Cadillac Repair: stalling problem, crankshaft sensor, volt ohm meter

Question
QUESTION: I have a 96 deville with northstar engine. I'm having a stalling problem....when i pull the codes i noly get p1599 which is "stall or near stall detected" I did all the things that might cause a stall like cleaned my throttle body,egr valve,iac valve. Am i missing something else that i need to check?. If there was a problem wrong with crankshaft sensor it would throw a code. mechanic told me that. all im getting is the p1599 stall code nothing else.

ANSWER: I would be looking at more of a possible CAMSHAFT signal rather than a CRANKSHAFT sensor fault as if it was crankshaft sensor related it would tend to be a hard to start problem rather than a stumble/miss problem.

Have you made any repairs or had any repairs performed on this vehicle within the last 3 months ?. If so, What kind of repairs were made ?.

QUESTION: i asked earlier bout the 96 deville stalling problem. No i havent had any repairs done xcept for the fuel pump a year ago. when it stalls i do hear the fuel pump shut down and car stalls. but after a min or 2 car starts right up and dies again after a couple mins. could it be a fuel pump problem again? i mean a mechanic told me that either the fuel pump is gonna work or its not. not keep shutting down and running again. dont know if thats true or not.

ANSWER: You stated that AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO THE ENGINE WILL START ?.

As soon as the car stalls can't you immediately restart it ?. If NOT, WHY ?.

Answer
Your problem is going to be pretty simple to diagnose by performing a few simple test procedures using a volt/ohm meter. I can provide you with the pictures and directives that you will need to diagnose and fix this problem.
