my gauges are tweaking

[916_5.0]

So for some reason my temp gauge and fuel gauge will randomly freak out and will go way past the over heating side of the gauge and my gas gauge will go to like empt or to full. Then they will just go back to normal. As far as what is correct. Any idea why they are doing this? and also I was driving yesterday and now my speedo stopped working and it doesnt work at all any ideas?

And also when I slow down now to come to a stop my car will randomly just die like the rpms will be dropping down to idle but then just drop all the way down to zero and my cars dead, and also last night i parked and there was a huge puddle of coolant under my car 5 minutes later, and now everytime i park it leaks into a puddle for a while.

If your car is losing coolant, then you obviously need to find the leak. If the temp sending unit isn't getting coolant flow over it, then it will bounce erratically.

Look for the leak.

I don't know about the fuel gauge.

Im really confused as to why my car is dying when i come to s stop like if i push the clutch in and brake to come to a stop the rpmsjust drop till its dead, it did it at 5 straight stoplights last night, then other times it doesnt, any ideas on that? And any idea why my speedo just quit?

You should probably find out why it's dumping coolant. That seems to be the pressing issue.

I think you may have two problems
1. coolant leak
2. bad grounds

Yeah the coolant thing is a big problem but the thing about my car dying has become a bit of a problem i was on the freeway and got on the off ramp and pushed the clutch and and braked and it died and i had not power steering and went of the road. So those two things need to get fixed hoepfully tomorrow.
