installed headers and car dies??????????

Well I start it up for the first time and the battery charge is low like maybe the quarter mark above the 8, which is the bottom, and I drive around for a while and my computer cant read the pcm signal which may or may not be related but then later the abs inop light comes on and then a little while later the car becomes very rough and hasn't enough charge to drive, after the needle is probably where a 6 would be.... what does this sound like it could be is there a ground wire not connected or what??????????? I wanna drive my car!!!

Any chance your alternator isn't plugged in?

I'm not sure on your '94, but my guess is you should have a thick power wire with a ring connector, and also a square electrical connector plugged in, both on the back side of the alternator. Check to make sure theyre on...
