When I turn key, all instument lights come on, all gauges go haywire and will not start. If I disconnect and reconnect battery, it will start for a few times. Seems to run fine whenit will start. Any ideas about a solution?

it sounds like there is something wrong with your body computer or more likely your engine computer. I would recomend an OBD II scan to check for error codes.

Again - sounds like corrosion on the battery terminalks. That white or green chalky stuff. Clean it with a wire brush and add new terminals first before you go with computer scans etc.
