Default Gage freak out

I'm getting on freeway and as I am accelerating all my gages, tach, spedomitor, fuel oil water I mean every one of them start flashing and needle spinning out of control so I let off gas and it stopped and regained power. What would cause that to happen? Battery replaced as well as altenator did fuel filter yesterday doing spark plugs today. It cranks just won't start. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not clear on your question? Cranks, won't start, runs on the highway with gauge issues.

You have to isolate it to lack of fuel, or spark. Also what has changed since you have this issue,. If you can after cranking, pull a spark plug, is it wet or can you smell gas on it? Go from there.
