Sounds like you got a dead cell. Did wally world put a load to the battery when they tested it? I had a battery that registered 12 volts but when a load was put to the battery volts went to 6. If the cell is dead it is toast. Willin' to bet thats your problem.

Re: Quick battery question...

Ok it goes to 8.8 now and wont die while trying to turn it over... It just wont turn the engine over... I have a SES light before starting, ABS INOP and a Check Gauges light that is very dim. I found some 1/8" connectors that go in the back of the block for my oil pressure gauge. It now reads 0 when the key is in the on position. It will climb up to about 40psi when I try to start it and then the oil pressure on the gauge will go back down to 0 within 10 seconds.

I am lost..... I thought the oil pressure gauge was supposed to go up as soon as you turned the key to the on position...

*Edit* Oh yah, I had the wrong oil sensor too... Now that the correct sensor is plugged in the oil thing seems to be working much better now.
