i have a 92 el dorado 4.9L V8. and basicly it turns over and starts
only if it is not touched for like 6 hours. and when i do get it
started i put it in gear and it dies. the one time i did get it to
drive it stalled in the middle of the street. also when i attempted to
start it there was no spark on my distriburator cap. and if i keep
attempting to start it it floods. and when it did start (about a week
ago) if i let it warm up and rev the engine while i was in park i
could usually get it to drive a little. but once i slowed down below
10 mph or came to a stop the engine stall again. it has about 115,000
mile on it. and i didnt try to start the car for like 3 or 4 days as
soon as i start it it stalls almost immediately or when it goes in
gear it stalls. can some one help me please?? maybe the fuel filter?
hopefully! $$

Could be the ignition module. Before you go any further pull the codes
from the computer. Turn the key to ON then simultaneously hold down
OFF and WARMER on the climate control. Any stored codes, both history
and current will come up on the dash display. When PCM? comes up,
you're done. Post the codes here and we'll try to figure something
out.
FWIW
YMMV

so the following codes say history after them:
E026
E030
E052
E053
E061
E070
E091
E098
R033

i also get E012 current
No IPC codes
No ACP codes. thank you for the help. hope to hear from you soon.

Let's forget the history codes for now and work with current. E012
refers to a lack of a reference signal from the ignition control
module. I'd remove it and have it tested. Many parts stores can do
this. It is that crescent shaped flat part about 1/4" thick and 3"
long that you will see after removing the distributor cap. Be careful
removing the connectors. They will be very brittle after 14 years.
Also inspect the wires going to it for fraying that could cause a
short.

Try checking your vehicle's spark plug wires and ignition. There are lots of cases accounted same as yours, that were solved by checking on this components. My ride experienced that kind of problem too, and it was a faulty Cadillac SRX ignition coil. So I immediately ran to my mechanic.
