I just put my car back together and I was able to start it, and everything was fine. I just moved the vehicle out of the garage and parked it. Two days later I started it up to run some errands and my instrument panel reads power steering, Coolant gives three different temperatures, my speedometer and RPMs are not registering. Everything was fine when I first started it and moved it out of the garage. Can you help me with where the fuses for the speedometer and RPMs and what should I do about the power steering even though it's working.

Check fuses: Start by inspecting the fuse box in your vehicle.

What is the voltage when it is running? Also did you try swapping out the cluster?

The tow truck driver was asking what was wrong with the car and I told him what the obdII scan told me, but I think it was also the fuel pump since the car was sounding like it was having trouble getting fuel. He suggested it was the fuel pump as well.

I don't think the fuel pump will cause the "Coolant gives three different temperatures and the speedometer and RPMs are not registering"

Still won’t start. There was fuel coming out of fuel rail pressure relief valve. Replaced valve stem, the original was bent. But the vehicle still won’t start. Camshaft sensor still for check engine light.

We had better do a CAN scan to see what's going on, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:
