"One of GM's Caddy Division's best decisions"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Every so often within the last 50000 miles, the car will not start. I climb in, turn the key, the engine turns over and sounds like it will start, but it doesn't. I try it again, and the same thing happens; it sounds like it will start (turns over and fires), but it doesn't. Can anyone out there help me?

General comments?

The car rides well, corners like a sedan.

The interior is spacious and clean. The leather still looks new.

The steering wheel is beginning to show signs of normal wear on the leather.

There was a small blister that appeared on the dash directly in from of the driver that has grown. The leather (vinyl) has begun to peal and is the size of a quarter.

The problem is the Canuter valve... Ask your mechanic.

I have a 99 Cadillac and have owned it for approx 2 years now. I would like to know where I could find this canute valve at? And is anyone else getting vibrations when trying to come to a complete stop? There's a lot of shaking and vibrating generally when going from 45-50 to a complete stop. I am really stumped, I read the Yukon Denali has this problem and it was the slip yoke? Does the caddy have one? Please help!
