ok here is my problem. My 95 GT has been sitting for about a month or so, I go to start and it has a dead battery, no prob. I jump it and it starts right up. It idles for about 5-10 munutes then starts reving up and down and dies. I go to fire it back up and all my gauges are crazy, and it won't do anything. I also noticed the check engine and the light beside it are on really dim when the key is off and out. Any ideas??????Please help.....

Check the ground cable to and from the battery and engine block. Sounds like it is corroded.
