Some Cadillac Eldorado owners report experiencing erratic engine idle speed fluctuations, which may be attributed to several potential causes. Vacuum leaks are commonly identified as a source of RPM fluctuation at idle, affecting the engine's ability to measure air intake accurately. Additionally, issues with the idle speed actuator, which can fail and trigger a P027 code, may also contribute to this problem. Furthermore, malfunctioning throttle position sensors (TPS) can lead to erratic idle speeds, especially if the base idle is incorrectly adjusted. To address these issues, owners are advised to check for vacuum leaks, inspect the idle speed actuator, and verify TPS readings. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis is recommended to stabilize the engine idle speed effectively.
