Default Need help guys... When starting, cluster gauges/power lags to turn on?

So I'm gonna try to explain this in an easy way but don't know what's really wrong. I have a 2002 Camaro ss with 26k miles. Has LT's, slp lid, slp loudmouth 1, and a full dyno tune. But before the mods this issue was still a problem. So when I want to start my car regardless of time of day, the power/instrument cluster takes forever to turn on. Like I'll turn the key and when I do that it won't start, the instrument cluster has to do its thing first and then it will turn on. And sometimes it takes like almost a min or so for the cluster/power to "engage" so to say. What's the issue?

My 99' SS does the same thing... gauge needles kinda "reset"when engine fires.

Check your battery/connections. Fairly common when battery is going out or connections corroded.

Good luck

Not an engine issue, you'll do better here in the Camaro section.
