Car wouldn't start found the battery was dead, I removed it charged it held charge. put it back in, car started fine. then the dash rpm,speedometer, temp gauge and warning lights all quit working.the battery is only about 6-8 months old i was thinking maybe my computer chip module may be bad. no wiring work or anything has been done.
You have replace a crankshaft position censer
Coming here was a pretty good start... FREE
What you need to do is AVAIL yourself of the circuit drawings & TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBs)...
The ABSOLUTE BEST drawings are found in your model and year's FACTORY+WORKSHOP+REPAIR+MANUAL...
(excepting FIRE ZONES & extreme winds) ... I strongly recommend paper CIRCUIT DRAWINGS
Typically 2000 Sunfire will include several different GM clusters
and the actual FACTORY manuals are not cheap...
(But few really great things... rarely are... ).
BEGINNING progress can be accomplished with FREE
drawings & TSBs from BBB Industries website
(registration is required ... as these are real documents).

SUCCESS comes from careful & CORRECT HANDLING
of sophisticated semiconductor circuitry (meaning: you must
beg, borrow or buy an anti-static wrist-strap... & use it )

The slightest static spark... (you might not even feel)
is enough to completely destroy any SEMICONDUCTOR...

Incredibly important...

Hope this helps... If it does NOT ... Comment me back
(we can do this... It is a pretty cool Sunfire)

Many times, When electrics act up. it has to do with a ground problem. Fuses must be good you have power. Auto electrics like to have a single wire running to the device and then depend on a ground near by to grounded steel instead of a return wire. Loose grounds have no return and the device acts crazy and will be erratic, and not act properly. No where for the electricity to go. Eliminate the possibility of bad or missing grounds first, then get out an electric volt ohm meter, Start checking voltage, and eliminating things that have proper and constant voltage. Then look for bad devices. Just trying to save you some money. Electrical Trouble shooting can be time consuming and expensive. You can do it. lbreen
SOURCE: battery was dead charged it up and tryed to start
More then likely you have a bad battery, if you feel battery is charge up, turn your head light's on , try to start car, if your head light go dim your battery needs to be replace it has bad cell's.Hope this was helpful.
SOURCE: 2005 sunfire gauges all wacked out
All these gauges are controlled by a fuse, start there first, if they are blow just replace them, you should find all necessary info in your manual that came with the car when you bought it new.
SOURCE: I have a 1999 Pontiac
usually a ground that goes to the battery pan... usually the battery pan is rusted beyond repair. Easy repair is removing the ground, then going from the ground part of the battery to a bolt on the fender. That usually clears this up.
