Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Gauges going crazy, vacuum line, return to zero

Question
I own a 98 olds intrigue.  Had problems starting it and had the battery replaced.  That only lasted about 2 weeks.  Not all the time,but often, it will not want to start and the gauges max out then all return to zero.  This is sometimes follwed by a clicking noise when the key is out of the ignition.  It will do this and then most of the time start.  Any advice?

Answer
Does the battery go dead or WHAT ?. Explain it a little plainer and in greater detail as I need more information.

What mechanical work or ANY kind of work has been performed on the vehicle recently ?. As most problems that occur after a recent repair was made can be traced back to the area of where the repair was made as a vacuum line may have been knocked loose or a wire connection came loose, Look around in the area where work was performed..
