This car stalls awhile driving, if while you are coasting to the side of the road, you push it in neutral, it will start again, some times it stall like out of fuel, other times it bucks. This happens mostly in very warm weather, and hot humid weather. Second problem is that some times not all times, if I go to my doctors, park, get finished that the doctors, it won't start, if I open the hood to check the battery cables they are tight and clean, while the hood is open for about 10 minutes I try it again, it starts, someone told me it was the neutral switch. Could that be both problems. The shift lever is not in the right place. Please help me, I am in a wheel chair and can not stand to long. Have had some mechanical knowledge, but not on cars with computer controls. One book I have says there is a cam position sensor. The nearest part supply says there isn't one listed.I would give a donation, but I live on a very limited income, honestly, I do.

I am not sure if this will help but. IN may I obtained my grandmothers 91 Cadillac Deville. In driving it from Ohio to Florida I had the same problems. I would drive it and would not want to start again. I have replaced the fuel filter first which seemed to help for for about a week. Then it continued to stall and sputter as if not getting gas. So next was the fuel pump, been ok since then, I hope this helps, It was hard to pinpoint what my issues where at the time, I tried everything, but these are what fixed my issues.

Good luck
