Guages keep resetting on my 97?
When i go to turn up the volume high on the radio the gauges will reset the same as if i just started the car anyone have any ideas? It only does it every once in awhile.

Well,, first you need to figure out if its related to VIBRATION from the speakers or if it being induced by an electrical anomaly from the radio!
Sounds like something is happening to the serial data buss. Most likely in the door areas!
Just for sheets and grins,, try this:
Get the car to do the problem just like it always does when the radio is up loud. Then turn the radio down LOW and (with out changing anything else) use your fist to bang on the door panels (VIBRATE the doors like a loud music passage that causes the problem) and watch the IPC. Tell me if you can duplicate the issue!
