If the cooling fans are running and the radiator is full and clean you may have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Does it blow white smoke out the exhaust if yes it's a head gasket and the heads will have to come off, is the belt turning the water pump?. That's all there is I hope this helps. Take care.

CSP, It sounds like you have a vacuum leak that is causing the IAC ( idle air control ) motor to move in and out trying to control the idle. Check all vacuum hoses on the engine for disconnect, cracked or damaged. If the hoses crack when you bend them, they need to be replaced.
Let me know what you find and we can go from there.
Regards,

Have you unhooked the battery since you put the freon in? If not, do it.

SOURCE: my 1997 cadillac eldorado overheats plugs,

Make sure the air in the cooling system is bled out,and make sure the cooling fans are coming on,and going off on there own.If they come on,they have to go off too,when it cools down.If the cooling fans do not come on,bled the cooling system,and replace the coolant sensor,this tells the computer to activate the cooling fan relays.Also check the fuse,and the cooling fan relay.

How to replace the heater core in a 1991 Cadillac Eldorado.

Not sure if this will help but this is on a 2001 Eldo which should be close to what you have. I would also suggest the library and check out a Chilton's repair manual for you car.

1998 Cadillac ElDorado has a "rusted out" freeze Plug, How do I repair it?

The plug would need to be knocked out and a new plug installed.
Usually you can take a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer to drive the scewdriver into the plug, then work it out of the hole. The new plug is tapped in with a large socket and a hammer.
Space around the plug may be very limited.

2000 cadillac eldorado will not start

I think you may have a battery cable connection problem, clean them with baking soda and a wire brush and also make sure the battery is good, have it load tested by a parts store like Autozone, it is a free test.

1995 cadillac eldorado fuse box location

Cadillac fuse boxes are located under the dash on the driver's side and also under the hood on the driver's side. That is the case on my 1997 Cadillac Deville. Check your manual, for your Eldorado.
