2001 Olds Alero 2.4 idles rough misses acasionally then under torque at 3000 it misses and Trac off light comes on and service engine light flashes

Go to an auto parts store and have them scan for a code. That should give you an indication of what is wrong with it.

Gauges stop working, engine won't idle

See the YouTube video on how to repair broken solder joints on your instrument cluster connector. This takes about an hour and solves a number of intermittent problems. I think it may be under "no start" problems.

2002 ford explorer sport trac , starts fine, runs good then about 30 min it starts to run rough,and idling poorly, not fuel or fuel filter

You need to check your plug wires for cracks and wear. The best way to know if they are bad is to run your engine at nightr and look for any time of blue arcing spark coming from any of the wires. I believe that replacing the wires will solve your problem.

I have a 02 Cavalier that when your driving the Trac off light comes on when the light is on it runs rough and shifts hard but if i put it in park turn it off and restart it it's fine

There is a malfunction in you antilock brake/traction control system. When the TRAC light is on, the computer is trying to tell you either 1. That the traction control is active and is controlling your brakes, engine and transmission to stop a wheel skid, or 2. There is is a malfunction in your traction control system.

In the first case above, the TRAC light will only be on for a few seconds until the conditions causing your wheels to slip no longer exist. If the light is staying on even though there is no way your wheels are slipping or skidding, then this is a malfunction. You must scan both your Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and your Antilock Brake System (ABS) module to properly diagnose a problem with this system.
