  • confusing problem

    this is very perplexing. yesterday my car was running strong. this morning when i started her up, she for the lack of a better term "hiccuped". she started fine, then for just a sec it seemed like she was cut off, then came back. everything seemed fine, but i noticed that my digital tripomiter had went to 0.0 miles and i didnt clear it. the first time i switched off and restarted she did it again, only it cut off and on 2-3 times before running normal again. i had buisness that i had to do so i went about my day and things were fine, for a while. my digital readout cleared twice more and when i was leaving wally world for home she started up crazy again, i noticed that the gauges were all over the place while this was happening. the only thing that was different about this morning and yesterday was the temp outside was about 10 degrees, ive never drove her in below freezing weqther before. i went to the local parts store to have the computer read, just in case. no trouble codes at all, everything read fine. anyone have any ideas???

    Gauges will go haywire when there's low battery voltage. It could have just been caused by the cold, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the battery and alternator tested. Also, check your terminals for corrosion. Don't want to have it leave you sit somewhere.

        Yes it's definitly the battery. I had the exact same problem about 5 months ago. A new battery made everything better.
