Sounds like it could be the immobilizer of the security system. With key on, does the security light go off after about 5 seconds? If it stays on, probably the security system.

Another possibility is a weak or failing fuel pump causing low fuel pressure.

Check the fuel delivery, first. It could be fuel pump or an obstruction. The best way is to start the car in park, then run over to the engine compartment and rev up the throttle. Keep idle higher than normal. If it wants to die, rev throttle higher to compensate. If it makes no difference, verify fuel pressure when engine dies. Usually ignition related wont even allow the car to start. Any service engine indication?

TPS throttle position sensor needs cleaning or replacment. or if you run the tank low on fuel you might be needing to replace fuel pump and filter.

It sounds like it may be time for a new fuel filter, try replacing the fuel filter first. The filter has a life of 30,000 miles or one year, if it has not been changed, good chance that it's the fuel filter. Take not that a dirty fuel filter will make your fuel pump run hotter and will shorten the life of the fuel pump which is the more costly repair of the two. Good luck and keep me posted, Be glad to help you get your car running 100% again.

OIL LEAK IN GASKETS IN 1999 CADILLAC TO PUT IN NEW GASKETS THE GARAGE WANTS $1500 GARAGE SAYS THE TOTAL COST IS THE TIME IT TAKES TO REOVE AND PUT IN NEW GASKETS

Could be.
It depends on how much they charge per hour and which gaskets are being replaced. Northstar engines are known to leak.
You can get a second opinion over the phone from another shop if you know which gaskets are involved.

Was told my carrier Bering on a 2004 Cadillac

If you are talking the crown wheel carrier bearings in a differential then the cost to repair is 4 bearings and a pinion seal kit. The cost will come in if the ring gear and pinion teeth have been damaged. I suggest a second opinion from an accredired transmission specialst that does differentials

Shifting

I recommend you replace the vehicle speed sensor. The part costs only $20, and is easy to do it yourself. This may not solve the problem, but it would cost much more to fully diagnose the problem.

Need to replace a fuel filter on a 1983 caddilac seville

Because of the age of the car, I'm not exactly sure where the filter is - for most Cadillacs it is on the fuel line under the car near the front on the inside side of the frame. However, that usually won't cause your problem - the fuel pump is probably ceased.
