Why did my speedometer stop working and within minutes my 02 Cadillac Sts stalled and would barely accelerate?

The speedometer and odometer gets a signal from the speed sensor in the side of the transmission where the speedo cable once was.
The problem could be the speed sensor, or something in the wiring, or in the instrument cluster. Or it could be that the transmission is failing internally.

1990 HONDA CIVIC DX ENGINE LIGHT ON

More info needed. Is this a hatch back, sedan, or CRX? Is the odometer mechanical [old style] or digital [LCD numbers] The vehicle speed sensor [located behind the speedometer in the instrument cluster] drives both the speedometer and the odometer [mileage meter]. It sounds like an electric problem in the instrument cluster. Remove the instrument cluster and take it to your local speedometer repair shop. Look in the yellow pages for them. Or simply buy and install a used instrument cluster from a junk yard.

The speedometer on my 350z stopped Working

See if there are codes stored, pull them and start from there.

It may just be a bad vehicle speed sender to the speedometer.

Where is the fuel filter located on a 1990 Ford Taurus LX (3.0 L)? Is changing that filter a job for thumbs?

Just inside the rear passenger wheel well. This is a fairly easy job. Be careful not to get gas all over the place, and make sure you put the new filter on in the correct direction.

2005 Ford Taurus ABS light and fuel cap light remain lit. Also digital meter than reads gas and mileage keeps turning off. Just fixed brakes so theyre fine but light stays on and cap is on fine.

you will need to replace the fuel cap. The light doesnt tell you the cap is on or off. What itis doing is measuring the pressure in your tank. If it is not in a certain range then the light comes on.

Car dies if accelerator is not engaged

the starting problem could be head gasket if it got really hot..... black smoke wouldn't be oil, and gas would stink but not black smoke if it's old, it wouldn't really matter if it had been sitting for 4 months. black smoke is probably caused by a gas mixture problem, or maybe a stuck fuel injector.
