    You check all the fluids yet? The only thing i could think is your alt. is crazy and seriously screwing with the sensors on your car. the tapping scares me as to no oil.

    I was going to say it sounded like your cam jumped a tooth on the timing belt. It sounds like that or everytime its ever done it to me that is. glad it was an easy fix

    Sounds more like an electric problem to me.

    If ALL of the warning lights came on, this is mostly it. The battery and oil lights aren't really related in any way,
