ok this is hard to explain, but here it goes. my car has a full tank of gas, and a full tank of antifreeze. my antifreeze is somehow leaking out of the cap when it is fully tightened on, and my car stutters and shut off while i'm driving. when it does shut off, my battery light comes on and my radio shuts completely off when it was on before all of this happens. you can also hear gurgling inside the engine when the hood is up and sometimes you hear a popping sound like a hose is hitting the fan every once in a while. does anybody have a clue what could be wrong? oh yeah, my gas tank meter along with the engine temperature meter doesn't work either.
 
Sounds like you need to check your fuses for the guages. As for the hose hitting, check the hose from the radiator cap to the reservoir to make sure it is connected properly. Might have to remove the hose and reservoir to make sure coolant is traveling back and forth correctly. I had a ford truck a month ago that the antifreeze had gelled in the bottom of the reservoir at the hose inlet.
