can't say whats wrong.

You can pull the trouble codes by using the climate control panel. With the ignition in the run position and the engine off, turn the climate control system off. Then press and hold the off and warmer buttons on the climate control panel. The two digit trouble codes will be displayed on the climate control panel beginning with 12. The number 12 is just telling you that you are in diagnostics mode. The codes will be displayed in order, lowest to highest then the number 12 will come up again. When you get the codes post them here and we can help further. In the meantime, you definitely need to get another mechanic! One who is familiar with OBD I era Cadillacs!! Hope that helps! Jim
change the fuel filter and see if there is a improvement.
