1997 Cadillac Deville has problems with fuel rail as well as the fuel pump. The consumer took the vehicle to dealer to have the recall performed. The consumer stopped smelling gas for awhile, but the problem seems to have resurfaced. The vehicle stalled, back fired and there was a loss of rpms. Over the years 2 fuel pumps have been replaced in an attempt to correct the problem and on 5 occasions the vehicle had to be towed.
