Help with possible ground problem???????? 95 Camaro 4.3 V6
Symptoms:
a) When I turn on the air conditioning the speedometer goes up to 20-30mp and the tach jumps around between 1-2.
b) the speedometer is off by at least 10mph too fast.
c) Check engine light comes on, and goes off after it sits for a while.
d) Aftermarket CD (installed when I bought it) has major engine interference.
e) When I attempt to start the car I have to turn the key several times before the starter will do anything, then it seems like a hard start.
Where to start? I know little to nothing about cars and dont have the money to go the dealership.
Thanks! Brian

Do you have an Auto parts store near-by? Ask them if they can check out the charging system in your car while its running. If they have the equipment it'll tell you if the battery, alternator, or starter is bad.
