I am getting a "check engine" light on my dash
I have a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz that tries to die when I accelerate from a traffic lite stop. I have to play with the gas pedal to keep the engine from dying.
The yellow "check engine" light flashes on the dash. Could this be from a dirty carburetor or bad gas since the car has been sitting for a long time? I just bought it. The seller had filled the gas tank and drove a few hundred miles to deliver it to me and had no problems. (Yes there still are good people out there)! Now the tank gauge shows low at 8 gallons remaining.I will go now and buy a can of gasoline treatment and add about 7 gallons of premium gasoline since who knows when someone might contact me with another possible fix. Thanks people.
