the best advice i can give you right now is dont replace anything , have the codes read , this can be done for free at any autozone, but they cannot diagnose the problem , if you can do that we can help you better , just dont want to see you throw away good money

thanks

Suggested Repair

Do not replace more parts yet. Have the trouble codes read for free at an auto parts store such as AutoZone, then use those codes for diagnosis.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1991 Cadillac Eldorado with about 120,000 miles reports the service engine light, high revving on start followed by stalling, a no-fuel sensation, and a speedometer that once froze at zero. A fuel filter, spark plugs, and wires were already replaced and helped only briefly. The expert advised against replacing more parts until the codes are read, noting a free code read at AutoZone can help but is not a full diagnosis.
