One bad spark plug will give you a miss. 8 bad spark plugs could cause your symptoms, but I would be checking fuel pressure, and throttle position sensor signals. If all your sparkplugs were bad it would run lousy all the time, not just when you hit the gas. Also, if you are going to change the plugs, change the plug wires as well.

I have a 95 Cadillac DeVille 4.9 V8 not the Northstar I was driving it and it started stalling let off the gas push the gas back it did nothing it didn't die or anything it was still on but it didn't idle...

When the engine is turning without ignition but is injecting fuel, that fuel and air is pumped through the engine into the exhaust where it will build up until sooner or later it will ignite with explosive force.

This is what happens when there is a bad misfire due to an ignition fault.

I suggest you check your spark plugs and ensure there is a powerful spark available at each spark plug.

95 cadillac 4.6 backfires why

Check your timming specs. If OK go to fuel filter, spark plugs and vacume hoses.

I HAVE MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #1 ITS A 2001 CADILLAC SLS! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I would start by replacing the spark plugs. Could also possibly have a bad spark plug wire and/ or a bad coil. Another possibility is a bad fuel injector, but most likely cause is plugs.

Starts fine then stalls after a couple seconds.

its could be the fuel pump, if its going bad then it could be causing stall and a gas hose could be bad to and is only allowing a little gas to motor causing it to stall also

My 95 sls seems to hesitate when I hit this gas at low speeds. It eventually will catch up, but will make a sound like a bad carborateur. I've thought of changing the spark plugs, but someone else...

Try this,after dark ,open the hood, spray the plug wires with windex,(not just water) start the engine and look for the sparks along the wires,if you see, any replace the wires.chances are it will look like the 4th of july.

Why is 95 Seville sls stalling and dying while driving?

First question: When was last "healthy" tune up? Plugs, plug wires, ALL filters especially FUEL filter? I'd start there, giving yourself a good base/ "ground zero" starting point. 90% of stalling issues are maintenance related. If it continues after tune up, run a good fuel system cleaner through it, then have a good local parts store IE: Advance, Autozone, etc... do a FREE OBII (fault scan) that will pull all faults computer has logged,
