Look at the plug. Is it full of oil? If so you have an oil ring problrm on that cylinder. More likely though you have an ignition problem on that cylinder. Check dist cap, rotor, and plug wire. If that fails, check compression in affected cylinder.

The gauge needle goes up
If you are talking about the temp gauge, this could be due to an airlock in the cooling system, a blocked radiator, a work water pump or even a faulty gauge. You may also find that the voltage regulator (inside the instrument cluster) is faulty and giving a higher voltage to the gauges then required. This can also cause the gauge to read higher then normal.
Have these items checked by a qualified person.

Probably time for a salvage engine swap after about 250,000 miles.
Having it rebuilt is an option because as long as you have not damaged the crankshaft, it should not cost more then $2000 to have it rebuilt to as good as new, by a reasonable shop.
But avoid dealers if possible.
Japanese engines with low miles are very inexpensive however, because of the high tax on cars over 5 years old in Japan.
When ever i put gas
Newer cars can have the check engine light come on if the cap isn't on right or sealed properly. Start by getting a new gas cap. NAPA or most other parts stores would be able to get you exactly what you need.
Noise coming from engine, i
If premium is recommended then noise from the engine is very likely "knock." This can permanently damage the motor if it hasn't already.
You should siphon out the regular fuel and FILL it with premium of the highest octane you have available to you. Then top it off with a product called Chemtool B12 by Berryman.

If you haven't changed it in years it would be good to go ahead and do, it will likely save you many headaches down the road.
If you are unable to do it real soon and you haven't checked your transmission fluid level in a while, I would make sure it isn't running low. generally low fliud level can cause some slipping to occure.
I hope this helps you.
Misfire cylinders #1,2,3,6,7
if a motor that miss fires that bad i would do a major tune up and all the fixings including spark plugs and plug wires if it had a distrubiter i would replace the cap and rotor and last but not least i would test the coil or coils if it dont have a distrubiter.
What does headlight leveling mean
Most of the luxury models and most newer vehicles have a bubble level that is on the back side of the headlamp that can be seen with the hood open and the may be an access cover that wil have to be opened to see it. There is an adjustment on the headlight to "level" the headlight for an optimum projection without blinding oncoming traffic. Here is the thing, you must make sure you vehicle is on a perfectly level surface before leveling you headlamps or everything you do will be a waste of time.
Car runs great and has
it sounds like the vehicle is starving itself for fuel... if it runs fine in town, or on close trips... sounds like when your on the freeway, and got the gas down its demanding fuel, and not getting what it needs to run, thats why it will start right back up.. if i were you i think i would start with the cheapest thing first and replace the fuel filter.. hope this helps.
Is it hard to replace
Depends on your experiences working on cars in this year model. Sure if your a professional mechanic you can get it out in less than a half hour but with hand tools and maybe not a full set of professional tools and the experience to pick the right ones it can take all day

Where is the voltage regulator
The voltage regulator for the alternator is located inside the rear housing of the alternator. It can only be accessed by removing the alternator and dismantling it. If the regulator is faulty it is repair by replacement usually by swapping for an exchange unit from an auto electrician. If the alternator is not charging it may just be a case of the brushes inside the alternator being worn out and requiring replacement.It will still be required to remove and dismantle to carry out their replacement.
