    Why is this listed as an Audi? The tach is electronic, you will need to send it out to a GM repair center, check with the dealer for a name in your area, the dealer does not do this repair, it is sublet..

I would check the transmission control unit sounds like a software problem. The dealer might be able to just do a reset Good luck.

SOURCE: honda accord 1996 v6 2.7 liter,rpm gage jump up and down

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

SOURCE: oil pressure gage

At idle, at operating temp is there any ticking from top end of engine? Are there any knocking noises brom bottom end?
If no noises, change oil and add some Marvel oil to clean out galleys. If that dosent work, change oil pressure sendingf unit. Also, if you have a mechanical oil pressure gauge, hook it up and take a direct reading. Oil pressure (in any vehicle) at idle should NEVER be less than 15psi. Generally in 4.0 jeep engines it's never less than 30, with a high reading at driving rpm of about 40-60! (but, you did not mention what engine you have)

SOURCE: 1.8T with cold start problem.

The engine temp sensor is located at the back of the engine above the gearbox. It is usually green with 4 wires if there is only one sensor, or 2 wires if there are 2 seperate sensors. make sure engine is cold, remove plug, then slide clip out and pull sensor free.

Check the gages by turning the key's to the run position and see if the gages work. If not check the fuses and then work your way to the wire harness. Good luck

2003 chevy trailblazer panel gages not working and ticking sound behind panel while engine is not on

First I'll ask, do all the dash lights come on when the ignition is turned on? If not, fix the ignition switch first, if they do come on then I'm afraid the stepper motors on your instrument cluster have gone haywire, there are several repair kits for these stepper motor malfunctions available pretty cheap

Engine rpm surges intermitently

Miles? Have you replaced ignition coils recently? Pretty good chance that they could be going bad. I would start by swapping all 8 coils and plugs and probably changing the valve cover gasket as well as those are known to go bad in the 2000-2003 LS

Replaced battery - RMP gage is reading 8 plus when car is not moving

There is a problem with the gauge cluster. There are little stepper motors that go bad. There is a place that sells them out of Michigan. 989-790-1911. You can either send them your gauge cluster or just buy the motor and have your electronics guy fix it.
The rpm gauge fails first because it moves the most. They will all stop working sooner or later.

I have a 2003 Lincoln LS and about two months ago it started shaking when i step on the gas and it slowly got more dramatic! now its completly lost power and its very loud and doesnt go past 10Mph and the...

First you stop driving a vehicle with those issues.

The shaking could be several things. The EGR Valve,if some slamming and banging,type symptoms,especially going up hills.

Loss of power could be the TPS Sensor and a bad COP Ignition Coil.

Very loud --What?

High RPM ,as you already know ,could be the trans slipping. Another in a long list of LS issues. That would be a bad Trans Solenoid Pack.

I have a 2004 LS and had all of them,happen.

You need to pull codes,before you start to troubleshoot thoses items.
I would imagine your driving around with the MIL Light ,light on the dash?

Get codes,give them to me, I'll help you out. Do not drive it, untill it is properly repaired. The LS is a very,very complicated high tech vehicle.
