This has happened 3 times now... but this morning I noticed something different...
The a/t oil temp, Battery icon and Brake light flashed about 8 times or so then stayed on, my dash lights got brighter than they have ever been and my hesitation I have been experincing stopped and it ran nice and smooth....i know that sounds strange since the lights mean something bad usually...

Anyone Help me with this

...In addition...One of my belts broke a couple weeks ago and I had them all replaced....but at the time it broke, all those lights came on too....but my temp went sky high....

Temp stays normal when they came on today

Sounds like you may have 2 diff problems.. First, Your Battery and brake light flashing.. Thats usually a charging system issue , meaning Alternator most likely is starting to fail. I would have your Charging system and Battery Checked. 2nd your temp issue. Depending upon mileage and Service would help me point out further diagnose. such as Servicing Coolant? timing belt? Water Pump , OR thermostat. It could be a simple air pocket from a coolant service. Additional info would be helpfully on the 2nd

First off thank you for the reply..I have suspected Battery or Alternator but thought the alternator was either good or bad....I will have both checked...

I concur, have the alternator tested.
