While not a Cadillac I ran into that with my old 87 Saab 900 Turbo.    Ended up that it was a burnt valve.

Youre most likely going to have to have a computer-aided fuel-injection alaysis done to find out whats causing your hard starting problem. Any time you have to press the accelerator on a FI engine to get it to start, theres a problem with it.

Overfueling on start is usually caused by an open coolant temperature sensor circuit. You will need to enter into diagnostics to monitor the circuit, and check for fault codes.

 This procedure is outlined in the shop manual, where code description and diagnosis can be found.
