My engine has been doing some wierd stuff lately. The gauges go up and down, the engine lights go on and off (airbags, check engine, etc) then the motor will hestitae and sometimes dies. Let it sit for a while and it will start back up. Check engine doesn't stay on all the time. Have the codes check- nothing is showing up as having any issues. Disconnected most of wire harnesses, removed & replaced fuses- no help. Will run fine for a couple days then act up right after starting it up. Sometimes I can get 30 minutes away and act up again. Confused! Not sure what to check next.

Sounds like a bad body control module. Does the gas gauge read empty Key less entry or door locks inop interior light ever flashing Won't come out of park?A crank no start is another thing it like's to do when they go bad. When they go bad they never tell on themselves they usually don't set code's. Once in a while there will be a U1000 code set in the engine computer.
