In defence of yoru mechanic most times they do not have time or the shop owners dont aloow them to drive the vech long enough to duplicate the prolbem, I have found just letting a vech sit and running in my bay does produce the same effect as driving it does. But since you related the fuel gauge stops work when this happend i would first check to make sure the fule pump is not drawing to much amperage and shutting down. Then when it cools off it starts right back up.
sounds like your sending unit needs to be replaced cheap fix and if your oil pump losses all its pressure you will begin to hear knocking coming from your motor from the top under the heads.
The bale may need replaced or sometimes if you go to a transmission shop they will sell you the gear wheel that goes inside your transmision where the cable plugs in . Try that . Good luck
to fix this you have to remove the instrument cluster, it's not hard (4 screws) and take it apart. On the hidden part of the board, there is about 20 contact points (where the cluster connects) all you have to do is reheat the solder around those pins and add solder accordingly and you'll have an instrument cluster that's good as new
These sound electrical for sure. Almost sounds as if the computer is somehow getting a positive surge. Possibly a shorting wire somewhere.
I'd definitely take a look under the hood and see if there's any burn marks or corrosion (green/white powders) on the wiring. This could be a sign of a serious problem to come. Either way, if it's effecting that much, it's definitely shorting something.
daffodilnan, you could possibly check the fuse for the guage cluster, and the ECU. They could be loose and just vibrating on/off causing loss of guages. This should be located in the fuse box on the dash near the drivers door.
