I put the UDP on my 02 neon and the engine light comes on at WOT. It always goes off after a while. well it hasn't gone off in like a week so I was at a red light and turned my car off and did the key dance to see if the codes changed at all. They didn't change and it said done and I started the car. Started driving and then I heard my low fuel light come on and I look and none of my gauges are working! I was going down a hill turned the car off and back on and nothing. Stopped in a driveway when I got home and still nothing...

Anyone know why?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT:btw, I'm going to disconnect the battery and check fuses. I can't do those things right now. But if those don't fix the problem any other ideas?

Hm....I have no idea. Hopefully someone else can help. They usually do.

Good News!! Gauges started working. All I did was wait 15 minutes of not moving then turn the key and they worked....weird. Anyone know why?

Loose wire? Bad ground somewhere? Fuse on it's way out? Could be any of those.

prob a bad ground... double check the power and ground as well as the connectors, or it could be a bad wire

Well it started working again. When I went back outside I just started it up and they worked. Where would a bad ground be or wiring? It may happen again I'm thinking.
