all guage lights flash/temp stops working
Wednesday, March 28, 2007 5:01 PM
yes i searched, and didnt find a similar situation, so now the problem:

the past few times i drive my car a few miles, the CEL, check guages, service engine wrench, airbag, anti theft, all flash on for about 3 seconds, then go off, the temp guage stops working and drops to cold while all other guages work fine, then after 3 seconds the guage goes back 195 like it usually runs. this just started happening, It doesnt effect the way the car runs, but does bother me a bit, I would asume that its telling me the temp guage is about to go, but thats probly my imagination. I have also been driving the past week and have the anti-theft light and service will flash on and then go away, this happend twice in the past 2 weeks, but the car still runs great. any ideas????

First of all I would check youre battery connections on youre battery, Clean them up, Also inspect battery terminals for corriosion or splits in the teminals, Could have a problem with youre ignition system coil packs, Possibly a problem with a ground connection. Also youre ECU could be failing.


Good Luck.

thanks, on sunday I will checking all my grounds. i just replaced the ignition coil packs last week. and ever since the turbo came off and I went back to N/A the car has acted wierd, i was told the ECU might be going out as well. hopefully its the ground though
