car wont idle, gauges go all wonky.. when i turn the ignition nothing happens except the tach and speedo needles go all wonky and i hear this funny buzing sound and beeping sounds.. the security light comes on too.
the keyless entry doesnt work either. its sounds like somethings wrong with the computer.
also when i did finalyl get it started, it wouldnt idle. id have to hold the throttle with my foot. and then when it did finally start to idle. it idled ridiculously low.. like 600 rpms. after like 10 mins everything went back to normal
could my starter be going? how about the alternator. battery is fine.
i removed the egr not too long ago, but i have hptners so i tuned it out.
this happend yesterday too.

yeah its the original battery. the termiinals and the cables are tightened down pretty good.
im gonna have the charging system checked out tommorw.
but why would the car not idle? i put in an ls6 intake not too long ago...
