Car began sputtering and missing. Fuel injector cleaner in gasoline helped some at first. Then all electrical gauges began going black while driving, then eventually entire car went "black", like somebody had turned off the key. If light on security was not on, then car wouldn't crank. Have been without car for over a week now. Wasn't battery or alternator and electrical checked out okay when tester hooked to fuse panel. Also, all gauges would pin wide open when you cranked the car. This is a bunch of crap!
