Brian in AZ Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I have my car down at the local caddi dealer, (LEGENDS CADILLAC), and here's the ghost...no warning, pulled in from the freeway, and my brakes werent doing the trick...my idle was about 1500 w the car in gear, which is not fun at the stop lights! So I pull in at home and put it in neutral, and it revs WAY up around 3000 rpm. Of course, the next day, I take it to the shop and my car races again at startup, but after being on the road a minute, service eng lite comes on and the problem stopped. Figures. Then it did it again, I'm thinking it's an electrical problem w Idle air control valving, not sure the layout of this car's idle control tho...I was afriad it was air entering past eh intake from a bad head or something, but it's intermittant, and came from out of nowhere, so Physical engine damage is probably not the case. Any help? I have an inherent distrust of dealerships..you guys always help me out tho!! Thanks! Oh, and I have 126K on the car, if that helps? !

Dan Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm not sure if your 95 has one, but I would check the ISC motor. Or maybe the dealer forgot to connect a vaccuum line somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loucar1 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Take it back to the dealer!!! If the problem started after you left the shop, It must be related to what was done Lou 94 Seville STS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I had the same intermittant problem at the beginning of this month. 3000 N idle 1500 D idle (idles at 70km/h on the highway! lol) Occasional SES. Took it in. New idle control motor $200 installed. Works great now -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
