1997 Cadillac Eldorado ETC - Engine Stuttering/Stalling
Hi all,
I recently bought this car (a couple months ago) with about around 160,000 km on the clock. I've had no problems with it up until lately since the engine has been stuttering at low RPM followed by dying completely. If I keep the RPM over about 1,200, the problem isn't really pronounced, but it does stutter once in a while. It always starts right up after stalling with no hesitation. Sometimes the problem doesn't happen at all (it tends to happen within the first half hour of driving, but it's getting worse).
I've been told it could be a vacuum leak. I also did some research and found it could be a dirty throttle body or potentially a bad connection or faulty crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor. The latter two I've been led to believe after checking the codes.
PCM P0372 History - Timing Reference High Resolution Signal 'A' Too Few Pulses
PCM P0603 History - Internal Control Module Keep Alive Memory
PCM P1377 History - Ignition Control Module Cam Ref Pulse To 4X Ref Pulse Incorrect
PCM P1599 History - Near Stall Detected
IPC B1552 History - Keep Alive Memory
ACM B1348 Current - A/C Compressor OFF and Low Refrigerant
PZM B1552 History
RFA B2560 History
MSM B2120 History
MSM B1656 History
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.
