PLEASE HELP! electrical problem I started up my car the other day, and the tach, temp, and fuel gauges do not work. Also the check gauges, service vehicle, and air bag lights came on, The car does not want to idle either. I checked the fuses, and nothing seems loose. If anyone knows what this could be please let me know. Thanks!

Whenever I do major maintenance I check all ground, clean my batter connections, fuses, and relays. I had a problem once with my car dying when I was driving and I let it sit until I could get to it after a week. I turned out that my fuse box was dirty. I removed all fuses and sprayed some electrical cleaner in the fuse box and let it sit for a good amount of time while it dried. All the dirt wasn't letting one of my fuses get a good connection. Also if you've done any installs or have any wires spliced/tapped check to make sure they aren't damaged.

I reset the pcm, I took it around the block and every thing worked. Then a few hours later i went to try again, and same thing. Nothing worked, this time it wouldent even start so i'm thinking maybe the pcm could possibly be bad.
