Flickering gages

Sometimes when I'm driving and I turn my gages inside go crazy my rpm tach goes crazy and all the lights in the dash flicker. Does anyone know what could be causing that

Battery Issue, get it tested just to be safe.

Could be poor/coroded ground or other electrical issue.

Battery/Alternator. One of these are the culprit. Get to an autoparts store and have 'em test them both.

check to see if your battery is loose from the holder. these cars have a habit of breaking the plastic tray lip that holds the battery in place. mine was doing that at the track everytime i launched. the positive cable was hitting the AC accumulator when it fell backwards causing acing and shorting out the car.
