Idle seems normal and then Check Engine light flashes, temp reading goes from normal to low and mpg gauge (on the tachometer) jumps to around 15. This takes about 2 seconds.

Then everything goes back to normal.

What happened?

Could be Caps on the dash are old and need replacing, or could be a probelm with your electrical system.. ie alternator or battery.
I know when my alternator was out, all kinds of weird things would come on and off.
