Ceck your engine groudn strap to the body.  If it is broken or not 
making good connection the engine ground will be made via the throttle
and choke cables.  This usually happens when you try to start the car
because that is the time when a lot of current (100's of amps) is flowing
to run the starter.

Peace,
Pat
