1999 Cadillac DeVille Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 12, 2011

My 1999 cadillac deville check engine light keeps coming on. We got the code that said it had to do with the fuel system so we changed the gas cap 1st soon after the light came back on so we checked code again it said the same thing so we changed the fuel pump about a month ago and today the light came back on. The car doesnt run rough or accelerate rough when the light is on but I have noticed that sometimes when I start it i have to turn the key more than once and when its started and in gear but standing still i feel a little hesitation but once I start driving it drives perfect. I'm thinking some sort of vacum leak? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

My check engine and check fuel cap light keep coming on after i changed the gas cap twice and reset the light it came back on what could this be. I drive a 06 lincoln navigator

You need to diagnose any codes you get
& smoke test the evap system, to find a
problem

Seldom does throwing on parts with a name similar
to a code work

Codes have nothing to do with installing parts

Clearing codes, clears all data needed to diagnose
the failed system & the evap system only runs every few
days,so you done as far as codes helping

Service engine light stays changed gas cap done smoke test replaced oxygen sensor

Code 449 is for a defective vent valve solenoid. The engine computer can not open or close the valve or can not tell if the valve is operating.
The valve/solenoid would need to be tested and you will probably need a shop manual to get the testing procedure.

Hi! My 1999 Cadillac Deville for about 2 weeks started messaging low refrig-ac-off. Check engine light on!.

When you change your oil is up to you,you set the
months & miles you go. Any car with a reminder
for oil is just a gadget

You were told that your low on a/c refrigerant by the
message

Now the check light related or not has to be addressed,
by checking for codes & diagnosing the effected system

Your a/c system needs repair,not added to, only to leak out
& polute the atmosphere

My 2001 cadillac deville keeps giving me dtc code system to lean

Anytime I get a too lean DTC I first change the fuel filter if it hasn't been changed in awhile. You'd be surprised how many times this has helped.

Good Luck with it.
