Try switching coils and see if problem follows coil. Same with plug wires, try switching wires.

SOURCE: how do i fix my 2001 cadillac catera idle problem

The problems you are describing indicate to me that you likely need to replace the coil pack that runs from the spark plugs ,and the plug wires end up at it.It also may be the spark plug wires,get a water bottle and spray the wires after dark and if you get a light show from them then replace them,if not,replace the coil pack.

SOURCE: miss fire cylinder 1 & 6 on a 4 liter enginge

Did the engine light go on, and you got a miss-fire code? If so, 1st check spark plugs (which u did), then plug wires, if that's not it, the injectors would be next. Let me know how u make out

SOURCE: My 1998 Buick LeSabre has a misfire on cylinder

Hi, I would check for a vacume leak around your intake manifold #1 cylinder runner. You can check by using a stethescope with a small piece of brake line in the end of the hose or spraying propane around the intake. If you hit a vacume leak the RPM will drop. Vacume leakes normaly cause a higher RPM at idle.

Where is the Vapor Canister Purge Valve located on a 1999 cadillac catera

My 99 Deville has purge valve right on top of engine (Northstar) just rearward of throttle body. Looks like a black almost round cylinder the size of a roll of quarters with a wire connector out the back. Easy to remove and replace, and a common part to fail and set emission code.
If you are sure it's bad, buy one and you should be able to find the old one by looking at the new part.

1999.cadillac code po300

The link below will take you to a page that will describe all the possibilities for your code. Unfortunately, P0300 is a generic code indicating a misfire but without a cylinder number (typical codes would be P0302 with 2 indicating the cylinder number causing the fault) you can't rule out any of the cylinders or causes so diagnosing the problem is basically trial and error.

I have a 1999 cadillac catera and there is water in my oil.

There are a couple of possibilities here.

Head gasket is leaking or

Engine oil cooler is leaking.

Both are expensive and quite a bit of work.

If you are planning on fixing the problem yourself, you will want to buy the haynes manual for your vehicle.

Even if you are not a mechanic, it is worth buying the manual for your vehicle. It has a lot of reference material and sometimes it will help your mechanic to fix your vehicle faster.

If you need more help, post a comment.

Thanks,

Tim
