I have an cadillac Cts 2003 , For the first week i would try it and it wouldnt work so I would leave it alone for about 10 to 20 mins and try it again then it would start . Sometime if i leave the car idle, say at a stop light it would turn itself off. Now it doesnt start at all . When i turn the key i can hear it trying to start but when i let go of the key it would just stop. Some people say its the timing belt, spark plugs,or the fuel pump.Im not hearing a ticking sound so i guess its not the starter.
The plugs are the problem, they become unable to ignite all the fuel when in idle, so that they get wet and won't give any spark until dry. try to replace them. if there's no difference the problem is at the admission system(fuel pump maybe)
I have this problem to . I have a 2003 cadillac cts, i payid $1100.00 do they can fix it.. but i still have the ssme problem. Im a girl and have no idea whats wrong with my car.... Please help

i had the same problem with my cts found out that i had a bad crank sensor
my cts will crank by itself when i turn the car on but won't start. we have changed the spark plugs and have put on a new timing belt. still does the same thing. It quit on me while I was at drs appt 40 miles away from my home. I called the dealer ship and they told me to turn the key to on position and leave it like it for about 5 mins. Then it started and when I went to our dealership they plugged in the computer and its not giving any codes out. So they don't know no more than I do. Can someone help
