having issues gettin started!!

Here recently when i try to start my truck it has to try to turn over 4 or 5 times to get going if it starts at all. Also when i just turn the key one click forward the tach needle and the speedo go all the way and hit max right the come back to 0. If it does start the abs light sticks on for about 5 min then goes off. Anything will help, thanks

Grin.

My standard advice is not needed this time:

"Take 2 computer resets and call me in the morning".
