centsless47 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 No codes, tuned up less than 15,000 miles ago, have not checked fuel pressure yet. Runs perfect after it starts. No starting problem after initial start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think BodybyFisher has the suggestion most likely to solve the problem first, check for low fuel pressure. This is a problem with the fuel pump or fuel filter, not the FPR. If the fuel pressure is at least 42 psi, the next thing to look at is the plugs and wires. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.
