Can anyone out there with FD experience tell me what's the problem.



I finally toke my FD for a drive after it's been sitting in my garage for a little over 3 weeks. Needless to say I raced the engine a bit, nothing serious, 5000 - 6000rpm.

When I was on my way home, suddenly all the little red lights on the stock gauges lit up. (charge light, oil light, temp light, abs light) But when I take it out of gear, the lights go off. When I engage in gear and press the gas, it all lights up again??? But the car response perfectly even when everything is lit? If anyone can solve this mystery...Thanks in advance.
