I have a 2000 Nissan Sentra, gxe, 114K, 1.6 engine.

THIS PROBLEM started about 4months ago and was very irratic, sometimes it won't happened for weeks and now it happens almost everytime I drive.

While driving the gauges stop working the gas gauge shows more gas then i have, the temp gauge sometimes drops to zero or stays wheere it is. The speedometer and Tach stay at the speed and revs I am driving at, or they drop to zero.

When I turn off the cars approx. 15 mins. everything is working again. No otheer problems as for as I know exists. thanks for the help.
