After starting cold engine the guages start working along with the rest of the electrical after five minutes or so (when car is just getting warm). It seems that there is not normal power to the engine when first driven like this.

What is the PNP/Inhibitor Switch and any suggestions on how to fix this? Any links to other sites would be helpful too. I am a newbie to this...
