97 Oldsmobile 88 will die and all of the gauges go way up and then down?

Asked by chatty_cathy Nov 02, 2013 at 08:37 AM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It restarts, but has done this when I am driving it...scary, scary. Anyone had a similar problem? It has 90K miles on it. Newer battery, new serpentine belt, newer battery cables and spark plugs. Thank you! Kathy

Crank shaft position sensor was replaced a few weeks and so far, so good.
