Puma...wont start electrical mayhem
the Mrs' car had about 4 months and has been okay but randomly wont start
ignition on and the fuel pump relay clicks like crazy i wiggled it and it stopped and the pump primed
go to turn the engine over and it clicks away again and everything on the dash goes crazy rev and speedo needles wave all over the place engine warning like flashes like mad, engine wont trn over
ive given the TPS and MASS sensor plugs a wiggle too, battery is holding 13.4 volts fine
any help greatly appreciated

cleaned all the earths in the engine bay, battery is holding 13.4volts
car starts fine on jump leads off another car, with the engine running the battery is 14.5v so im guessing battery and charging circuits are fine
stop the engine, and again wont start everything dies, stats fine again off jump leads so give it a drive up and down the drive
ABS and traction light come on at 5mph and go off again when stopped, car still wont start off its own battery :S
