I would almost say there is a bad conection or even bad solder joint on the back of the cluster. with road vibration might set it off. I have seen it more times then not

With my car it ended up being a dirty connector to gauges. I cleaned it up and have not anymore issues.

I have a 2005 Buick LeSabre, it ran hot one morning and i heard this clicking noise coming from the engine like the valves were'nt getting oil or something. Now when a crank it the engine runs like it has a bad plug or two and there is constant bubbling into the water reservoir while it's running. I have been told that it's a blown head gasket and am asking around too see if that's what it is or could it be something else, the constant bubbling in the water reservoir is what has got me? but anyone that could give me some suggestions on what it is would be much appreciated. 4 Answers
