PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

Pontiac Grand Prix 1994 131,000milles and its a 3.1 liter. I just got the car repaired today it was an intake gasket and now the car will not start. While driving I noticed that when I put the turn signal on the speedometer would jump and the speedometer would also jump when I applied the brake pedal. When I put the turn signal on also my radio would cut out and when I would step on the excelerator from a complete stop the car would struggle to move like there was no transmition in the car at all. The car was perfectly fine until I brought it into the repair shop. Now the car wont start when I turn the ignigition the car just makes a clicking souind and the lights on the intrument pannel blink with the clicking noise.I know it has to be something eletrical but I dont know what. Could someone please help me I really net this car to be driveable. I need it for school.

With the gauges jumping around and the lights flickering I woulld suspect that maybe you have a loose ground or something. I would check and make sure that the battery cables are clean and tight. Also make sure the grounds on the engine block are tight. With the clicking while tring to start it sounds like a low battery. Make sure that they pluged the alternator wires back in. Have you taken it back to them yet to see if it is something that they may have over-looked?
