Car died while driving home from work gauges stuck at 4000 rpms and 50 mph then put in neutral and turned key and gauges went back to normal now wont start had a check engine before now dosnt pls help
To begin with, the "suggested" answers you might see at the bottom of the screen are not always answers for your question or car.
When you turn the key on, you should be seeing all of the warning lights as a bulb check.
If not, the gauges fuse could be out, or a wiring problem, or an issue with the key switch. The check engine light is powered thru the computer so the computer fuse could be out.
Based on what you have said, I would check the key switch first.
You may need to get a book to have all of the wiring diagrams.

The codes don't match up to the chart. Do the keydance again and see if there is any difference.
here's the codes http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=PCM%20Error%20Codes
24 (Throttle position sensor voltage does not agree with MAP)
14 (MAP sensor voltage too low/too high)
Points to the map sensor.
I've scanned a couple pages in my Haynes manual and uploaded them for you. These pages will help you check out the sensors.

More than likely it's the map sensor. I remember when i turboed my car i had major problems with the safc and the map sensor. It would act just like yours does. The ecu doesn't use the map sensor in closed loop mode. Open loop starts at 4000rpms and will start reading values from the map. If it is receiving values not in spec then it will limit the rpms and stay locked in closed loop.
Replace the map sensor and let me know how it turns out.
SOURCE: Engine revs up to 3000-4000 rpm all by itself
THERE IS A TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON MOTOR WHICH CAUSES THIS PROBLEM... USUALLY IT SHOWS A NEGATIVE TEMP READING WHICH CONFUSES THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT TO REV UP....HAVE THE ENGINE DIAGNOSED ON A SCANNER....GOOD LUCK...
SOURCE: Engine won't start. Dash lights flash rapidly when key turned.
the battery says 12 volts but may be dropping to 4 or 5 under a load...i would suggest jumpstarting the car and see what happens.the battery should read in the high 12 volts and not less than 9.5 under cranking. the dash lights go out on your car when starting,and the alarm will go off ,and disable the ignition if the voltage is too low in cranking the car because the computer will shut it down and activate the anti theft.....check your battery posts are tight. best of luck
