As for the idiot lights, you may have to take the cluster out and re-solder the connections, or the CPU may need replaced, or connections resoldered. As for the running condition, is your TPS plugged in?? and if it is is it set properly?? This could cause this problem.

Do a search for "TPS" or something similar. The easiest way is the "bug light" method. You basically need to either buy or build a test light, and set it according to that. Youll find tons of info if you search...more than I could give you here.
