of money this way.
I'm not really sure what your vehicle is doing. But maybe this will help you.
Good luck!!!!
I have a 2001 Catera with already 162000 miles in it and I love it. I have recently rebuilt the transmission on it and is working great. The only problem is that the vehicle won't start after I turn it off. I have checked the battery and is good. When I turn the key, it's DEAD! The battery gets drained or something. I have to carry a battery booster with me all the time. The car has been to the dealer in two dirrefent states on three different times and nothing. I have taken it to several mechanics but they can seem to pin point the problem. I think that it might be a relay or something. If anyone has had this problem, please help me.
I read your posting, I am having the same problem with my car, started a few weeks back, got taken in for a new battery that i don;t think i even needed. The car started fine for about a week and then the same thing, turn the key everything comes on, but will not turn over. Then i let it sit for a few minutes try a couple more times and it starts up fine. I had the fuel filter changed last week to start with had no problem for a couple of days and then the same thing today. How did you do with yours? Any ideas or help would be appreciated, Also does anyone ever get a burnt smell from there front end on the Catera????
thanks

Twice it was towed out of our garage.....as we had twin babies then,my wife was furious...Gm gave us a two two year extended warranty and a $2,000 off cupon for a GM car. i just bought her a 2008 Lucerne last June. I was offerd only $3,500 for the Catera in trade,so I've kept it as a third car.
It only has 54,000 mils on it...We're a little afraid of it still,but it's been fine the last two years....Except fot the washer tank empty light stays on...
I still ove to drive it...it has the same German goodness as Mercedes and BMW.....But if certainally has a storied past...
Hey thanks, very much appreciated

A P0601 code would suggest a corrupted PCM memory but I have no idea how to find a bad connection in the PCM wiring harness.
