Default Help! Clock, Dash, Radio Problem

Ok... I have this problem that's really annoying.

Everytime I'm on the gas, if I let off to brake abruptly, my radio turns off and turns back on, the clock blinks, and the lights on my guages blink for just a moment.

If I brake (it does it), let go, and then brake again (it doesn't do it).

If I am cruising, let go of the gas, cruise a little, then brake, it doesn't do it.

It only does it if I push the brakes right after I let off the gas.

I sometimes lose my preset settings on my radio which is really annoying. If I'm cruising at 80mph, sometimes you'll see the needle drop down to like 40mph, before spiking back up to the speed I'm at when everything comes back on.

Any suggesstions?

i would check and clean all your tranny/engine grounding points. My gauges used to jump all over the place when i was driving. i cleaned up the tranny grouding point to the body and it fixed it. just a though.

I have two main engine grounds. One is off the tranny on the passenger side, and the one on the valve cover with a thicker ground wire. All are connected tight and that doesn't look like the problem.
