Well, that little piece of info puts a different face on it.
 
Looks like you have a total electrical failure. Which could be a very discharged battery - except the car would not restart.
 
Sounds more like there is a battery cable failure - an intermedent open in one of the cables.
 
Clean the cable attachments. Retighten them down securely. See if you can get to the ground cable where it grounds to the motor (usually) and see that this ground is clean and tight. Look closely at the cable ends at the battery. Acid could have gotten down inside the cables, under the insulation, and literally eatten the cables apart.
 
Or, some kind of bad failure in the main fuse box. If the thing comes and goes, it's going to be tough to find the problem until it totally fails.
 
Anyway, it sounds electrical. Where, exactly, ????

Hi I have a 2003 Cadillac Deville Dts. and since Nov 2007 it has been stalling. It seems to happend 1 evey three-four weeks. Then if i leave it off for a while it will turn back on wiht no problem. Or if I turn it off open all doors and let itslef reset it will start. It is soooo weird. I have taken it to Cadillac and they don't know whats wrong. I have already changed out the Cam sensors and and the torque converter but it is still happening. The guys at the dealer our clueless and say the car is perfect. NO IT'S NOT if that was the case it wouldnt turn off .. Please someone HELP !!!! I have a baby and I am scared this might happen while i'm driving. Luckily so far its only when I get in my car and turn it on.
 
Oh yeah and now it's leaking oil ..AHHHHH !!
  I've only had the car 1 1/2 and it has 75000 FYI.

I have a deville, it wont start, i have checked into many possibilities, like checking for spark, (there is) New fuel pump, filter, and strainer, put new alternator in, new battary, so now i am looking into the fuel being the issue at hand. There is fuel going into the fuel rails, when they are compressed fuel is shooting out, so where it goes after there may be the problem? That i dont know. When there is fuel put directly into the throttle body, it will start up, then die when there is no more fuel in there, but when turning it over i get nothing along with that, we took the throttle body off, and under there are two pipe like things that go strait up under there, one of them are clean and have no grime or anything, the other however has sludge like stuff inside it,and when i attempt to start it that stuff sprays out, I dont know much about cars so im hoping someone will come across this and have an answer, I have ran outta things that people tell me it could be that its not...so im at a stand still and really would appreciate some advice...besides getting rid of it, ive put too much into it to want to do that. Please someone help!!!

Crank Position Sensors. There are two of them, replace them both. If it truly is water related, the connectors for the sensors might have a problem.
