Help, got a CEL

Been getting a CEL on my 2003 996 TT, and when it comes on, all guages fail, except gas guage. No AC either. When i punch it, and it hits 4-5k rpm, CEL goes off, and all things work again. After awhile it will come back on, and same thing, everything is off.
Codes read a faulty cluster, but does that sound right? Especially when it works everytime i floor it.
I'd hate to spend $3-$4k on a cluster and it is something else.

Thanks for the help.

Howie

How are your voltages?? Wondering if your alternator/regulator is causing issues... Do you have a way to monitor voltages and track them?

How would you do that? Car starts fine, and all other electronic items work well.
