First thing you need to do is check for codes.

Do you know how to check for codes?, you do not need a code scanner, your car has the ability to give you the codes,

go to caddyinfo, go to how to, go to DTC codes and follow the directions for your year and model, have a pencil and paper ready and write down what you see, if you miss one do it again

This is not likely a fuel pump, as a fuel pump would act up all the time, but yes, check your fuel pressure. Buy a gage at sears and attach it to the fuel rail's schrader valve and report the pressures to us at KEY ON engine off, and with it idling

Yoiur problem sounds more like a bad crank sensor but check for codes

It could also be a dirty throttle body and IAC valve, when did you clean your throttle body, throttle plate and IAC valve last?

sounds like it needs alot of cleaning and tuneup parts along with some new sensors or idle control. Are you capable of doing all this maintenance? Your car is pretty old and needs alot of maintenance to be in top shape. If you cannot do everything yourself it is going to cost alot of money to maintain a cadillac through repair shop bills. Things like plugs, wires, filters, cleaning sensors and parts, replacing sensors all over the car, etc etc it all needs to be done, a car cant just keep going forever without maintenance.

i takes care of my caddy..i jus had a tune up done on the car,i never knew about cleaning throttle..that sound like something u do on a 50-80 model car..im not the kinda guy who start doing stuff on my car and aint nothing wrong with it..if its not broke dont fix it..i have 5 other cars to deal with..only a woman does driving and never do maintence..they just put gas in it and go...if i wasnt taking care of my caddy i wouldnt be on here going thru hassles trying to see whats wrong with it and asking questions wouldnt u say...bottom line i love all my cars and love my caddy more then all of them..so lets not get on the subject of not taking care of it buddy stick to the subject i post...thank u

<li>P1599 - Engine Stall or Near Stall Detected

Not sure about IP1910, but B1910 - Generator L-Terminal Open Circuit

Check your Fuel Pressure Regulat also, it sounds like you are having a warmed up start problem from this

CRANKS FINE,DRIVE FOR 30MINS,DIES OUT,8 ATTEMPTS TO START,AFTER A DAY OF SITTING IT CRANKS FINE

Clean your throttle body, and IAC, that may be the cause of your stalling, but check the fuel pressure regulator also
