My 1995 cadillac eldorado acts weired when im driving and push on gas it wants to die and as soon as i let off the gas it kicks in and goes it just started doing this a couple of weeks ago.

Could be a bad TPS - throttle position sensor , Videos on you tube on testing TPS sensor . In fact i would say that it is a real good possibility the TPS is bad .

Battery keeps running down on 96 cadillac elderado

if battery keeps running down. check the voltage across the batery posts while car is off.should be around 12.5 to13 volts. then with tester hooked up to battery, start the car. if alternator is ok, it while read about 14 volts give or take a few volts. if the gharging is low its a bad alternator or the drive belt.

My 2005 ford explorer xlt check charging system light keeps coming on. I just recently within 60 days ago replaced the alt AND the battery. Thought that solved the problem then about 2 weeks later it came...

You need to check the out put of the alternator. In general the alternator should put out 13.5 to 14.5 volts. I would say go to where you bought the alternator and have them check the voltage. If check engine light is on you should have a code get them to check the code. Most auto part stores where I live will check your code for free.

Why did my lights go down and battery volts drop?

First put your battery on a slow charge 6-8 hrs.then check the batteries voltage it should have at least 12-12.8 volts if it does'nt then you need a new battery.If has 12 volts after its charged and goes dead after its installed in the car then you need a new alternato.

(1995 Cadillac Eldorado) - Service Engine Soon light is on.

If this problem just started I would try to get a jump on it. It will be easier to track down if the light just started coming on. Otherwise other problems may come into play and the mechanic will need longer to sort them out. At around 70.00hr.Cheapest fix is to try and drop in a set of plugs. Good luck.
