There is a charging system fault somewhere. What parts are there? Alternator, regulator and battery. Anyone think of anything else in the "circuit" that could be failing?
Is the voltage regulator integrated into the alternator on this one? I'd be tempted to replace both, but I'm loathe to throw parts at a problem without having the proper diagnosis.
And to the mileage and driving the car, I meant once this problem is sorted out, you should drive the car more...

Ok, here is the deal, I was going from memory when I said that I drove her a good long drive then parked and 15 min. she was dead. I will go take her out now and report back exactly how long it takes for her to go dead. I should have been more specific. And ounce it is started I'll do the test that again and see what the read out is at a higher rpm. I'll get back to ya. And thanks soooo much for stickin this one out with me. I thank you guys enough. Don't give up on me.!!! I'm goin for the drive now.
