ok we fixed the ground, the gas/milage display is working correctly now and i havent heard the alt. in the radio (but my bf said he still hears it a little bit and possibly another bad ground near amp in the trunk) it hasnt reset it self for 2 mornings now(keeping my fingers crossed!) but the crazy rpm thing still happens when i go to leave in the morning. i always let it run abou 15 min to warm up before i drive it, and im it the habbit of tapping the gas before i leave to see if the rpms are going to jump around. its just weird cause it doesnt do it until you touch the gas?!? we are thinking maf? please let me know if you think it might be that or something else THANK YOU!!! =)
