Improper Timing and carburetor adjustment are 2 causes of what they called "run on" at one time. Both very easy to adjust.

My cadillac sedan deville motor is locked how do i unlock it

It would depend on what failed.
Timing chain, crank bearing, piston, etc.
Unless one of the accessories locked up and the belt is the only thing holding it, you would probably have to take the engine apart to fix it.
Once in a while the alternator or water pump will seize up and the belt will keep the crank from turning.

Check the fluid.Change the fluid and filter and see if it gets better.If it does then I would recommend a fluid transfer.This will transfer the old fluid and add new fluid.Hope this helps.Good luck.

88 deville wont shift into 3rd gear,im wondering if it is the pressure switch.

Possibly in a "Safe" or "Limp home" mode. If so, have a look at the wiring harness on the transmission. I'll bet that the seal around the lid on it is failing. Clean the harness up, and reseal the lid on. If this does not fix it, have a mechanic look at the shifter linkage.

Sounds like the battery is weak or the alternator isn't providing enough amps to keep the engine running and power the lights at the same time.
