Hello I have a 97 Cadillac Seville that I am

Hello I have a 97 Cadillac Seville that I am trying to get going again. The on board error codes P0300,0108,0603,1599. My code reader picks up P0301. She has to be hit with starting fluid to start cold, hard to start after being warmed up for a few minutes, and won't start until it cools down after it has been driven until it is completely warmed up. If I push down the accelerator past 1/2 quickly the engine almost dies(acts as though starved for fuel) and while idling it will slowly flood until it dies on restart the engine speeds up like it was overloaded with fuel for just a minute or two and then the cycle starts over with the smell of unburned fuel coming out of the exhaust. It will loose power while driving, backfire loudly, and then drive ok for another hour or two.Since purchasing the car it has lost a huge part of it fuel milage 15 to 20%. Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks Rich

Being that there are misfire codes, (300 series P codes), and it's flooding I would put a fuel pressure gauge on it and try to check the injectors and the fuel pressure regulator for leakage. If the vehicle has sat for a while, 1 or more of the injectors may have stuck open. If the fuel pressure is way to high it can cause the pressure regulator to leak. See if that helps.

I Have A Seville 1990, When That Happen To Me I Got The Inginion
Replaced Problem Solved. What Is Happening Is Your Key Has A Chip And That Chip Is A Resister And When The Valve Is Not Sented To The Computer It Disengages the Fuel Pump And Than Tells You To Wait. Soon All That Will Happen Is You Will Get The Wait 3 Mins And It Will Never Start, A Good Locksmith Can Take Care Of This For You And That Will Save You Some Money. Cause If You Go To The Dealer Ouch They Will Hit You Up. But I Asure This Is How It Will Happen Cause It Is How It Happen To Me
And Sorry There Is No By Passing The Computer

you need a new motor as there is no strain of weight when going down but the full weight of window when trying to go up is too much for the motor to handle.......the motor is worn out

I need to take my 96 cadillac seville out of limp in mode. Can I do it without taking it to a shop?

If its an OBDII system try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes, then reconnect. The computer should reset and all codes except for code 12 will be deleted, unless the problem still exist, in which case soon as it detects the problem again, it will set the same code again.

How to fix idle problem on cadillac 2001 sts Seville

When I purchased my brand new 2002 Cadillac SLS Seville, I had a problem with the ideling and also the car would lurch forward every time I put it in drive. I had the dealer replace the idiling chip and it fixed my idleing and lurching problem. You could try this and see if it fixes your problem, or check for recalls with this problem.

If your car stalls while ideling - then check the crank sensor.

It is also good if you purchase a scanner and check which codes are registered by the on-board computer and this could save you some money trying to determine the problem.

Hope this helps.
