I had the same problem with my 2000 Sedan DeVille DHS but it first showed up as the car dying when I tried to start it. The only way I could keep it running was to use the gas pedal. I cleaned the throttle body and thought this solved my problem but it returned and also went away with no apparent reason. I also started having problems with the car idling too fast, which would also go away. I removed the IAC valve (idle air control valve) and cleaned it. Thought this might have solved the problem but it came right back. After researching the internet I decided to replace the TPS (throttle position sensor) since it was a fairly inexpensive part ($34) and this didn't solve the problem. I finally replaced the IAC valve and the problem was solved. Told a friend of mine who was having the same problem with his Cadillac and it solved his problem. Delphi part number CV10012. Will find it on Amazon.com for $60 and free shipping. Was easy to install on my car. A dealer will charge you a fortune for the part and installation.

I am not sure if this will help you but PO27 is listed as "Open Throttle Signal Switch" which could mean that your throttle position sensor needs replacing. Although with Cadillacs, it could mean anything. I hope this helps...

SOURCE: changing the thermostat 2000 cadillac deville

The pressure they work within is usualy information on your radiator cap or owners hand book.Your thermostat should be a 180 degree but can vary The 180 is in reference to the heat required to open them so water can flow through and be kept at a more or less constant 180.There are other temp ranges for a wide variety of applications and 180 is the standard one for most vehiclesThe radiaor and water system is pressurised to lower the boiling point of the water The higher the pressure the lower the boiling point

SOURCE: battery removal 2000 cadillac deville

Its on passenger side under rear seat cushion. Get in back seat FACING rear seatback, grab under lip of bottom seat cushion, and pull straight up. Disconnect seat heater connector (if so equipped) on passenger side and remove seat bottom. Tada! There ya go! Oh... btw. Its a $150 battery due to the venting system designed into it to vent fumes through a tube to the outside world. Thanks Cadillac!!! :(

WOULD A IDLE CONTROL VALVE/IDLE AIR CONTROL BE CAUSING MY 2000 CADILLAC DEVILLE TO IDLE AT 1400 TO 1750 RPM SOMETIMES IT IDLES OK..IS IT A HARD FIX..THANKS...

Try cleaning the throttle plate first . I wouldn't just change the IAC valve without testing , hooking up a scan tool that show engine data.
A few different thing's could cause high idle .The idea is to test all thing's that could cause a high idle till you find the problem. Vacuum leaks , throttle plate sticking because it's gummed up with carbon , varnish build up . Or is the PCM/ECM making it idle that hight etc... Is the throttle cable bound up.
