Intermittent Spark
Asked by dubbleya Sep 16, 2011 at 02:27 PM about the 1991 Cadillac Eldorado Base Coupe
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 91 Eldorado with the 4.9 motor. It cuts out randomly while driving and will not start back up. After towing it back to the house, it starts up a day or two later. I have checked the fuel system and it checks out. When it doesn't run, there is no spark at the plug. I have checked the coil, wiring, ignition module and hall sensor in the distributor and they check out. It seems that whenever I try to diagnose the ignition, the car starts and all the components are working correctly . Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution?

Check your battery for a dead cell. If it doesn't maintain enough amperage for the computer, it'll shut down the car.

I keep popping a few fuses in my 1996 Caddi El Dorado. Then the engine dies. My mechanic thinks its the fuel pump that is having intermittent issues. How difficult would it be to replace the fuel pump in this caddi ? thanks 1 answer
Drives perfectly fine and then "pooof", engine dies and comes to a halt. Two hours later, starts right up and then the same thing is happening. Is my fuel pump "shorting out" ?
