Cadillac Repair: 1994 Cadillac Northstar engine stuttering and stalling., cadillac northstar, serial data link


Question
QUESTION: I have a 1994 Cadillac deville Concourse, It has the 4.6 northstar engine. It started out by slightly stuttering while driving at slow speeds, high speeds it ran well as well as during acceleration. Recently it started to start up and die frequently, I changed the MAP sensor plugs, wires, which helped, then it started again. Everything I read leans to an air intake leak. Can you give me any clues to what you think it may be. Thanks Greg
