yes.. that is what i recomended..
keep the charger on it while your cranking but wait let it charge for like 30-60 minutes
so the battery can get a decent charge back on it.. then while your cranking leave it on Boost charge.. ( or what ever its called.. ) trust me i had to do this everymorning on my old 88.. HAHA it sucked.. did you check the main fusees in the Engine bay?

also look underneath your Driver side dash and see if anywires are cut...

With a DMM. If it's not there, turn the screw next to the TPS.

This could also be caused by a severe intake leak. My '88 does that if I pull the hose to the BAC off of the intake or off of the BAC. Check to make sure the wires to the AFM are OK too.
