Default Digital dash problem

I seem to be having a problem with the digital dash in my 93. It will work fine when I first start the car. When I go to restart the car it will not work correctly, it flashes and freezes. But if the car sits for a few hours, it will work fine again. Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Richard

Sounds like a poor connection. Try removing the plugs from the wiring harness and replugging them back in which will clean the contacts.

Yep, what he said. That worked for my '92.
