Electrical and Engine problems... Please help... 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Nick Morrow on  Mon Jan 1 17:50 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Ok, here are the problems:

1) This morning when I went to get in my car, I started it up. It sounded a little different (almost like a low battery) but finally kicked in. I decided to drive it around the neighborhood. It wasn't driving right. The car felt as if it was in a different gear than normal. When letting my foot off the accelerator, the car would feel like it was braking (as if it was in a different gear). Overall it just didnt drive right.

2) My intrument panel (Speedometer, Fuel, A/C controls, etc.) are out. I think I know the reason for this. I'm trying to install some neons in my car and in the process a + and - wire connected and caused my CD player fuse to burn out. I replaced the fuse and then noticed the intrument panel was out. My cd player now works, but its kind of flickering a bit.

I'm wondering if the wires connecting did anything to the engine? Another reason for the engine problem could be that we had a hard freeze last night and a light snow (my car was outside, which is abnormal). When I came out to the car, it had ice scattered on it and icecicles hangin off of it. Any ideas??? Thanks for ANY help!
