1994 Cadillac De Ville acts like vaporlock

I have a 1994 Cadillac De Ville that is acting like a vaporlock problem. I know how to fix this problem on older vehicles (an old wooden clothes pin)! This may not be the problem but that is what it is acting like. When you are going down the road doing the speed limit (not beating on it or anything) and it stalls. Go to push on the gas and she wants to die. Pull your foot off the gas it will idle, to an extent. Put it in neutral to coast and it will die. Let it sit for a few minutes and it will start back up. Few miles later, it will do this all over again.

You could use a test light or a bare piece of wire to act as a temp ground to find out. If it is a bad ground in the socket, the socket would need to be replaced.

Takes forever to pick up speed i replaced the cat converter

I would start with a cylinder compression test and then check the timing. I'm sure the car has over 100k, so it wasn't a waist to change the cat the fuel filter. There is no one answer for your problem. Things to check or proof out, vacuum leaks, fuel pressure, last COMPLETE tune-up, EGR, MAP, ECT sensor and the E-VAP system.

WHY DOES SERVICE RIDE SELECT LIGHT ON IN MY 1994 CADILLAC DE VILLE

one of the stuts / shocks have gone bad and need to be replaced. I am getting this done as I type this.

Electronic stuts are 600-1500 dollars and passive stuts are 300-600 dollars. Also if using passive struts / shock you need a relay/connector to bypass the computer command ride control. The can be made for a few dollars or bought on the net for $85.
