car is driving me nuts
on my PFC its showing that im getting only 11.4 volts and the car is running like ****, like the plugs are fouled out. the story is i just rebuilt the motor, and this is like the 5th time i turned the car on... havent even drove the car yet. but b4 the car was running ok at 14.5v the pfc showed, now i cant even hold a steady charge on the PFC even when I have another car running a jumper cable to it. When i jump the car it shows 12.8 volts. PLEASE SOME HELP

Get your alternator checked out. Similar thing happened to me last weekend. If the regulator is shot, it can quickly drain your battery. Even with a new battery, it will eat through the charge fairly quickly. If the alternator is fine, then id check your wiring. (assuming the battery is ok)

i figure my cables and grounds should be good seeing that the alternator was at 14.5v B4, so im going to pull out the alternator and get it checked to see what happens
