SOURCE: cadillac seville sls '97 complete engine removal

the best way to do is dropping the engine and the transmission together with the sub frame
disconnect the rack and pinion, struts and brake lines
then you can separate the engine from the transmission once it's out.

SOURCE: 2004 Cadillac CTS w/ 3.6. Engine is missing at

There should be a code stored to tell you what cylinder is missing. Then most likely you have an injector issue or you have a vacuum leak near that cylinder or if you have a EGR valve it could be stuck a little open.

Also ignition module or coil depending on how this car is set up could be a problem.

If none of this solves your problem then the only other options are your going to have to get it diagnosed because you will need tools to check compression for valve or head gasket issues..

Or if your lucky an injector service might clean them up and help the worst one from causing a misfire if they recommend a service first.

MY 94 CADILLAC SEVILLE SLS IS IDLEING HIGH. I JUST REPLACED THE STARTER PUT IT BACK TOGETHER THE STARTER IS WORKING NOW BUT NOW MY CAR IS IDLE IS HIGH, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOWER THE IDLE CAN YOU HELP

I am assuming a Northstar engine. Car idle is in no way connected to the starter - you have probably disturbed something else nearby. Since the starter is close to the throttle body, check the TPS, IAC motor and for a sticking throttle linkage - they all can cause idling problems. By the way, there is no user idle adjustment - all controlled by the engine computer.

Why cadillac will not idle

So are you saying you are only able to crank it and when you let off the key it dies? Or are you saying it will crank, stay on, then die? Next, what model and engine is it?

I have a 2005 Cadillac deville and the trans hot idle engine has been coming on. I then discovered that the high pressure hose to the transmission is leaking badly. The car will not shift past first gear....

Check transmission fluid level first. How long since it's been changed? Make sure to use owners manual to check correctly. Usually hot, idle, run through gears first. If low, could cause all those conditions.

When the car says transmission is hot idle engine what does that mean

just what you said. The temp sensor in the trans is telling the computer the trans fluid is hot and to stop driving.
If the fluid is not hot the sensor could be faulty.
