Hi. I am trying to get my Cadillac through state inspection. My check engine light is on and I have been to several mechanics. The first put (1) used coil in the car, which helped a little with some bad shaking (at stand still) and slow acceleration up hill. I stop using him, because my car wouldn't start after he was finished with it. The second mechanic I took it to, got the car started ( first dummy took wires out of my car ! ), and then this mechanic claimed the car was misfiring. So he claimed he fixed an antifreeze leak?, but the check engine light is still on. Now he says it needed a new coil. So I brung the car back. Then he said it needs another coil in additiion to the other before he started working on the car, and said if that didn't work , something about the transmission would have to be fixed. So I got my car from him. Here is the AutoZone diagnostics; Catalyst efficiency low bank 1;Random cylinder misfire detected; POM or PVM ? solenoid electrical fault. The car still shakes sometimes and it does still get some slow acceration up hill. Other mechanics can only guess to say fuel injector, piston rings , head gasket problems over the phone. Oh yeah and my A/C doesn't work if thats any help. Please someone that knows about Cadillacs please help me.
