Re: any ideas??

i had a similar but not exactly the same problem - car would run fine, but not restart when warm - would wait a while, then it would start and run fine. Turns out the ignition relay was failing when it was warm - maybe your relay is failing after being energized for a while.

That being said, a bad relay might not account for the gauges to spike then go dead, but a bad ground might.

good luck
