It's just the battery.... Mine used to do this, as well as MANY others, just change the battery and you will be set. Does it seem like it does it more often on cold starts? If so, definitly the battery, same EXACT symptoms for me and a battery change fixed it all.

"By "cluster" you are refering to the entire guage assembly that simply pulls out? So all I need is to replace the entire guage assembly? I bought my car new, and because of what the car is, it did not come with a warranty."

Yes,but simplest things first,be sure to check the battery connections.

everytime is start it does it....i am taking it to the dealer, but will they have to mess with the PCM at all? the battery was loose but there wasn't any arching on the AC canister from the battery rockin back and forth so it must be internal. also i changed the battery last year, so i think its fine.

I have a 99 Z28 and had the same problem. Dealer replaced the cluster when it was still under warranty. The problem is in the cluster and it has to be replaced by a dealer. They told me they had to order it with my mileage programmed in.
