solved the misfire problem, it was a mixture of the LIM gasket and the fuel filter. so i left my parents garage tonight and notice the lights were getting dim, 2 miles into driving i'm showing 9 volts on my scan gauge. 9 volts turns into 7, turns into stalling. car was so gutless after that i couldn't get it into a parking lot after 2 jumps.

i guess i gotta replace the battery and the alternator but shouldn't the battery have held up through some of this abuse through the drive? i'm not showing a dead short but can there be one? and on the wiring harness where can i ground to chasis? i picked under the coil pack against the heads.
