the no-start troubleshooting list may be a good start.

sure sounds like kill switch to me.  i'd start by physically connecting the kill switch wires and see if the problem goes away.

not sure how the neutral safety switch affects gauges.  you might play with the gear shift lever to see how it influences your problem.

another no cost option is to swap out the starter relay.  

• there are three relays above the ecm which is above the transmission bell housing.
• they control the starter, ignition and fuel pump.  the relays are all alike.  
• the starter relay will have some yellow wires running to it.  swap it out with another relay and see if your problems move with the relay.

good luck with it.

Monsoon Engine?  Fuel Injected?

Problem might be with your Cannon Plug.
