    A proper voltage test needs to be conducted. You stated the dash gauge shows less than 10V. That means that your battery has been subject to repeated load cycling that is drawing voltage down and over time I believe has compromised the battery.

    If if your alternator isn't charging properly, you will have a short lived moment of joy. Get a proper voltage test done.

    yea def. im gonna drive it this weekend and see what happens. i most likely guarantee because its been sitting awhile. i have a question thats off topic which might sound stupid, but the car slams into reverse and drive hard. when i first bought the car it was like this and i put it on the lift it was a like built or customized tranny. it def did not look original as i had a mechanic look at it too. is the trans going or does it just need adjusting? anyone ever had this problem before?

    You could just have upgraded valve body pressure in the trans. Mine is maxed out, and if I slow down really slow, real light on the brake pedal, it gets pissed and slams the gears due to the rpm shift point not being ideal. Never in reverse though. And always smooth and quick shifting when accelerating or decelerating quickly.

    the car shifts really smooth through the gears. only time it slams is like if im gonna back out the driveway it slams in reverse same going forward without moving the car. is there any way to fix this issue?
