For the last few months as we are driving the car (going 60mph) the speedometer and tachometer would drop to zero for a few seconds then go back to normal readings. The lights and engine would continue to run. This happened happened twice in 6 months then all of a sudden 4 two weeks ago. Then it started fine last week when he went to town (4 miles) then 3 hours later when he started it the engine suddenly died. At this time the lights would blink on and off. He let it sit for a day, then went to meet the tow truck the next day and it started fine. He took it too our local auto center and it ran fine for them (they drove it for a few days). Two days later it did the same thing to him (died right after he started it). He let it sit for a few hours, then it ran ok. Help...any ideas?
The alarm is activating when he locks it and for some reason the key or fob isnt deactivating it..check the disarm switches in the door

OK....we found someone else to look at the car. This mechanic replaced a Map Relay. The car has worked fine ever since.
Thanks
two weeks later it started dying about two seconds after it started and the headlights would begin to flash. We did realize that it would not do this if he does not lock the car. This has worked so far.
