Cool cool. I'll do the big three one these days.

I feel retarded for not having a DMM. i really need to get one

im sure my battery is toast. ive killed that thing atleast 6-8 times since ive owned the car (1 1/2 years). its running on the original alternator im pretty sure. whether or not that makes a difference i dont know.

well geting a new battery would be a good start. u can get a Dmm from walmart for like $15. there alot of little things u can do to get all your answers to your issues
