Same thing i was driving my car to work one morning i slowed down to go around a corner and when i went to accelerate there was nothing i pulled over to start it back up nothing it would just crank got it home thought it was the fuel pump we put a new one in nothing cant hear it running all fuses and relays are fine dont know what to do now. looking for a reset for the fuel pump

I would not mess around with it. If it is indeed electrical I would take it to a GM dealer. Your steering is nothing the mess around with.

What is wrong is one of the computers that tell the engine what to do is bad. I would say that it is the ECM, or the BCM. With the gauges going hay wire I would say the BCM or body control module. But if the ECM or Engine Control Module is sending the wrong signal to the BCM it could be the ECM. It is going to be one of the two.

what type of car is it , did you just add fuel ,have you checked the basics ,oil antifreeze ,is there any check engine lights on ,the more you let us know the better we can help you , we are here waiting to help. Thank You .

Tranny low on fluid. When you stop or turn it all goes to one side causing the problems.

just wondering,, when you accelerated you say the needle went up ,,but did the car kinda splutter, or not pull away at all when you accelerated,,,if the needle goes up but the car doesnt seen to pull away then that sounds like a clutch slipping,,.. but if it just hesitates it could be lots of things ,,maybe a dodgy airflow meter..that can also make the car hesitate,,hope that helps you,,,,,

sounds like a large vacuum hose was knocked off the engine when they pulled the trans out, have that checked.

Replace your Fuel Filter and Fuel Pump. They are Both the Cause of this Problem.

I had this happen to me before. My battery had went out and I had put another in (didn't buy a new one-- it was holiday). It did this exact thing to me. The scary part is once, it was on the interstate going about 75 mph... didn't die but all gauges went to nothing. It turned out that the battery I was using didn't have enough cold cranking amps and was pulling down the alternator too much so the computer shut it down. The one time it didn't... it was because the RPH's were too high. Try checking the battery and alternator... make sure you have the right battery and have an alternator shop test your alternator if the battery is good.

Probably air in the ABS or bad ABS. don-ohio (:^)
