Hi.
The RPM keeps dropping to zero when driving when it should be higher as you accelerate.
The car cuts off-battery seems fine but not tested.
Driving on hwy rpm dropped to zero-radio went off.
was able to make it back home-when parked car-speedometer needle stayed at 60mph-next day car did crank on-drove around corner (TCS/ABS lights are on-airbag light comes on too) car seems to jerk a little. Rpm went back down to zero made it back around the corner to house-car would not start again-but started up yesterday.
Does not appear to be the alternator or battery based on this-could it be bad gas or transmission problem?
Also though the car is automatic-can put it in a 5-speed which as you know is a matter of pushing the gear from 1.2.3.4.5 no clutch.
Thanks for your help-sorry low on funding as donation can't be too high-just put an alternator in my other vehicle. Thnx!

Ok lets see what we can do here. First I would like you to get the codes. The lights are on for a reason and we need to know why. If you have a parts store near you that will do a scan test on it then do that this way it will be free. Then get back to me with the codes and I will look them up and we will go from there ok.
