Q: Dashboard lights, engine not running
Yesterday I tried to turn my car on, the engine started, RPM goes to 1, then to 0.5 then back to 1.
I waited for a minute. Turned it off, then back on again, same thing happened. Waited till the low temperature signal turned off.
I turned the car off, turn it back on, RPM went to 1 then to 0 and the engine stopped. This time, the following lights in the dashboard turned on: Engine, Oil, Battery and PS.
Turned it off, waited a while, same thing happened.
I tried today, the engine remained on but same as above.
My car has an automatic transmission.
