cars acting up

took the car out on the highway to show my friend what its got..its acting up a litttle.

i stopped at a light after exiting the highway..the car died and wouldn't start back up. i figured it flooded. so i pulled the egi fuse out and ran it then plugged it in and it started. SOO the rpm gauge bobbled and went up after it started but then it just stopped moving and went down, the car still ran perfectly fine though. i heard a constant 2 BEEPS right when i started driving, it went off when i was finished driving though. the gauge will at first work when i start the car but then will stop after the car starts, so the rpm gauge isn't working. im also getting this constant 2 beeps when i drive, but when i stop it stops beeping. what is this? i replaced the egi fuse with a new one to think thats the problem, and its not. the car is now starting fine but still getting the same problem with the beeping and the gauge not working, car runs and drives fine. im letting it sit in my garage tonite to let the baby rest hoping that'll do it somewhat..any ideas please let me know! thanks
