I have a 1991 Cadillac Sevile w/ 183000 mi. I've changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and ff all recently. I recently filled the tank up, and the car started acting up. It hardly has any power(I have to tramp the pedal to the floor to make it up a hill) and of course the gas Mileage has went down to almost zero. I changed the fuel filter again, put some injector cleaner in it (along with some dry gas) and refilled the tank. Same result. Almost no power. When I step on the gas, it basically has "no go". I have 3 engine codes: Throttle body needs cleaning, interrmittent map, and throttle body int (?) I had this same loss of power problem a few months ago, then I gave it a tuneup and it all went away till now. It does need a new muffler (hole in it) but I didn't think this would cause it since the muffler problem has been ongoing. Oh, one more point: the fuel filter I had recently changed came out not blocked, but a rusty color fuel from it. Thanks for the help!

I ran the code scan on my 1991 Cadillac Seville. The codes that came up were:

E085 Current B411 History
B120 Current B448 History
B121 History R024 History
B122 History R033 History
B410 History

I'm pretty sure the E085 is Throttle Body needs servicing (or something like that?) Could a bad Throttle Position Sensor be causing this? From what I've read, it very well could be. Thanks for the assistance!
